✨ New Features

  • [USER] Streamlined Kubernetes cluster upgrades for enhanced user experience. We've removed non-eligible versions from the upgrade selection, replacing them with a hint to indicate the existence of more versions.

  • [DEVELOPER] The pkg/resourcemanager/predicate.ClassFilter.Active function was replaced by IsTransferringResponsibility and IsWaitForCleanupRequired.
    • pkg/resourcemanager/predicate.ClassFilter.IsTransferringResponsibility should be used to check whether the .spec.class field of a ManagedResource has changed and let the controller which was previously responsible for the ManagedResource perform any additional/cleanup tasks.

📰 Noteworthy

  • [OPERATOR] The ContainerdRegistryHostsDir feature gate has been promoted to GA and is now locked to "enabled by default". by @ialidzhikov [#8979]

✨ New Features

  • [OPERATOR] When hibernating a cluster, Gardener now assigns an error code ERR_CLEANUP_CLUSTER_RESOURCES to shoot clusters if (user) pods are still running in namespaces other than kube-system. by @benedictweis [#9060]
  • [OPERATOR] node-agent checks health of containerd and kubelet now. This replaces the previous bash implementation of these health checks. by @majst01 [#8786]
  • [OPERATOR] Gardener can now support clusters with Kubernetes version 1.29. To allow creation/update of 1.29 clusters you will have to update the version of your provider extension(s) to a version that supports 1.29 as well. Please consult the respective releases and notes in the provider extension's repository. by @acumino [#8976]
  • [OPERATOR] The components managed by gardener now use PDBs with unhealthyPodEvictionPolicy: AlwaysAllow for clusters with kubernetes version >= 1.26. (For v1.26 clusters (shoots and virtual-garden cluster), the featuregate PDBUnhealthyPodEvictionPolicy needs to be turned on in the kube-apiserver. From v1.27 this is enabled by default.) by @shafeeqes [#8969]
  • [DEVELOPER] Add local setup for dual-stack seeds. by @axel7born [#8983]
  • [DEVELOPER] Gardener can now support clusters with Kubernetes version 1.29. Extension developers have to prepare individual extensions as well to work with 1.29. by @acumino [#8976]

🐛 Bug Fixes
