[VannTen]

Container-Managers

• [containerd] Fix invalid version check in containerd jinja-template config (fix: invalid version check in containerd jinja-template config #10620, @khanhngobackend)

API Change

• Make kubernetes 1.27.8 the default version ([2.23] kubernetes: hashes for 1.27.8, 1.26.11, default to 1.27.8 #10706, @VannTen)

Feature

• Don't fail on 304 Not Modified for an already downloaded file ([download] Don't fail on 304 Not Modified #10452, @sathieu)
• Update kubernetes default version to 1.27.9
  Update etcd version for 1.27 and 1.26 to 3.5.10 ([2.23] Update k8s and etcd hashes + default to latest patch version #10797, @VannTen)

Failing Test

Bug or Regression

• Fix calico-node in etcd mode. ([2.23] Fix calico-node in etcd mode #10768, @VannTen)
• Fix download retry when get_url has no status_code (Fix download retry when get_url has no status_code. #10613, @RomainMou)
• Kube-controller-manager will no longer assign pod CIDRs to cluster nodes when using calico (with its default IPAM, calico_ipam_host_local now has a default value of false) [⚠️ NOTE users using a non-true value for calico_ipam_host_local will need to change it to true] (Disable podCIDR allocation from control-plane when using calico #10639, @VannTen)

Other (Cleanup or Flake)

• Kubespray collection will have the correct collection version. ([2.23] Bump galaxy.yml to next expected version #10728, @VannTen)

---

I think we require before cutting the release:

• [2.23] Fix download retry when get_url has no status_code. (#10613) #10791
• [2.23] Update k8s and etcd hashes + default to latest patch version #10797

Other than that, I'd cut the release ASAP, given #10436 is pretty egregious.

@yankay mind handling this one as well ?

Hello @VannTen

If you plan to release this soon we could add 1.27.9 and 1.26.12. Also etcd got promoted to 3.5.10 in the respective branches for those kubernetes versions. If you're not releasing this soon. Might be that after a week 1.27.10 and 1.26.13 is out.

Good idea 👍 . I think we should release it pretty soon given the bugfix on calico-node included @yankay @floryut opinions ?

[VannTen]

@mzaian do you want to add the new versions, once that's done and the other PR is merged we can release that.
