Kubernetes - v1.24.0

Security

Documentation

Changelog since v1.23.0

Major Themes

Dockershim Removed from kubelet

After its deprecation in v1.20, the dockershim component has been removed from the kubelet.
From v1.24 onwards, you will need to either use one of the other supported runtimes (such as containerd or CRI-O)
or use cri-dockerd if you are relying on Docker Engine as your container runtime.
For more information about ensuring your cluster is ready for this removal, please
see this guide.

Beta APIs Off by Default

New beta APIs will not be enabled in clusters by default.
Existing beta APIs and new versions of existing beta APIs, will continue to be enabled by default.

Signing Release Artifacts

Release artifacts are signed using cosign
signatures
and there is experimental support for verifying image signatures.
Signing and verification of release artifacts is part of increasing software supply chain security for the Kubernetes release process.

OpenAPI v3

Kubernetes 1.24 offers beta support for publishing its APIs in the OpenAPI v3 format.

Storage Capacity and Volume Expansion Are Generally Available

Storage capacity tracking
supports exposing currently available storage capacity via CSIStorageCapacity objects
and enhances scheduling of pods that use CSI volumes with late binding.

Volume expansion adds support
for resizing existing persistent volumes.

NonPreemptingPriority to Stable

This feature adds a new option to PriorityClasses,
which can enable or disable pod preemption.

Storage Plugin Migration

There is work under way to migrate the internals of in-tree storage plugins to call out to CSI Plugins,
while maintaining the original API.
The Azure Disk
and OpenStack Cinder plugins
have both been migrated.

gRPC Probes Graduate to Beta

With Kubernetes 1.24, the gRPC probes functionality
has entered beta and is available by default. You can now configure startup, liveness, and readiness probes for your gRPC app
natively within Kubernetes, without exposing an HTTP endpoint or
using an extra executable.

Kubelet Credential Provider Graduates to Beta

Originally released as Alpha in Kubernetes 1.20, the kubelet's support for
image credential providers
has now graduated to Beta.
This allows the kubelet to dynamically retrieve credentials for a container image registry
using exec plugins, rather than storing credentials on the node's filesystem.

Contextual Logging in Alpha

Kubernetes 1.24 has introduced contextual logging
that enables the caller of a function to control all aspects of logging (output formatting, verbosity, additional values and names).

Avoiding Collisions in IP allocation to Services

Kubernetes 1.24 introduced a new opt-in feature that allows you to
soft-reserve a range for static IP address assignments
to Services.
With the manual enablement of this feature, the cluster will prefer automatic assignment from
the pool of Service IP addresses thereby reducing the risk of collision.

A Service ClusterIP can be assigned:

  • dynamically, which means the cluster will automatically pick a free IP within the configured Service IP range.
  • statically, which means the user will set one IP within the configured Service IP range.

Service ClusterIP are unique, hence, trying to create a Service with a ClusterIP that has already been allocated will return an error.

Urgent Upgrade Notes

(No, really, you MUST read this before you upgrade)

  • Docker runtime support using dockershim in the kubelet is now completely removed in 1.24. The kubelet used to have a module called dockershim, which implements CRI support for Docker, and it has seen maintenance issues in the Kubernetes community. From 1.24 onwards, please move to a container runtime that is a full-fledged implementation of CRI (v1alpha1 or v1 compliant) as they become available. (#97252, @dims)
  • Fixed bug with leads to Node goes Not-ready state when credentials for vCenter stored in a secret and Zones feature is in use. Zone labels setup moved to KCM component, kubelet skips this step during startup in such case. If credentials stored in cloud-provider config file as plaintext current behaviour does not change and no action required. For proper functioning kube-system:vsphere-legacy-cloud-provider should be allowed to update node object if vCenter credentials stored in secret and Zone feature used. (#101028, @lobziik)
  • The LegacyServiceAccountTokenNoAutoGeneration feature gate is beta, and enabled by default. When enabled, Secret API objects containing service account tokens are no longer auto-generated for every ServiceAccount. Use the TokenRequest API to acquire service account tokens, or if a non-expiring token is required, create a Secret API object for the token controller to populate with a service account token by following this guide. (#108309, @zshihang)
  • The calculations for Pod topology spread skew now exclude nodes that
    don't match the node affinity/selector. This may lead to unschedulable pods if you previously had pods
    matching the spreading selector on those excluded nodes (not matching the node affinity/selector),
    especially when the topologyKey is not node-level. Revisit the node affinity and/or pod selector in the
    topology spread constraints to avoid this scenario. (#107009, @kerthcet)
  • Remove the deprecated flag --experimental-check-node-capabilities-before-mount. With CSI now GA, there is a better alternative. Remove any use of --experimental-check-node-capabilities-before-mount from your kubelet scripts or manifests. (#104732, @mengjiao-liu)
  • kubeadm.k8s.io/v1beta2 has been deprecated and will be removed in a future release, possibly in 3 releases (one year). You should start using kubeadm.k8s.io/v1beta3 for new clusters. To migrate your old configuration files on disk you can use the kubeadm config migrate command. (#107013, @pacoxu)
  • Kubeadm: default the kubeadm configuration to the containerd socket (Unix: unix:///var/run/containerd/containerd.sock, Windows: npipe:////./pipe/containerd-containerd) instead of the one for Docker. If the Init|JoinConfiguration.nodeRegistration.criSocket field is empty during cluster creation and multiple sockets are found on the host always throw an error and ask the user to specify which one to use by setting the value in the field. Make sure you update any kubeadm configuration files on disk, to not include the dockershim socket unless you are still using kubelet version < 1.24 with kubeadm >= 1.24. Remove the DockerValidor and ServiceCheck for the docker service from kubeadm preflight. Docker is no longer special cased during host validation and ideally this task should be done in the now external cri-dockerd project where the importance of the compatibility matters. Use crictl for all communication with CRI sockets for actions like pulling images and obtaining a list of running containers instead of using the docker CLI in the case of Docker. (#107317, @neolit123)
  • The feature gate was mentioned as csiMigrationRBD where it should have been CSIMigrationRBD to be in parity with other migration plugins. This release correct the same and keep it as CSIMigrationRBD.
    users who have configured this feature gate as csiMigrationRBD has to reconfigure the same to CSIMigrationRBD from this release. (#107554, @humblec)
  • The experimental dynamic log sanitization feature has been deprecated and removed in the 1.24 release. The feature is no longer available for use. (#107207, @ehashman)
  • Kubeadm: apply second stage of the plan to migrate kubeadm away from the usage of the word master in labels and taints. For new clusters, the label node-role.kubernetes.io/master will no longer be added to control plane nodes, only the label node-role.kubernetes.io/control-plane will be added. For clusters that are being upgraded to 1.24 with kubeadm upgrade apply, the command will remove the label node-role.kubernetes.io/master from existing control plane nodes. For new clusters, both the old taint node-role.kubernetes.io/master:NoSchedule and new taint node-role.kubernetes.io/control-plane:NoSchedule will be added to control plane nodes. In release 1.20 (first stage), a release note instructed to preemptively tolerate the new taint. For clusters that are being upgraded to 1.24 with kubeadm upgrade apply, the command will add the new taint node-role.kubernetes.io/control-plane:NoSchedule to existing control plane nodes. Please adapt your infrastructure to these changes. In 1.25 the old taint node-role.kubernetes.io/master:NoSchedule will be removed. (#107533, @neolit123)
  • The feature gate was mentioned as csiMigrationRBD where it should have been CSIMigrationRBD to be in parity with other migration plugins. This release correct the same and keep it as CSIMigrationRBD.
    users who have configured this feature gate as csiMigrationRBD has to reconfigure the same to CSIMigrationRBD from this release. (#107554, @humblec)

Changes by Kind

Deprecation

  • Deprecated Service.Spec.LoadBalancerIP. This field was under-specified and its meaning varies across implementations. As of Kubernetes v1.24, users are encouraged to use implementation-specific annotations when available. This field may be removed in a future API version. (#107235, @uablrek)
  • Kube-apiserver: the --master-count flag and --endpoint-reconciler-type=master-count reconciler are deprecated in favor of the lease reconciler (#108062, @aojea)
  • Kube-apiserver: the insecure address flags --address, --insecure-bind-address, --port and --insecure-port (inert since 1.20) are removed (#106859, @knight42)
  • Kubeadm: graduated the UnversionedKubeletConfigMap feature gate to Beta and enabled the feature by default. This implies that 1) for new clusters kubeadm will start using the kube-system/kubelet-config naming scheme for the kubelet ConfigMap and RBAC rules, instead of the legacy kubelet-config-x.yy naming. 2) during upgrade, kubeadm will only write the new scheme ConfigMap and RBAC objects. To disable the feature you can pass UnversionedKubeletConfigMap: false in the kubeadm config for new clusters. For upgrade on existing clusters you can also override the behavior by patching the ClusterConfiguration object in kube-system/kubeadm-config. More details in the associated KEP. (#108027, @neolit123)
  • Remove tolerate-unready-endpoints annotation in Service deprecated from 1.11, use Service.spec.publishNotReadyAddresses instead. (#108020, @tossmilestone)
  • Remove deprecated feature gates ValidateProxyRedirects and StreamingProxyRedirects (#106830, @pacoxu)
  • Remove insecure serving configuration from cloud-provider package, which is consumed by cloud-controller-managers. (#108953, @nckturner)
  • The --pod-infra-container-image kubelet flag is deprecated and will be removed in future releases (#108045, @hakman)
  • The client.authentication.k8s.io/v1alpha1 ExecCredential has been removed. If you are using a client-go credential plugin that relies on the v1alpha1 API please contact the distributor of your plugin for instructions on how to migrate to the v1 API. (#108616, @margocrawf)
  • The node.k8s.io/v1alpha1 RuntimeClass API is no longer served. Use the node.k8s.io/v1 API version, available since v1.20 (#103061, @SergeyKanzhelev)
  • The cluster addon for dashboard was removed. To install dashboard, see here. (#107481, @shu-mutou)
  • The in-tree Azure plugin has been deprecated. The Azure kubelogin plugin serves as an out-of-tree replacement via the kubectl/client-go credential plugin mechanism. Users will now see a warning in the logs regarding this deprecation. (#107904, @sabbey37)
  • The insecure address flags --address and --port in kube-controller-manager have had no effect since v1.20 and are removed in v1.24. (#106860, @knight42)
  • The metadata.clusterName field is deprecated. This field has always been unwritable and always blank, but its presence is confusing, so we will remove it next release. Out of an abundance of caution, this release we have merely changed the name in the go struct to ensure any accidental client uses are found before complete removal. (#108717, @lavalamp)
  • VSphere releases less than 7.0u2 are deprecated as of v1.24. Please consider upgrading vSphere to 7.0u2 or above. vSphere CSI Driver requires minimum vSphere 7.0u2.

General Support for vSphere 6.7 will end on October 15, 2022. vSphere 6.7 Update 3 is deprecated in Kubernetes v1.24. Customers are recommended to upgrade vSphere (both ESXi and vCenter) to 7.0u2 or above. vSphere CSI Driver 2.2.3 and higher supports CSI Migration.

Support for these deprecations will be available till October 15, 2022. (#109089, @deepakkinni)

API Change

  • Add 2 new options for kube-proxy running in winkernel mode. --forward-healthcheck-vip, if specified as true, health check traffic whose destination is service VIP will be forwarded to kube-proxy's healthcheck service. --root-hnsendpoint-name specifies the name of the hns endpoint for the root network namespace. This option enables the pass-through load balancers like Google's GCLB to correctly health check the backend services. Without this change, the health check packets is dropped, and Windows node will be considered to be unhealthy by those load balancers. (#99287, @anfernee)
  • Added CEL runtime cost calculation into CustomerResource validation. CustomerResource validation will fail if runtime cost exceeds the budget. (#108482, @cici37)
  • Added a new metric webhook_fail_open_count to monitor webhooks that fail to open. (#107171, @ltagliamonte-dd)
  • Adds a new Status subresource in Network Policy objects (#107963, @rikatz)
  • Adds support for InterfaceNamePrefix and BridgeInterface as arguments to --detect-local-mode option and also introduces a new optional --pod-interface-name-prefix and --pod-bridge-interface flags to kube-proxy. (#95400, @tssurya)
  • CEL CRD validation expressions may now reference existing object state using the identifier oldSelf. (#108073, @benluddy)
  • CRD deep copies should no longer contain shallow copies of JSONSchemaProps.XValidations. (#107956, @benluddy)
  • CRD writes will generate validation errors if a CEL validation rule references the identifier oldSelf on a part of the schema that does not support it. (#108013, @benluddy)
  • CSIStorageCapacity.storage.k8s.io: The v1beta1 version of this API is deprecated in favor of v1, and will be removed in v1.27. If a CSI driver supports storage capacity tracking, then it must get deployed with a release of external-provisioner that supports the v1 API. (#108445, @pohly)
  • Custom resource requests with fieldValidation=Strict consistently require apiVersion and kind, matching non-strict requests (#109019, @liggitt)
  • Feature of DefaultPodTopologySpread is graduated to GA (#108278, @kerthcet)
  • Feature of NonPreemptingPriority is graduated to GA (#107432, @denkensk)
  • Feature of PodOverhead is graduated to GA (#108441, @pacoxu)
  • Fixed OpenAPI serialization of the x-kubernetes-validations field (#107970, @liggitt)
  • Fixed failed flushing logs in defer function when kubelet cmd exit 1. (#104774, @kerthcet)
  • Fixes a regression in v1beta1 PodDisruptionBudget handling of strategic merge patch-type API requests for the selector field. Prior to 1.21, these requests would merge matchLabels content and replace matchExpressions content. In 1.21, patch requests touching the selector field started replacing the entire selector. This is consistent with server-side apply and the v1 PodDisruptionBudget behavior, but should not have been changed for v1beta1. (#108138, @liggitt)
  • Improve kubectl's user help commands readability (#104736, @lauchokyip)
  • Indexed Jobs graduated to stable. (#107395, @alculquicondor)
  • Introduce a v1alpha1 networking API for ClusterCIDRConfig (#108290, @sarveshr7)
  • Introduction of a new "sync_proxy_rules_no_local_endpoints_total" proxy metric. This metric represents the number of services with no internal endpoints. The "traffic_policy" label will contain both "internal" or "external". (#108930, @MaxRenaud)
  • JobReadyPods graduates to Beta and it's enabled by default. (#107476, @alculquicondor)
  • Kube-apiserver: --audit-log-version and --audit-webhook-version now only support the default value of audit.k8s.io/v1. The v1alpha1 and v1beta1 audit log versions, deprecated since 1.13, have been removed. (#108092, @carlory)
  • Kube-apiserver: the metadata.selfLink field can no longer be populated by kube-apiserver; it was deprecated in 1.16 and has not been populated by default since 1.20+. (#107527, @wojtek-t)
  • Kubelet external Credential Provider feature is moved to Beta. Credential Provider Plugin and Credential Provider Config API's updated from v1alpha1 to v1beta1 with no API changes. (#108847, @adisky)
  • Make STS available replicas optional again. (#109241, @ravisantoshgudimetla)
  • MaxUnavailable for StatefulSets, allows faster RollingUpdate by taking down more than 1 pod at a time. The number of pods you want to take down during a RollingUpdate is configurable using maxUnavailable parameter. (#82162, @krmayankk)
  • Non-graceful node shutdown handling is enabled for stateful workload failovers (#108486, @sonasingh46)
  • Omit enum declarations from the static openapi file captured at https://git.k8s.io/kubernetes/api/openapi-spec. This file is used to generate API clients, and use of enums in those generated clients (rather than strings) can break forward compatibility with additional future values in those fields. See https://issue.k8s.io/109177 for details. (#109178, @liggitt)
  • OpenAPI V3 is turned on by default (#109031, @Jefftree)
  • Pod affinity namespace selector and cross-namespace quota graduated to GA. The feature gate PodAffinityNamespaceSelector is locked and will be removed in 1.26. (#108136, @ahg-g)
  • Promote IdentifyPodOS feature to beta. (#107859, @ravisantoshgudimetla)
  • Remove a v1alpha1 networking API for ClusterCIDRConfig (#109436, @JamesLaverack)
  • Renamed metrics evictions_number to evictions_total and mark it as stable. The original evictions_number metrics name is marked as "Deprecated" and has been removed in kubernetes 1.23 . (#106366, @cyclinder)
  • Skip x-kubernetes-validations rules if having fundamental error against the OpenAPIv3 schema. (#108859, @cici37)
  • Support for gRPC probes is now in beta. GRPCContainerProbe feature gate is enabled by default. (#108522, @SergeyKanzhelev)
  • Suspend job to GA. The feature gate SuspendJob is locked and will be removed in 1.26. (#108129, @ahg-g)
  • The AnyVolumeDataSource feature is now beta, and the feature gate is enabled by default. In order to provide user feedback on PVCs with data sources, deployers must install the VolumePopulators CRD and the data-source-validator controller. (#108736, @bswartz)
  • The CertificateSigningRequest spec.expirationSeconds API field has graduated to GA. The CSRDuration feature gate for the field is now unconditionally enabled and will be removed in 1.26. (#108782, @cfryanr)
  • The ServerSideFieldValidation feature has graduated to beta and is now enabled by default. Kubectl 1.24 and newer will use server-side validation instead of client-side validation when writing to API servers with the feature enabled. (#108889, @kevindelgado)
  • The ServiceLBNodePortControl feature has graduated to GA. The feature gate will be removed in 1.26. (#107027, @uablrek)
  • The deprecated kube-controller-manager flag '--deployment-controller-sync-period' has been removed, it is not used by the deployment controller. (#107178, @SataQiu)
  • The feature DynamicKubeletConfig has been removed from the kubelet. (#106932, @SergeyKanzhelev)
  • The infrastructure for contextual logging is complete (feature gate implemented, JSON backend ready). (#108995, @pohly)
  • This adds an optional timeZone field as part of the CronJob spec to support running cron jobs in a specific time zone. (#108032, @deejross)
  • Updated the default API priority-and-fairness config to avoid endpoint/configmaps operations from controller-manager to all match leader-election priority level. (#106725, @wojtek-t)
  • topologySpreadConstraints includes minDomains field to limit the minimum number of topology domains. (#107674, @sanposhiho)

Feature

  • A new Priority and Fairness metric 'apiserver_flowcontrol_work_estimate_seats_samples' has been added that tracks the estimated seats associated with a request. (#106628, @tkashem)
  • Add a deprecated cmd flag for the time interval between flushing pods from unschedulable queue to active queue or backoff queue. (#108017, @denkensk)
  • Add one metrics(kubelet_volume_stats_health_abnormal) of volume health state to kubelet (#105585, @fengzixu)
  • Add the metric container_oom_events_total to kubelet's cAdvisor metric endpoint. (#108004, @jonkerj)
  • Added SetTransform to SharedInformer to allow users to transform objects before they are stored. (#107507, @alexzielenski)
  • Added a proxy-url flag into kubectl config set-cluster. (#105566, @ardaguclu)
  • Added a metric for measuring end-to-end volume mount timing. (#107006, @gnufied)
  • Added a new Priority and Fairness metric apiserver_flowcontrol_request_dispatch_no_accommodation_total to track the number of times a request dispatch attempt results in a no-accommodation status due to lack of available seats. (#106629, @tkashem)
  • Added a path /header?key= to agnhost netexec allowing one to view what the header value is of the incoming request.

Ex:

$ curl -H "X-Forwarded-For: something" 172.17.0.2:8080/header?key=X-Forwarded-For something (#107796, @alexanderConstantinescu)
- Added completion for kubectl config set-context. (#106739, @kebe7jun)
- Added field add_ambient_capabilities to the Capabilities message in the CRI-API. (#104620, @vinayakankugoyal)
- Added label selector flag to all kubectl rollout commands. (#99758, @aramperes)
- Added more message for no PodSandbox container. (#107116, @yxxhero)
- Added prune flag into diff command to simulate apply --prune. (#105164, @ardaguclu)
- Added support for btrfs resizing (#108561, @RomanBednar)
- Added support for kubectl commands (kubectl exec and kubectl port-forward) via a SOCKS5 proxy. (#105632, @xens)
- Adds OpenAPIV3SchemaInterface to DiscoveryClient and its variants for fetching OpenAPI v3 schema documents. (#108992, @alexzielenski)
- Allow kubectl to manage resources by filename patterns without the shell expanding it first (#102265, @danielrodriguez)
- An alpha flag --subresource is added to get, patch, edit replace kubectl commands to fetch and update status and scale subresources. (#99556, @nikhita)
- Apiextensions_openapi_v3_regeneration_count metric (alpha) will be emitted for OpenAPI V3. (#109128, @Jefftree)
- Apply ProxyTerminatingEndpoints to all traffic policies (external, internal, cluster, local). (#108691, @andrewsykim)
- CEL regex patterns in x-kubernetes-valiation rules are compiled when CRDs are created/updated if the pattern is provided as a string constant in the expression. Any regex compile errors are reported as a CRD create/update validation error. (#108617, @jpbetz)
- CRD x-kubernetes-validations rules now support the CEL functions: isSorted, sum, min, max, indexOf, lastIndexOf, find and findAll. (#108312, @jpbetz)
- Changes the kubectl --validate flag from a bool to a string that accepts the values {true, strict, warn, false, ignore}
- true/strict - perform validation and error the request on any invalid fields in the ojbect. It will attempt to perform server-side validation if it is enabled on the apiserver, otherwise it will fall back to client-side validation.
- warn - perform server-side validation and warn on any invalid fields (but ultimately let the request succeed by dropping any invalid fields from the object). If validation is not available on the server, perform no validation.
- false/ignore - perform no validation, silently dropping invalid fields from the object. (#108350, @kevindelgado)
- Client-go metrics: change bucket distribution for rest_client_request_duration_seconds and rest_client_rate_limiter_duration_seconds from [0.001, 0.002, 0.004, 0.008, 0.016, 0.032, 0.064, 0.128, 0.256, 0.512] to [0.005, 0.025, 0.1, 0.25, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 4.0, 8.0, 15.0, 30.0, 60.0}] (#106911, @aojea)
- Client-go: add new histogram metric to record the size of the requests and responses. (#108296, @aojea)
- CycleState is now optimized for "write once and read many times". (#108724, @sanposhiho)
- Enabled beta feature HonorPVReclaimPolicy by default. (#109035, @deepakkinni)
- Env var for additional cli flags used in the csi-proxy binary when a Windows nodepool is created with kube-up.sh (#107806, @mauriciopoppe)
- Feature of PreferNominatedNode is graduated to GA. (#106619, @chendave)
- In text format, log messages that previously used quoting to prevent multi-line output (for example, text="some \"quotation\", a\nline break") will now be printed with more readable multi-line output without the escape sequences. (#107103, @pohly)
- Increase default value of discovery cache TTL for kubectl to 6 hours. (#107141, @mk46)
- Introduce policy to allow the HPA to consume the external.metrics.k8s.io API group. (#104244, @dgrisonnet)
- Kube-apiserver: Subresources such as status and scale now support tabular output content types. (#103516, @ykakarap)
- Kube-apiserver: when merging lists, Server Side Apply now prefers the order of the submitted request instead of the existing persisted object. (#107565, @jiahuif)
- Kubeadm: added support for dry running kubeadm reset. The new flag kubeadm reset --dry-run is similar to the existing flag for kubeadm init/join/upgrade and allows you to see what changes would be applied. (#107512, @SataQiu)
- Kubeadm: added the flag --experimental-initial-corrupt-check to etcd static Pod manifests to ensure etcd member data consistency (#109074, @neolit123)
- Kubeadm: better surface errors during kubeadm upgrade when waiting for the kubelet to restart static pods on control plane nodes (#108315, @Monokaix)
- Kubeadm: improve the strict parsing of user YAML/JSON configuration files. Next to printing warnings for unknown and duplicate fields (current state), also print warnings for fields with incorrect case sensitivity - e.g. controlPlaneEndpoint (valid), ControlPlaneEndpoint (invalid). Instead of only printing warnings during init and join also print warnings when downloading the ClusterConfiguration, KubeletConfiguration or KubeProxyConfiguration objects from the cluster. This can be useful if the user has patched these objects in their respective ConfigMaps with mistakes. (#107725, @neolit123)
- Kubectl now supports shell completion for the / format for specifying resources.
kubectl now provides shell completion for container names following the --container/-c flag of the exec command.
kubectl's shell completion now suggests resource types for commands that only apply to pods. (#108493, @marckhouzam)
- Kubelet: add kubelet_volume_metric_collection_duration_seconds metrics for volume disk usage calculation duration (#107201, @pacoxu)
- Kubelet: the following dockershim related flags are also removed along with dockershim --experimental-dockershim-root-directory, --docker-endpoint, --image-pull-progress-deadline, --network-plugin, --cni-conf-dir, --cni-bin-dir, --cni-cache-dir, --network-plugin-mtu. (#106907, @cyclinder)
- Kubernetes 1.24 bumped version of golang it is compiled with to go1.18, which introduced significant changes to its garbage collection algorithm. As a result, we observed an increase in memory usage for kube-apiserver in larger an heavily loaded clusters up to ~25% (with the benefit of API call latencies drop by up to 10x on 99th percentiles). If the memory increase is not acceptable for you you can mitigate by setting GOGC env variable (for our tests using GOGC=63 brings memory usage back to original value, although the exact value may depend on usage patterns on your cluster). (#108870, @dims)
- Kubernetes 1.24 is built with go1.18, which will no longer validate certificates signed with a SHA-1 hash algorithm by default. See https://golang.org/doc/go1.18#sha1 for more details. If you are using certificates like this in admission or conversion (#109024, @stlaz)
- Kubernetes in now built with go1.18rc1 (#107105, @justaugustus)

  • Fixed a bug that a pod's .status.nominatedNodeName is not cleared properly, and thus over-occupied system resources. (#106816, @Huang-Wei)
  • Fixed a bug that caused credentials in an exec plugin to override the static certificates set in a kubeconfig. (#107410, @margocrawf)

  • Fixed a rare race condition handling requests that timeout. (#107452, @liggitt)
  • Fixed a regression in 1.23 that incorrectly pruned data from array items of a custom resource that set x-kubernetes-preserve-unknown-fields: true. (#107688, @liggitt)
  • Fixed a regression in 1.23 where update requests to previously persisted Service objects that have not been modified since 1.19 can be rejected with an incorrect spec.clusterIPs: Required value error. (#107847, @thockin)
  • Fixed a regression that could incorrectly reject pods with OutOfCpu errors if they were rapidly scheduled after other pods were reported as complete in the API. The Kubelet now waits to report the phase of a pod as terminal in the API until all running containers are guaranteed to have stopped and no new containers can be started. Short-lived pods may take slightly longer (~1s) to report Succeeded or Failed after this change. (#108366, @smarterclayton)

  • Kube-apiserver: ensures the namespace of objects sent to admission webhooks matches the request namespace. Previously, objects without a namespace set would have the request namespace populated after mutating admission, and objects with a namespace that did not match the request namespace would be rejected after admission. (#94637, @liggitt)
  • Kube-apiserver: removed apf_fd from server logs which could contain data identifying the requesting user (#108631, @jupblb)
  • Kube-proxy in iptables mode now only logs the full iptables input at -v=9 rather than -v=5. (#108224, @danwinship)
  • Kube-proxy will no longer hold service node ports open on the node. Users are still advised not to run any listener on node ports range used by kube-proxy. (#108496, @khenidak)
  • Kubeadm: allow the certs check-expiration command to not require the existence of the cluster CA key (ca.key file) when checking the expiration of managed certificates in kubeconfig files. (#106854, @neolit123)
  • Kubeadm: during execution of the certs check-expiration command, treat the etcd CA as external if there is a missing etcd CA key file (etcd/ca.key) and perform the proper validation on certificates signed by the etcd CA. Additionally, make sure that the CA for all entries in the output table is included - for both certificates on disk and in kubeconfig files. (#106891, @neolit123)
  • Kubeadm: fixed a bug related to a warning printed if the KubeletConfiguration resolvConf field value does not match /run/systemd/resolve/resolv.conf (#107785, @chendave)

  • Kubelet now checks "NoExecute" taint/toleration before accepting pods, except for static pods. (#101218, @gjkim42)
  • Metrics Server image bumped to v0.5.2 (#106492, @serathius)
  • Modified command line errors (for example, kubectl list -> unknown command) that were printed as log message with escaped line breaks instead of a multi-line plain text, making the error hard to read. (#107044, @pohly)
  • Modified log messages that were logged with "v":0 in JSON output although they were debug messages with a higher verbosity. (#106978, @pohly)

  • Removed validation if AppArmor profiles are loaded on the local node. This should be handled by the container runtime. (#97966, @saschagrunert)
  • Replace the url label of rest_client_request_duration_seconds and rest_client_rate_limiter_duration_seconds metrics with a host label to prevent cardinality explosions and keep only the useful information. This is a breaking change required for security reasons. (#106539, @dgrisonnet)
  • Restored NumPDBViolations info of nodes, when HTTPExtender ProcessPreemption. This info will be used in subsequent filtering steps - pickOneNodeForPreemption (#105853, @caden2016)
  • Reverted graceful node shutdown to match 1.21 behavior of setting pods that have not yet successfully completed to "Failed" phase if the GracefulNodeShutdown feature is enabled in kubelet. The GracefulNodeShutdown feature is beta and must be explicitly configured via kubelet config to be enabled in 1.21+. This changes 1.22 and 1.23 behavior on node shutdown to match 1.21. If you do not want pods to be marked terminated on node shutdown in 1.22 and 1.23, disable the GracefulNodeShutdown feature. (#106901, @bobbypage)
  • Reverts the CRI API version surfaced by dockershim to v1alpha2 (#106803, @saschagrunert)
  • Services with "internalTrafficPolicy: Local" now behave more like

  • Skip re-allocate logic if pod is already removed to avoid panic (#108831, @waynepeking348)
  • The Service field spec.internalTrafficPolicy is no longer defaulted for Services when the type is ExternalName. The field is also dropped on read when the Service type is ExternalName. (#104846, @andrewsykim)
  • The ServerSideFieldValidation feature has been reverted to alpha for 1.24. (#109271, @liggitt)
  • The TopologyAwareHints feature gate is now enabled by default. This will allow users to opt-in to Topology Aware Hints by setting the service.kubernetes.io/topology-aware-hints on a Service. This will not affect any Services without that annotation set. (#108747, @robscott)
  • The deprecated flag --really-crash-for-testing was removed. (#101719, @SergeyKanzhelev)
  • The kubelet no longer forcefully closes active connections on heartbeat failures, using the HTTP2 health check mechanism to detect broken connections. Users can force the previous behavior of the kubelet by setting the environment variable DISABLE_HTTP2. (#108107, @aojea)
  • This code change fixes the bug that UDP services would trigger unnecessary LoadBalancer updates. The root cause is that a field not working for non-TCP protocols is considered.

  • Added an e2e test to verify that the cluster is not vulnerable to CVE-2021-29923 when using Services with IPs with leading zeros, note that this test is a necessary but not sufficient condition, all the components in the clusters that consume IPs addresses from the APIs MUST interpret them as decimal or discard them. (#107552, @aojea)

  • Kubeadm: all warning messages are printed to stderr instead of stdout. (#107467, @SataQiu)
  • Kubeadm: handled the removal of dockershim related flags for new kubeadm clusters. If kubelet <1.24 is on the host, kubeadm >=1.24 can continue using the built-in dockershim in the kubelet if the user passes the {Init|Join}Configuration.nodeRegistration.criSocket value in the kubeadm configuration to be equal to unix:///var/run/dockershim.sock on Unix or npipe:////./pipe/dockershim on Windows. If kubelet version >=1.24 is on the host, kubeadm >=1.24 will treat all container runtimes as "remote" using the kubelet flags --container-runtime=remote --container-runtime-endpoint=scheme://some/path. The special management for kubelet <1.24 will be removed in kubeadm 1.25. (#106973, @neolit123)
  • Kubeadm: make sure that kubeadm init/join always use a URL scheme (unix:// on Linux and npipe:// on Windows) when passing a value to the --container-runtime-endpoint kubelet flag. This flag's value is taken from the kubeadm configuration criSocket field or the --cri-socket CLI flag. Automatically add a missing URL scheme to the user configuration in memory, but warn them that they should also update their configuration on disk manually. During kubeadm upgrade apply/node mutate the /var/lib/kubelet/kubeadm-flags.env file on disk and the kubeadm.alpha.kubernetes.io/cri-socket annotation Node object if needed. These automatic actions are temporary and will be removed in a future release. In the future the kubelet may not support CRI endpoints without an URL scheme. (#107295, @neolit123)
