The main themes of this release are:
Metal3 Provisioning script: Metal3 IPMI provisioning script and de-provisioning script for baremetal and virtual deployment with IPMI LAN protocol support
Binary Provisioning agent (BPA) Operator:
- BPA operator provisions a K8s cluster in baremetal and virtual deployment with Metal3. BPA uses the Metal3 information.
- BPA operator provisions a nested K8s cluster (K8s cluster inside a VM maintained by K8s). BPA manages K8s based VM under cloud.
Binary Provisioning agent (BPA) Rest API controller: BPA Rest API controller runs as K8s service in the bootstrap cluster. It allows the user to upstream software, container images and OS images.
Cluster API: The Binary Provisioning Agent (BPA) and Kubernetes Deploment (KuD) components have been replaced by Cluster API.
Flux: Declarative day-0 configuration of K8s clusters is provided via Flux version 2. Day-2 configuration is provided with Flux's GitOps workflows.
Redfish virtual media: It is now possible and preferred to provision bare metal with Redfish virtual media. This allows DHCP-less provisioning and provides a more secure alternative to IPMI based provisioning.Kubernetes Deployment (KUD): KUD is the multi-cluster installer having 3 installation provision types to install K8s multi-cluster in baremetal, VM and containerized solution. KUD is part of multicloud-k8s project in ONAP. KUD is released with multiple components as follows:
