v2.19.4 Armory Release (OSS Release 1.19.4)

Release notes for Armory Enterprise v2.19.4

04/15/20 Release Notes

Note: Do not upgrade to Armory 2.19.4 (this version). Instead, upgrade to Armory 2.19.7 or later.

Breaking Changes

Halyard

Armory 2.19.x requires Armory-extended Halyard 1.8.3 or later.

HTTP sessions for Gate

This version includes an upgrade to the Spring Boot dependency. This requires you to flush all the Gate sessions for your Spinnaker deployment. For more information, see Flushing Gate Sessions.

Known Issues

Dynamic Accounts for Kubernetes

Fixed in: 2.21

There is an issue with Dynamic Accounts for Kubernetes where the following issues occur:

  • Agents get removed but still run on schedule.
  • Force cache refresh times out.
  • If you have the clean up agent setup, your data randomly disappears and reappears.

These issues do not occur immediately, and you may even see modified accounts appear.

Service Accounts using Fiat

There is an issue creating or updating service accounts. This causes the pipeline permissions feature to not work.

Affected versions: Armory 2.19.6, 2.19.5, and 2.19.4.

Fixed versions: Armory 2.19.7 and later

Highlighted Updates

Armory

Highlighted Updates describe some of the major changes in this release. Highlights specific to Armory for this release include:

Policy Engine

Armory’s Policy Engine for the SDLC now also performs Runtime validation on Spinnaker pipelines. This means that when a pipeline runs, the Policy Engine evaluates the pipeline. This validation only operates on tasks that you have explicitly created policies for. For more information, see Policy Engine.

CVEs

Addressed a number of CVEs found within the Spinnaker services.

Spinnaker Community Contributions

The following highlights describe some of the major changes from the Spinnaker community for version 1.19.x, which is included in this release of Armory 2.19:

Scheduled Removal of Kubernetes V1 Provider The Kubernetes V1 provider will be removed in Spinnaker 1.21. Please see the RFC for more details.

Breaking change: Kubernetes accounts with an unspecified providerVersion will now default to V2. Update your Halconfig to specify providerVersion: v1 for any Kubernetes accounts you are currently using with the V1 provider.

Java 11

The migration to Java 11 continues. This should not affect Spinnaker users. If you extend Spinnaker, this change may affect you.

The Java 11 JRE runs Spinnaker when deployed to a Kubernetes cluster using Halyard (or if you consume the official containers in some other way). If this causes problems, or your organization isn’t ready to run Java 11 in production, you can specify deploymentEnvironment.imageVariant: JAVA8 (or UBUNTU_JAVA8) in your Halyard config. Please notify sig-platform@spinnaker.io if you run into issues and decide to downgrade.

All users need to switch to a Java 11 JRE by Spinnaker 1.21, which is scheduled to be released in early July. Please see the RFC for the full schedule and more details. We encourage everyone to start testing Spinnaker under a Java 11 JRE now in preparation for the cutover. If you have any concerns about the migration timeline, please reach out to sig-platform@spinnaker.io.

IAM service-linked roles for ECS

The ECS provider now requires IAM service-linked roles for use with ECS and Application Auto Scaling. Deployments to AWS accounts that do not already have service-linked roles for these AWS services may see failed deployments after upgrading to Spinnaker 1.19. To create the required service-linked roles, run the following:

aws iam create-service-linked-role --aws-service-name ecs.amazonaws.com
aws iam create-service-linked-role --aws-service-name ecs.application-autoscaling.amazonaws.com

Visit the ECS service-linked role documentation and the Application Auto Scaling service-linked role documentation for information on the permissions in these roles.

Changes to default settings for non-Halyard users

In order to make default settings consistent whether deploying using Halyard or manually, the following properties of Orca and Clouddriver have had their defaults changed. This change does not affect users who deploy using Halyard, as Halyard was already setting these properties to the new values.

  • Clouddriver
    • shutdown-wait-seconds, which sets the number of seconds Clouddriver waits for outstanding work to complete when shutting down, will now default to 600 seconds.
  • Orca
    • Orca will no longer consider the environment variable REDIS_URL when setting the connection to Redis.
    • The setting echo.enabled now defaults to true.
    • The bakery.extractBuildDetails setting now defaults to true.
