Highlights​

Improvements to Pipelines UI​

Our Pipelines view is getting an overhaul as part of fundamental changes to make this feature simpler to use and more powerful. In this release, we’ve made the current app version prompt clearer about what it is showing. We’ve added summary boxes to environments in order to show how many targets have successfully updated. We’ve made it easier to find information about the promotion strategy used in an environment, so that users can better understand what's happening in that environment. Lastly, we better display the promotion strategy used in an environment.

New feature​

You can now disconnect GitopsClusters which involves removing the resources that were added when connecting them.

The command mirrors the gitops connect cluster command in functionality.

Instructions are available in the CLI:

gitops disconnect cluster --help

⚠ Breaking Changes​

Explorer Configuration​

We have changed the way the explorer feature is enabled. It is now possible to enable or disable explorer on different parts of the application. Previously, there was a global toggle set in the Helm Chart values called enableExplorer. This flag has been replaced by two keys: explorer.enabled and explorer.enabledFor:

explorer:
  enabled: true # global enable/disable flag
  # ...
  enabledFor: # list of components that can be enabled or disabled
    - applications
    - sources
    - gitopssets
    - templates

Adding or removing items from this list will control which parts of the UI utilize the explorer backend.

The current values that are supported for this key:

    - applications
    - sources
    - gitopssets
    - templates

See this section of the docs for more info: https://docs.gitops.weave.works/docs/explorer/getting-started/

Monitoring Configuration​

We have updated configuration values embedding metrics under monitoring. In case you have disabled metrics in your helm release values previously by setting:

metrics:
  enabled: false

You should update it to have he same behavior

monitoring:
  enabled: false

Please review monitoring for more info.

Workspace UI​

  • Weave GitOps now provides a GUI for Workspaces.

Enhanced Terraform Table in UI​

  • Weave GitOps now provides more details on the Terraform inventory GUI page. Adding the type and identifier fields to the inventory table, plus filtering and a 'no data' message.

Keyboard shortcuts for "port forwards" on GitOps Run​

  • Weave GitOps now building and printing a list of set up port forwards.
  • Weave GitOps now opening the selected port forward URL on key press. Listening for keypress is performed with the github.com/mattn/go-tty package (other options required pressing Enter after a keypress, this catches just a single numeric keypress) and opening URLs with the github.com/pkg/browser package.

v0.12.0​

2022-12-09

Highlights​

We highly recommend users of v0.11.0 upgrade to this version as it includes fixes for a number of UI issues.

GitOps Templates​

  • Support to specify Helm charts inside the CRD, instead of annotations. We’ve provided documentation which has a example.
spec:
  charts:
    items:
      - chart: cert-manager
        version: v1.5.3
        editable: false
        required: true
        values:
          installCRDs: ${CERT_MANAGER_INSTALL_CRDS}
        targetNamespace: cert-manager
        layer: layer-1
        template:
          content:
            metadata:
              labels:
                app.kubernetes.io/name: cert-manager
            spec:
              retries: ${CERT_MANAGER_RETRY_COUNT}
  • Ability to edit all fields now, including name/namespace

Authentication with OIDC support​

Supporting custom OIDC groups claims for azure/okta integration Support for OIDC custom username and group claims:

config
  oidc:
    claimUsername: ""
    claimGroups: ""

Policy commit-time agent​

  • Support Azure DevOps and auto-remediation in commit-time enforcement.

Admin User- simpler RBAC​

  • Weave GitOps default admin user can now “read” all objects. Why is this important? As users are trying out Weave GitOps they will most likely try it out with some of their favorite Cloud Native tools such as Crossplane, Tekton, Istio, etc. This enables them to see all of those resources and explore the full power of Weave GitOps. We still do not recommend this user for “production-use” cases, and customers should always be pushed towards implementing OIDC with scoped roles.

Pipelines - adding Pipelines through Templates​

  • From the Pipelines view you can add new Pipelines in a way which leverages GitOpsTemplates, additionally - to help users configure these, we’ve provided documentation which has some samples.

Support for multiple Flux instances on a single cluster​

  • Support for running multiple flux instances in different namespaces on a single cluster for resource isolation.

Minor fixes​

Terraform CRD Error Users of the Terraform Controller will be pleased to know we’ve addressed the issue where an error would be displayed if it had not been installed on all connected clusters.

Management cluster renaming If the name of the cluster where Weave GitOps Enterprise is installed, was changed from the default of management through the config.cluster.name parameter, certain workflows could fail such as fetching profiles, this has now been resolved.

v0.11.0​

2022-11-25

Highlights​

GitOpsTemplates​

  • We are working towards unifying CAPI and GitOps Templates under a single umbrella. For those already using CAPITemplates, we will ensure a smooth transition is possible by making use of a conversion hooks. There are some breaking changes for GitOpsTemplates as part of this transitionary period, so be sure to check the guidance under Breaking Changes.
  • We now retain the ordering of parameters in the template instead of sorting them alphabetically. Providing to the author control in what sequence the parameters are rendered in the form and thus present a more logically grouped set of parameters to the end consumer.
  • You can control what delimiters you want to use in a template. This provides flexibility for if you want to use the syntax for dynamic functions like the helper functions we support.

Pipelines​

  • This feature is now enabled by default when you install the Weave GitOps Enterprise Helm Chart. You can toggle this with the enablePipelines flag.
  • GitOpsTemplates are a highly flexible way to create new resources - including Pipelines. We now provide a shortcut on the Pipelines table view to navigate you to Templates with the weave.works/template-type=pipeline label.

Telemetry​

This release incorporates anonymous aggregate user behavior analytics to help us continuously improve the product. As an Enterprise customer, this is enabled by default. You can learn more about this here.

Dependency versions​

  • weave-gitops v0.11.0
  • cluster-controller v1.4.1
  • cluster-bootstrap-controller v0.3.0
  • (optional) pipeline-controller v0.0.11
  • (optional) policy-agent 2.1.1

Breaking changes​

GitOpsTemplates and CAPITemplates​

We are making these changes to provide a unified and intuitive self-service experience within Weave GitOps Enterprise, removing misleading and potentially confusing terminology born from when only Clusters were backed by Templates.

New API Group for the GitOpsTemplate CRD

  • old: clustertemplates.weave.works
  • new: templates.weave.works

After upgrading Weave GitOps Enterprise which includes the updated CRD:

  1. Update all your GitOpsTemplates in Git changing all occurrences of apiVersion: clustertemplates.weave.works/v1alpha1 to apiVersion: templates.weave.works/v1alpha1.
  2. Commit, push and reconcile. They should now be viewable in the Templates view again.
  3. Clean up the old CRD. As it stands:
    • kubectl get gitopstemplate -A will be empty as it is pointing to the old clustertemplates.weave.works CRD.
    • kubectl get gitopstemplate.templates.weave.works -A will work To fix the former of the commands, remove the old CRD (helm does not do this automatically for safety reasons):
    • kubectl delete crd gitopstemplates.clustertemplates.weave.works
    • You may have to wait up to 5 minutes for your local kubectl CRD cache to invalidate, then kubectl get gitopstemplate -A should be working as usual

Template Profiles / Applications / Credentials sections are hidden by default

For both CAPITemplates and GitopsTemplates the default visibility for all sections in a template has been set to "false". To re-enable profiles or applications on a template you can tweak the annotations

annotations:
  templates.weave.works/profiles-enabled: "true" # enable profiles
  templates.weave.works/kustomizations-enabled: "true" # enable applications
  templates.weave.works/credentials-enabled: "true" # enable CAPI credentials

The default values for a profile are not fetched and included in a pull-request

Prior to this release WGE would fetch the default values.yaml for every profile installed and include them in the HelmReleases in the Pull Request when rendering out the profiles of a template.

This was an expensive operation and occasionally led to timeouts.

The new behaviour is to omit the values and fall back to the defaults included in the helm-chart. This sacrifices some UX (being able to see all the defaults in the PR and tweak them) to improve performance. There should not be any final behaviour changes to the installed charts.

You can still view and tweak the values.yaml when selecting profiles to include on the "Create resource (cluster)" page. If changes are made here the updated values.yaml will be included.
