Release Notes for KubeSlice OSS 0.3.0

Release Date 12th September 2022

KubeSlice is a cloud-independent platform that combines network, application, Kubernetes, and deployment services in a framework to accelerate application deployment in a multi-cluster and multi-tenant environment. KubeSlice achieves this by creating logical application slice boundaries which allow pods and services to communicate seamlessly across clusters, clouds, edges, and data centres.

We continue to add new features and enhancements to KubeSlice.

What's New

These release notes describe the new changes and enhancements in this version.

Standard QoS Profile

KubeSlice supports a standard QoS profile configuration in a separate YAML file. This QoS profile must be applied and called out as a standard QoS profile in a slice configuration. This is useful when you want to configure the same QoS profile on multiple slices. For more information, see creating a standard QoS profile.

Bug Fixes

• The issue where the QoS traffic on a worker cluster did not work due to an incorrect node port while passing conContext to the NetOp pod is fixed. The issue has also occurred because the master node's node IP address was configured on the worker cluster. You must always configure the node IP address of the worker cluster's gateway node while installing the Slice Operator on the worker cluster.

• The issue where an exponential increase of goroutine threads in the Gateway Sidecar component caused abrupt CPU utilization is fixed. The fix reduces the CPU utilization by around 500 percent.

Supported Kubernetes Services

This version of KubeSlice has been tested on Azure Kubernetes Service and Google Kubernetes Engine, and KIND Kubernetes clusters.

The supported Kubernetes versions for cloud clusters are 1.20, 1.21, and 1.22.

The supported Kubernetes versions for KIND clusters are 1.21 and 1.22.
