Sonarqube Release Information💣

This release comes with a new version of Sonarqube which requires a manual database upgrade that can be easily done through the web interface. If you see a message stating Sonarqube is under maintenance go to the following url and click update database:

https://sonarqube.your.url/setup

After a few minutes you should be able to log back in.

Known Issues💣

If the following error is seen on any helm releases scheme "" not supported try updating flux to latest ib images. A simple way to do this is by adding registry credentials to the flux-system namespace and applying the flux.yaml:

kubectl create -n flux-system secret docker-registry private-registry --docker-server="https://registry1.dso.mil" --docker-username='<IB_Username>' --docker-password="<CLI_TOKEN>"
kubectl apply -f scripts/deploy/flux.yaml

[1.6.2]💣

  • !455: gatekeeper values not hardcoded

[1.6.1]💣

  • #19: istio-cni image hub reverted to dsop.io domain
  • #387: Latest Fluent-Bit release removed Grafana Dashboard Functionality

[1.6.0]💣

Upgrade Notice💣

This update includes several major changes to istio. Kiali and Jaeger are now separated into their own repos, helmreleases, and namespaces.

A manual cleanup task is required to delete the previous Kiali and Jaeger deployments post upgrade:

kubectl delete deploy -n istio-system -l app=kiali
kubectl delete deploy -n istio-system -l app=jaeger

Known Issues💣

This update includes an update to the Anchore chart. There is a known issue with running this version (and some previous versions) on FIPS enabled nodes. All Anchore services continue to function properly on non-FIPS nodes. Once an upstream fix is pushed, we will update the BB version accordingly.

Anchore’s default resource requests/limits (specifically for memory for the RBAC Manager) may be problematic depending on the customer and usage. Currently Big Bang consumes the defaults from the upstream chart, but Anchore also provides a list of requirements that address best practices for configuration for production workloads. These recommendations can be used as BB value overrides to specify resource limits and requests (example: RBAC Manager).

  • !436: Resolve “fluentbit requires modification to work when selinux: Enforcing”
  • !416: Fix Minio SecurityContext for Mattermost
  • !385: update anchore to 1.12.7-bb.2
  • !330: upgrade to istio 1.8.4, split jaeger and kiali into separate deployments
  • !427: IronBank image for Cluster Auditor
  • !428: feat: Bumping eck-operator to 1.4.0-bb.1
  • !421: Resolve “Upgrade eck-operator to 1.4.0”
  • !405: Upgrade OPA Gatekeeper
  • !443: Resolve “Fluentbit upgrade to application version 1.7.4”
  • !442: Resolve “feat: Update authservice to use latest IB image and templating”
  • !432: feat: ek package to 0.1.8-bb.0 for pod lifecycle support
  • !418: Minio VS update

There are additional minor changes and documentation updates that are included with this release. Full changes can always be seen by viewing the commit logs and completed MRs.

[1.5.0]💣

Upgrade Notice💣

This update includes several additions to fluent-bit which are recommended for production environments to increase reliability of log ingestion to the ECK stack.

This is mainly accomplished within fluent-bit by introducing a filesystem storage buffer interacting with a new hostPath volume in fluent-bit containers. By default, this is mounted to nodes at /var/log/flb-storage/, however it can be updated in the package’s values in 3 places:

storage_buffer:
  path: /var/log/flb-storage/

extraVolumes:
  - hostPath:
      path: /var/log/flb-storage/
      type: DirectoryOrCreate
    name: flb-storage

extraVolumeMounts:
  - mountPath: /var/log/flb-storage/
    name: flb-storage
  • !386: Updated Fluentbit to 1.7.2 which fixes #335.
  • !356: Enabled flux monitoring via Prometheus/Grafana in Monitoring package.
  • !380: Fixed eckoperator.enabled conditional.
  • Added and Documented Affinity support.
  • !379 Twistlock
  • !393 Cluster Auditor

[1.4.0]💣

Upgrade Notice💣

This update includes updated EnvoyFilters for authservice to fix #65 and is a component of a future upgrade to istio 1.8 (#191).

After upgrading BigBang to this version, you must follow the steps below to ensure apps protected by authservice are still protected.

In order to ensure sso for all services protected by authservice remain functional (kiali, jaeger, prometheus, and alertmanager), the istio-proxy sidecar attached to the haproxy infront of the services must be updated to 1.7.7.

The easiest way to do this is to cycle the pod:

kubectl delete po -n authservice -l app.kubernetes.io/instance=authservice-haproxy-sso

Note: these 4 services (kiali, jaeger, prometheus, and alertmanager) will be unavailable for ~10s while the pod cycles. In the future we aim to provide an HA implementation of authservice’s haproxy so the above operations can happen without downtime.

In addition, Big Bang Pre-requisites has been added as a location to store all (known) pre-requisites for running BigBang on various distributions. Over time, more distributions will be added as they are tested, community (and vendor) contributions are welcomed!
