v2.26.2 Armory Enterprise Release (Spinnaker™ v1.26.6)

Release notes for Armory Enterprise v2.26.2

2021/09/03 Release Notes

Note: If you’re experiencing production issues after upgrading Spinnaker, rollback to a previous working version and please report issues to http://go.armory.io/support.

Required Halyard or Operator version

To install, upgrade, or configure Armory 2.26.2, use one of the following tools:

Armory-extended Halyard 1.12 or later
- 2.26.x is the last minor release that you can use Halyard to install or manage. Future releases require the Armory Operator. For more information, see Halyard Deprecation.
Armory Operator 1.2.6 or later

For information about upgrading, Operator, see Upgrade the Operator.

Security

Armory scans the codebase as we develop and release software. For information about CVE scans for this release, see the Support Portal. Note that you must be logged in to the portal to see the information.

Breaking changes

Known issues

Bake failures

The Packer version included with Rosco disregards package overrides that use the -var-file= option. This may cause bakes to fail.

Affected versions: 2.22.2 and later

Lambda UI issue

There is a UI bug related to the caching agent that prevents Lambda functions from being displayed in the UI when there are no other clusters associated with the Application. In other words, in order for the function to show up in “Functions” tab, there needs to be a cluster (such as an AWS ASG/EC2 instance) deployed for that application.

Affected versions: 2.23.0 (1.23.0) - 2.26.2 Fixed version: 2.26.3

SpEL expressions and artifact binding

There is an issue where it appears that SpEL expressions are not being evaluated properly in artifact declarations (such as container images) for events such as the Deploy Manifest stage. What is actually happening is that an artifact binding is overriding the image value.

Workaround:

2.27.x or later: Disable artifact binding by adding the following parameter to the stage JSON: enableArtifactBinding: false.

2.26.x or later: Change the artifact binding behavior in spec.spinnakerConfig.profiles.clouddriver (Operator) or clouddriver-local.yml (Halyard) to the following, which causes artifacts to only bind the version when the tag is missing:

kubernetes:
  artifact-binding:
    docker-image: match-name-only

This setting only binds the version when the tag is missing, such as image: nginx without a version number.

Affected versions: 2.26.x and later

Lambda icon missing

In the left navigation of the UI, the icon for Lambda functions is missing. This does not affect any functionality.

Highlighted updates

Artifacts

This release includes the following improvements for git-based artifact providers:

The GitRepo artifact provider now supports token files. Use the tokenFile: (Operator) or --token-file (Halyard) parameters to specify a token file.
The GitHub, GitLab, and GitRepo artifact providers now support token files that are dynamically updated. The token file is automatically reloaded when Armory Enterprise makes a request.

AWS ECS

Resolved an issue where the subnets and server groups were not being cached.

AWS Lambda

These improvements require version 1.0.8 of the AWS Lambda Plugin in addition to Armory Enterprise 2.26.2.

This release includes the following new features and improvements for the Lambda provider:

Improved cache performance including fixes to cache issues found in 2.24.2
New configuration properties that give you greater control over how Armory Enterprise behaves when connection or cache issues occur.

Configure the following properties in your Operator manifest (spinnakerservice.yml by default). Note that all these properties are optional and use the default if omitted.

spec.spinnakerConfig.profiles.orca.spinnaker.:

cloudDriverReadTimeout: Integer. The timeout (in seconds) when attempting to read from Lambda. (Defaults to 60 seconds.)
cloudDriverConnectTimeout: Integer. The connection timeout (in seconds) when trying to connect to AWS Lambda from Clouddriver. (Defaults to 15 seconds.)
cacheRefreshRetryWaitTime: Integer. The time (in seconds) to wait between retries when attempting to refresh the Lambda cache stored in Clouddriver. (Defaults to 15 seconds.)
cacheOnDemandRetryWaitTime: Integer. The time (in seconds) to wait between retries when attempting to refresh the cache on-demand. (Defaults to 15 seconds.)

For example:

# This example only shows the location of the properties. The rest of the manifest is omitted for brevity.
spec:
  spinnakerConfig:
    profiles:
      orca:
        lambdaPluginConfig:
          cloudDriverReadTimeout: 30
          cloudDriverConnectTimeout: 10
          cacheRefreshRetryWaitTime: 10
          CacheOnDemandRetryWaitTime: 10

spec.spinnakerConfig.profiles.clouddriver.aws.lambda.:

retry.timeout: Integer. The time (in minutes) that Clouddriver will wait before timing out when attempting to connect to the Lambda client. (Defaults to 15 minutes.)
concurrency.threads: Integer. The maximum number of threads to use for calls to the Lambda client. (Defaults to 10 threads.)

For example:

# This example only shows the location of the properties. The rest of the manifest is omitted for brevity.
spec:
  spinnakerConfig:
    profiles:
      clouddriver:
        aws:
          enabled: true
          lambda:
            enabled: true
            retry:              
              timeout: 10  
            concurrency:                   
              threads: 5

Pipelines as Code

Strict JSON Validation

Pipelines as Code (PaC) will now attempt a strict JSON validation of template modules and pipelines to catch certain syntactical errors sooner. This behavior may break existing users that make heavy use of template language constructs. If you find that behavior has changed and need to revert to the previous parsing behavior, add the jsonValidationDisabled config to your PaC profile:

spec:
  spinnakerConfig:
    profiles:
      dinghy:
        jsonValidationDisabled: true

Event notifications honor global config

PaC will now honor configurations that define a self-hosted GitHub Enterprise instance when sending GitHub notifications. No configuration change is necessary for this fix to take effect.

Spinnaker Community Contributions

There have also been numerous enhancements, fixes, and features across all of Spinnaker’s other services. See the Spinnaker v1.26.6 changelog for details.
