Azure AKS (changelog)

Release 2019-02-07 - Hotfix Release

This hotfix release fixes the root-cause of several bugs / regressions introduced in the 2019-01-31 release. This release does not add new features, functionality or other improvements.

Hotfix releases follow an accelerated rollout schedule - this release should be in all regions within 24-48 hours barring unforeseen issues

• Fix for the API regression introduced by removing the Get Access Profile API call.
  • Note: This call is planned to be deprecated, however we will issue advance communications and provide the required logging/warnings on the API call to reflect it's deprecating status.
  • Resolves Issue 809
• Fix for CoreDNS / kube-dns autoscaler conflict(s) leading to both running in the same cluster post-upgrade
  • Resolves Issue 812
• Fix to enable the CoreDNS customization / compatibility with kube-dns config maps
  • Resolves Issue 811
  • Note: customization of Kube-dns via the config map method was technically unsupported, however the AKS team understands the need and has created a compatible work around (formatting of the customizations has changed however). Please see the example/notes below for usage.

Using the new CoreDNS configuration for DNS configuration.

With kube-dns, there was an undocumented feature where it supported two config maps allowing users to perform DNS overrides/stub domains, and other customizations. With the conversion to CoreDNS, this functionality was lost - CoreDNS only supports a single config map. With the hotfix above, AKS now has a work around to meet the same level of customization.

You can see the pre-CoreDNS conversion customization instructions here

Here is the equivalent ConfigMap for CoreDNS:

apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
  name: coredns-custom
  namespace: kube-system
data:
  azurestack.server: |
    azurestack.local:53 {
        errors
        cache 30
        proxy . 172.16.0.4
    }

After create the config map, you will need to delete the CoreDNS deployment to force-load the new config.

kubectl -n kube-system delete po -l k8s-app=kube-dns
