1.2.414.0 June Release
We are excited to release the June Update of AKS Edge Essentials.
Key Updates
- New version Kubernetes support - K8s (upstream Kubernetes) distribution - 1.25.4 and on K3s distribution - 1.25.8. You cannot update from 1.24.x to 1.25.x using the Microsoft Updates channel, you would have to start afresh.
- Updates on existing version - K8S distribution - 1.24.9, K3S distribution - 1.24.12. You can update your existing 1.24.x deployments to the latest versions on 1.24.-
- On the Windows node, replaced the Windows client image with the ServerCore image. This feature is still in preview.
Experimental or Preview Features
- Run Windows containerized workloads
- Create multi-node deployments either on a single machine or across multiple machines.
- Create a cluster with multiple machines
For more information feature set and benefits, see AKS Edge Essentials Overview.
Fixed issues
- Failure to start WSSD Agent Service when creating a full deployment with auto created external switch - Fixed by waiting for the host adapter to come online, before creating the external switch
- Fixed the issue when you cannot deploy SingleMachineCluster, ARP check does not find available IPs addresses that can be used.
- Fix to ensure that proxy settings works on Windows VM as well
- Fixed the failure of Windows Vhdx extraction on PS 5.0 and 7.0
- Fixed the issue where DNS would not resolve in the Windows node](#100).
Known issues
Runtime
- When disk space begins to run out, precached images may be removed by kubelet/containerd, causing Kubernetes to fail
Update
- OS upgrade (Windows 10 to Windows 11) will result in AKS Edge Essentials failing to work properly
Deployment
- Deploying a K8s Linux node on a 4GB RAM host machine fails
- New deployment fails when the execution policy is set to AllSigned (
Set-ExecutionPolicy –ExecutionPolicy AllSigned
) - Uninstalling and reinstalling k8s/k3s causes a “deployment already exists” error when creating a new deployment, so a restart is necessary
- Event logging fails when uninstalling and reinstalling an MSI without a reboot in between
- When a deployment fails due to lack of memory/disk space, it creates an incomplete VHDX file that causes errors in later deployments
- Deployment with External virtual switch fails when using Windows RS5
Linux nodes
- When you use the Remove-AksEdgeNode to remove a node, it might still show up in the
kubectl get nodes
as the cluster tries to reconcile the state of the present nodes. Please note that the command Remove-AksEdgeNode is a asynchronous call and will return before the cluster state is updated to reflect the new state.
Windows nodes
- On a K3s Windows node, load balancer klipper-lb pulls images from the internet when connected
- Adding a Windows node takes around ~10 minutes to complete
- K3s Windows node with Calico as the CNI is not yet supported
- No storage provisioner is available for the Windows node
- NFS subdir external provisioner pod fails on Windows nodes
- Multi-Node update Fails to recreate Windows nodes
