v0.8.0

v0.8.0 Most importantly brings persistent clusters that automatically come back
up after dockerd / host restarts. It also brings a number of fixes to networking
in general, experimental podman backend support, improved failure output, and more.

Breaking Changes

  • The default node image is a Kubernetes v1.18.2 image: kindest/node:v1.18.2@sha256:7b27a6d0f2517ff88ba444025beae41491b016bc6af573ba467b70c5e8e0d85f
  • KIND v0.8.0 requires node images built with v0.8.0+.
    • These new images should be mostly backwards compatible for kind v0.5.0+
  • The default docker network for nodes is now kind instead of the default docker bridge
    • This enabled many fixes, however if you were running things alongside kind you may need to pass --net=kind
    • Your host DNS resolver should just work now ™️ in many cases
    • IPv6 clusters no longer require modifying docker daemon config
    • Docker networks must have a free IPv6 /64 in the [ULA] range, that is you may
      not create other docker networks consuming the entire ULA range. You can work
      around this by precreating the kind network with some totally other range if you wish.
  • You may need to migrate to the new featureGates config field when setting feature gates, this should be easier to use though!

NOTE: If you've been experimenting with kind > v0.7.0 installed from HEAD, you may need to docker network rm kind before
creating IPv6 clusters.

New Features

  • Clusters should not be broken by dockerd restarts / restarting your host!
  • Host DNS should just work ™️
  • IPv6 Clusters no longer require modifying docker daemon settings
  • Kubernetes 1.18+ should work on hosts using the iptables nft backend
  • kind delete clusters --all for deleting all your clusters
  • New top level featureGates field in Cluster config for enabling feature gates
  • Upgraded dependencies broadly, including library packages, go, containerd, CNI, etc...
  • NO_COLOR (no-color.org) support
  • Experimental podman support
    • These clusters do not survive host reboots
    • Requires rootful mode
    • Experimental
  • Improved output on failures, including command output without needing to set -v
  • Experimentally cross-building the base image for AMD64 + ARM by default
  • More Documentation! Guide to working with KIND offline, Ingress and more!
  • New download host and experimental nightly builds
  • Support for Dynamic PV in Kubernetes 1.11.X
  • New top level featureGates config option for controlling cluster featuregates
  • Shiny new WorkGroup-K8s-Infra based infrastructure for Kubernetes CI builds
  • Support for KIND_CLUSTER_NAME environment variable isntead of --name

0.7.0

v0.7.0 notably brings greatly improved support for dynamic PersistentVolumes by way of rancher.io/localhost-path integration for clusters with Kubernetes v1.12.X or greater.

It is also worth noting that kind is now committed to IPv6 PR testing and running 80% of the GCE presubmit test cases on Kubernetes Pull Requests.

Breaking Changes

  • The default node image is a Kubernetes v1.17.0 image kindest/node:v1.17.0@sha256:9512edae126da271b66b990b6fff768fbb7cd786c7d39e86bdf55906352fdf62
  • Node images built with kind v0.7.0 have many improvements and require kind v0.5.0+, images built with older releases should continue to work.
    • To get the new dynamic PV support you must upgrade both kind and your node image(s) to this release or newer. The images are compatible with older releases but only both a newer kind CLI and newer images together will enable the updated PV support.
    • When the new PV support enabled by these versions the default storage class is changed from the previous k8s.io/host-path based implementation.

New Features

  • Dynamic PersistentVolume Support is greatly enhanced with rancher.io/localhost-path integration out of the box
  • Upgraded dependencies around the board, notably including fixes to the CNI portmap plugin to reduce flakiness
  • Documentation Enhancements
    • We have started an effort to comprehensively cover configuration in the docs
    • We have a dedicated guide for using Ingress
    • Added more resources
    • Improved site code, in particular added copyable snippets
    • Other assorted smaller improvements
  • Again show one box emoji per node being provisioned

New Node have been Images for kind v0.7.0, please use these exact images (IE like kindest/node:v1.16.4@sha256:b91a2c2317a000f3a783489dfb755064177dbc3a0b2f4147d50f04825d016f55) or build your own as we may need to change the image format again in the future 😅

  • Disabled GINKGO_FLAKE_ATTEMPTS when testing
  • Fixed local image check
  • When the default kubeconfig is empty / non-existent, kind create cluster and kind export kubeconfig will preserve extra fields from kubeadm, notably apiVersion and kind (though they are not strictly necessary...)

v0.6.1

This is a small patch release over v0.6.0.

Notably:

  • Relaxed protocol and propagation in v1alpha4 config to have defaulting like v1alpha3 without specifying a value.
  • Fixed containerd config patching on clusters with multiple control plane nodes.
  • Fixed containerd config patching on slow hosts (do not attempt to restart containerd if it has not started yet).
  • Fixed airgapped support for node images (corrected kindnetd image preloading).

This last point brings a new list of node images, fully compatible with v0.6.0, but with kindnetd properly pre-loaded onto them for use in air-gapped / offline environments:

  • kindest/node:v1.16.3@sha256:70ce6ce09bee5c34ab14aec2b84d6edb260473a60638b1b095470a3a0f95ebec

v0.6.0

v0.6.0 brings major internal rework and some important breaking changes that we hope will make kind easier to use.

It is also worth noting that kind is now used for blocking Kubernetes pull request testing, in addition to already being used for release signal. This is a major milestone for the project.

Breaking Changes

  • KUBECONFIG is now automatically merged in the same style as kops, minikube, GKE, etc. Please see #1060 for a detailed migration guide.

    • You do not need to and should not do export KUBECONFIG="$(kind get kubeconfig-path)". This command is deprecated and will be removed in a future release.
    • kind will set your current-context when creating a cluster
    • You can configure using a different file by either setting the KUBECONFIG environment variable before creating a cluster, or by setting the --kubeconfig flag on cluster creation

  • Config files are now parsed in strict mode, which should help catch invalid config files

  • kind is moving all external (labels, config) namespaced objects into x-k8s.io to comply with the guidelines for API review. For this release kind will support and use both labels without breaking anything, however in a future release we will only use the new x-k8s.io labels. This note is primarily for @danderson 🙃

  • The default node image is a Kubernetes v1.16.3 image kindest/node:v1.16.3@sha256:bced4bc71380b59873ea3917afe9fb35b00e174d22f50c7cab9188eac2b0fb88

  • Node images built with kind v0.6.0 have many improvements and require kind v0.5.0+, images built with v0.4.0 / v0.3.0 should continue to work with v0.6.0 however.

New Features

  • There is a new kind.x-k8s.io/v1alpha4 config format.
    • Support for per-node kubeadm config patches
    • Support for patching the kind nodes's containerd config, which will be used in an upcoming new guide for local registries
  • Automatic KUBECONFIG export and merge to simplify using kind.
    • kind clusters will always have a kind- prefix in kubeconfig file entries and now can be identified by this.
  • kind export kubeconfig to re-export credentials in the way kind create cluster now does.
  • Significant logging rework
    • -q / --quiet flag to silence status messages / error output
    • Logging with -v 1 / --verbosity 1 or greater will result in detailed error output including stacktraces and command output
  • Colored terminal output and slightly better spinners.
    • You can disable both by setting the environment variable TERM to dumb
  • Enhanced kind version output with more details
    • Builds with make build or make install include git commit
    • The simplified version can be obtained with kind version -q
  • Mounts in extraMounts may have relative paths on the host, resolved against the working directory of kind
  • kubeadm config patches no longer need to include metadata.name and may optionally exclude the apiVersion, allowing more flexible matching of patches to config objects
    • The kind binary is now 75% smaller as a result of eliminating dependencies and writing a patch runtime specific to our needs.
  • kindnetd now has improved logging with klog
  • A random salutation is printed at the end of kind create cluster 🙃
  • It should be possible to install kind via chocolatey with choco install kind. We're also hoping to get a homebrew package shortly!

New Node have been Images for kind v0.5.0, please use these exact images (IE like kindest/node:v1.16.3@sha256:bced4bc71380b59873ea3917afe9fb35b00e174d22f50c7cab9188eac2b0fb88) or build your own as we may need to change the image format again in the future 😅

  • v1.16.3 sha256:bced4bc71380b59873ea3917afe9fb35b00e174d22f50c7cab9188eac2b0fb88

  • v1.13.12 sha256:ad1dd06aca2b85601f882ba1df4fdc03d5a57b304652d0e81476580310ba6289
  • v1.12.10 sha256:e93e70143f22856bd652f03da880bfc70902b736750f0a68e5e66d70de236e40
  • v1.11.10 sha256:44e1023d3a42281c69c255958e09264b5ac787c20a7b95caf2d23f8d8f3746f2

The new node images for recent Kubernetes versions should be > 200 MB smaller thanks to a KEP we implemented upstream to allow building without most of the in-tree cloud provider code.

https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/blob/master/keps/sig-cloud-provider/20190729-building-without-in-tree-providers.md

Fixes

  • Various kind CLI output was corrected to be to stdout or stderr where appropriate
  • We have robust new containerd nightly build infrastructure and are shipping the lastest upstream containerd 1.3 + backports in all node images
  • Removed unnecessary dependencies and upgraded all dependencies
  • Fixed building Kubernetes master branch with Bazel
  • Upgraded to build with Go 1.13.4
  • Upgraded all dependencies
  • kindnetd now mounts the iptables xtables lock to ensure coordination with kube-proxy
  • kind will attempt to recreate the original cgroup environment inside the node, this eliminates some error output from kubelet
  • fixed a race condition in command execution, eliminating a source of flakiness of some kind commands
  • kind get kubeconfig does not depend on an existing config file on the host
  • the product_uuid is now faked to be different per-node
  • switched to GA storageclass annotation on the default storage class
    • removed unnecessary addon manager annotation
  • kindnetd is now more robust with backoff on failures
  • kind is now relatively decoupled from docker internally for node management
  • deflaked our cross build and fixed running it on macOS

v0.4.0 Pre-release
Pre-release

v0.4.0 brings improved networking features in particular, including initial IPv6 support and additional node port forwards. It also continues to improve speed and reliability (hopefully! 🙃)

Breaking Changes

  • The default node image is a Kubernetes v1.15.0 image kindest/node:v1.15.0@sha256:b4d092fd2b507843dd096fe6c85d06a27a0cbd740a0b32a880fe61aba24bb478
  • The deprecated kind.sigs.k8s.io/v1alpha2 version of config was removed, please switch to kind.sigs.k8s.io/v1alpha3
  • kind build node-image --type=apt was removed. Please use kind build node-image or kind build node-image --type=bazel instead, or one of the pre-built images. A future release will re-work these commands and add support for building from upstream release tarballs.

New Features

  • Additional node port forwards may be configured with the nodes[].extraPortMappings of Cluster configuration in kind.sigs.k8s.io/v1alpha3. This can be used to access workloads more easily from the host. Expect guides using this soon!
  • Limited IPv6 support. The networking.ipFamily may be set to ipv6 in kind.sigs.k8s.io/v1alpha3 Cluster configuration to create an ipv6 enabled cluster on Linux. We have set up continuous Kubernetes conformance testing with IPv6 enabled and are working to fix the tests
  • A warning is emitted if the chosen cluster name is too long and likely to cause the generated node names to be too long.
  • make install now supports overriding INSTALL to specify an alternate tool to install and ensures the output directory
  • Support / documentation for using kind on WSL2.
  • The kind load ... sub-commands now avoid loading images that are already present
  • kubeadm v1beta2 config is now use opportunistically for recent enough Kubernetes versions
  • Reduced startup time for single-node clusters in particular

New Node have been Images for kind v0.4.0, please use these exact images or build your own as we may need to change the image format again in the future 😅

  • The generated KUBECONFIG file references the API Server by listen address (IP) instead of localhost (domain), which is more correct and should work on systems without a valid localhost entry (!)
  • The new kind images should work on ipv4 only hosts with ipv6 fully disabled
  • The node subnet is properly added included in NO_PROXY on the nodes when proxy settings are detected
  • Clusters with multiple control plane nodes now have proper healthchecks of the API servers in the external loadbalancer
  • Minor cleanup and typo fixes

v0.3.0 Pre-release
Pre-release

This release focused on improving the speed and reliability of cluster creation,
networking, and bug fixes. A number of breaking changes were required, but Nodes
should be simpler, smaller, faster, and more reliable.

Breaking Changes

IMPORTANT: Breaking Image Changes

kind v0.3+ requires new node images versus v0.2.1 and earlier. A number of
important internal improvements were made that required changing how cluster
bootup is performed. The following images we have previously published are
incompatible with kind v0.3+:

  • kindest/node:v1.11.3
  • kindest/node:v1.12.2
  • kindest/node:v1.12.3
  • kindest/node:v1.13.2
  • kindest/node:v1.13.4
  • kindest/node:v1.14.0

The following images require unreleased versions of kind between v0.3.0 and v0.2.1,
please do not use them:

  • kindest/node:v1.14.1

For 0.3+ we are pushing the following images:

  • kindest/nodev1.14.2@sha256:33539d830a6cf20e3e0a75d0c46a4e94730d78c7375435e6b49833d81448c319
  • kindest/node:v1.13.6@sha256:9e07014fb48c746deb98ec8aafd58c3918622eca6063e643c6e6d86c86e170b4
  • kindest/node:v1.12.8@sha256:cc6e1a928a85c14b52e32ea97a198393fb68097f14c4d4c454a8a3bc1d8d486c
  • kindest/node:v1.11.10@sha256:abd0275ead5ddfd477b7bc491f71957d7dd75408a346834ffe8a9bee5fbdc15b

We hope not to make further breaking changes to the images, but strongly
recommend pinning images by sha256, the default image is pinned to a particular sha.
This can be done with --image=kindest/node:v1.X.Y@sha256:hash. For example:
kind create cluster --image=kindest/node:v1.12.8@sha256:cc6e1a928a85c14b52e32ea97a198393fb68097f14c4d4c454a8a3bc1d8d486c

  • Default clusters will now be Kubernetes v1.14.2, the default node image is
    now kindest/nodev1.14.2@sha256:33539d830a6cf20e3e0a75d0c46a4e94730d78c7375435e6b49833d81448c319

  • Kubernetes on the nodes now uses CRI (containerd) instead of dockershim
    (dockerd) inside the "node" docker containers.
    Please note that details underlying Kubernetes are not guaranteed and may
    change again in the future, however we are still warning about this particular
    change as some advanced users depended on these details anyhow.

  • Similarly, the default CNI / networking setup changed, kind now sets a
    podSubnet and masquerades outbound pod traffic with a new CNI
    setup. This subnet is defaulted but is now configurable and the entire CNI setup
    can be disabled (see features below).

  • Building kind now requires go modules (using any upstream supported go version)
    or using the new Makefile. Pre-built binaries for all platforms are included with
    this release. Please consider using one of the binaries in your CI setups, or
    at least pinning to a tagged release.

New Features

  • The default CNI can be disabled with the Cluster.networking.disableDefaultCNI
    config field, making it easier to experiment with your own CNI.
  • The Pod Subnet is now configurable with Cluster.networking.podSubnet
  • kind completion bash is now supported to source shell completions.
    • WARNING: we are considering renaming this to align better with the [verb] [noun] Kubernetes style CLI structure.
  • Limited PPC64LE support (requires building your own images)
  • The kind command line binary is now built reproducibly
    • building now only requires make / docker on the host as an alternative to go 1.11+ with modules
  • kind now runs a minimal and lightweight CNI setup
  • internal progress on IPv6 support
  • internal progress on cluster reboot support
  • kind is now versioned with go modules

Fixes

  • We've improved auto-detecting the kubernetes source location for kind build node-image
  • Cluster bootup should be even faster and more reliable in constrained environments.
    • simplified startup logic with less waiting
    • Kubernetes images are fully preloaded at build time
    • our networking setup is now somewhat custom, and is simpler and lighter
  • kind export logs should be less likley to flake with large numbers of nodes or
    log files, internally we've combined most of the streams.
  • More improvements to proxy handling, though kind may still not work correctly
    in proxied environments.
  • /sys/class/dmi/id/product_name is faked to kind where applicable, this avoids
    Kubernetes detecting if kind is running on GCE.

New Features

  • The hostpath provisioner is now enabled by default (#397)

Fixes

  • fix kind build node-image on macOS, previously --type=bazel and --type=docker (the default) did not work properly on not-Linux in 0.2.0 (#413)
  • fix possible panic in failed kind create cluster calls, previously if multiple nodes failed to come up kind could panic (#407)

Breaking Changes

  • Default clusters will now be Kubernetes v1.13.4, the default node image is now kindest/node:v1.13.4
  • v1alpha1 config is no longer suppported, please upgrade to v1alpha3 (v1alpha2 is also suppported in this release)
  • v1alpha3 is now the default config version
    • The Config type was renamed to Cluster
    • 127.0.0.1 is the default address for binding the API server port to the host, if you wish to use 0.0.0.0 please set this in the networking section of Cluster config in v1alpha3
    • replicas is no longer a field on nodes, given the low node count, please write one entry per node
    • kubeadmConfigPatches and kubeadmConfigPatchesJSON6902 have moved to the Cluster level from nodes (though they were applied cluster-wide previously, and only from the bootstrap control plane node)

New Features

  • Cluster bootup should be faster on Linux in particular, many tasks are now handled in parallel
  • The CNI (weave) is bundled in the node-image, clusters should work without internet access if kindest/node is pulled ahead of time
  • support for multiple-control planes with an external-load balancer, I.E. """HA""" clusters
  • v1alpha3 now supports cluster-wide networking options, which allow for setting the API server listen address and port on the host
  • proxy support is improved
    • http_proxy, https_proxy, and no_proxy are supported instead of their uppercase equivilants if the uppercase values are not set
    • the nodes's docker daemons will be configured with proxy settings from the host (thanks
  • Paths on the host may be bind-mounted to nodes using the new extraMounts field on nodes, to E.G. share a directory with the host and a node
  • We have a new documentation site https://kind.sigs.k8s.io/ 🎉
    • we have a logo now
  • kind is CNCF certified conformant
  • kind should work on ARM, though kubernetes images will need to be built locally for now
  • kind load docker-image and kind load image-archive are now supported for side-loading images into your cluster
  • kubeadm output from init and join will be printed when the kind loglevel is debug
  • kind is now developed with go modules instead of dep
  • Improved usage output for kind create cluster on Windows

Fixes

  • CNI was upgraded to 0.7.5 in the base image
  • Docker was upgraded to 18.06.3 with patched runc
  • kubelet disk eviction and image GC are disabled for kind clusters, this prevents various failures when the host has low disk space. As kind clusters do not run on dedicated hosts, we configure Kubernetes not to reserve disk overhead.
  • Docker image archives are chowned to root:root in the node image, fixing user namespace remapping support
  • No emoji are re-used in CLI output, every action now has a unique emoji
