We’re excited to announce that KubeOne 1.11 is now available! KubeOne is our open-source cluster lifecycle management tool, which automates cluster deployment and management in your preferred on-prem, edge, or cloud environment.
This release focuses on improving KubeOne’s flexibility and includes new features aimed at advanced configuration, image management, and Kubernetes 1.33 support. Here’s what’s new in KubeOne 1.11:
Support for Kubernetes 1.33: As always, we’re committed to supporting the latest Kubernetes versions. KubeOne 1.11 introduces support for Kubernetes 1.33, ensuring you can leverage the latest upstream features and improvements. All managed components are updated for full compatibility and performance.
New mirror-images Command: We’re introducing a new mirror-images helper command, allowing you to create a mirror of all images used by KubeOne. This is especially useful for air-gapped environments or organizations with strict registry policies.
Control Plane and Static Workers Annotations API: With 1.11, we’ve added support for annotating control plane nodes and static workers via the KubeOne API. This makes it easier to attach metadata and custom logic to specific node roles, and enables you to support more advanced automation workflows.
Override Containerd Sandbox Image: KubeOne 1.11 allows you to override the default containerd sandbox image. This feature helps align your environment with internal image policies or use region-specific mirrors to speed up provisioning.
Improved caBundle API: We’ve made it easier to manage custom Certificate Authorities. You can now provide a CA bundle from a file, simplifying integration with custom PKI setups.
Automatic CA Injection for Add-ons: Add-ons now automatically receive caBundle volumes, volume mounts, and environment variables. This reduces the need for manual configuration and ensures that add-ons have access to your cluster’s trusted certificate authorities by default.
We hope KubeOne 1.11 helps you manage your Kubernetes clusters with greater ease! For more details, check out the changelog and upgrade instructions.
As always, we’d love to hear your feedback. Reach out to us on our Community Slack or on GitHub!
