Release Notes

4.0.12

Release Date: 2021-09-13

New Features

  • Emit metrics to indicate when an action has started, ended, and been skipped.

  • Added support for K10 DR Restore in air-gapped installation mode.

  • The Application Details panel now displays custom resources.

  • The dashboard now supports resource filters for import and restore policies.

  • The dashboard now supports pre/post kanister-execution hooks for manual exports of restore points.

Known Issues

  • After running the k10multicluster disconnect command to remove a cluster, it might continue to be listed on K10's multi-cluster dashboard. This happens only if the cluster was added to K10 in a release older than 4.0.10. The workaround for removing the cluster would be to remove the finalizer dist.kio.kasten.io/manual-debootstrap from the cluster's spec using kubectl edit cluster <cluster name> --namespace=kasten-io-mc.

Other Notes

  • Update documentation to indicate Kubernetes 1.20 and 1.21 are supported.

4.0.11

Release Date: 2021-08-28

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed an issue where profile validation would fail with the error The requested DurationSeconds exceeds the MaxSessionDuration set for this role. K10's config service now uses the helm value awsConfig.assumeRoleDuration to avoid this error.

  • Automatically remove Prometheus scrape configs when a cluster is deleted.

  • Fix the Prometheus server to automatically reload its configuration when changed.

  • Fixes issue where 500 errors appear on Dashboard for non-admin users.

  • Fixed a bug in the dashboard policy form where an edited form was not retaining the setting for exporting snapshot references only.

Known Issues

  • If K10 has been deployed using an AWS IAM role and if this error is seen in K10's logs The requested DurationSeconds exceeds the MaxSessionDuration set for this role, then this can be fixed by either setting the K10 helm value awsConfig.assumeRoleDuration to a value that is less than or equal to the maximum session duration for the IAM role or by increasing the maximum session duration. For documentation about how to view and edit the maximum session duration for an IAM role see https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_roles_use.html#id_roles_use_view-role-max-session.

  • Fixed an issue that would cause long running Generic Volume Snapshot backups to timeout after 4 hours due to the default Kubernetes streaming connection idle timeout.

  • Fixed an issue where import jobs on a destination cluster would fail with the error chacha20poly1305: message authentication failed if the source cluster had an existing export policy and was upgraded from a pre-3.0.9 to a newer release. After upgrading source and destination clusters to 4.0.6 to apply this fix, the import policy will need to be updated. Refer to https://kb.kasten.io/knowledge for instructions.

  • Fixed an issue related to accessing K10's instance of prometheus when ingress.urlPath or route.path is used.

Security Issues

  • Update Go to pull in latest security fixes.

  • Update K10 services base image to pull in latest security updates.

Upgrade Notes

  • This release will perform a catalog schema upgrade to add label indexes that support label filtering.

Other Notes

  • Kanister release 0.60.0 introduced some breaking changes to V2 blueprints that use kando to write and read data. Note that we removed the gzip command from the bash command since the stream is deduplicated/compressed during processing. Similarly, the corresponding gunzip command has been removed from the restore action. Due to this, the backups performed using V2 blueprints from Kanister releases 0.58.0 and 0.59.0 can no longer be restored using the newer blueprint. To restore such backups after upgrading to the latest blueprint, delete the blueprint before triggering the restore.

4.0.4

Release Date: 2021-06-09

New Features

  • Added policy detail to RunAction resource. Added counts of action status to RunAction details sub-resource.

  • Fixed an issue where custom CA certificate ConfigMap was getting deleted after the backup.

  • Fixed an issue where Generic Volume Snapshot into an NFS FileStore location would fail if triggered on a workload with no PVCs.

  • Fixed issue with application scoped policies where migration token would unexpectedly get deleted.

  • Fixed an issue that caused Generic Volume Snapshot and K10 Disaster Recovery operations to timeout when using NFS FileStore location profile.

  • The dashboard no longer displays error message banners after logout.

  • Fixed a problem where appended white space in filter fields was not being trimmed.

Security Issues

  • Update Ambassador to 1.13.6 to include latest security updates.

  • Update K10 services base image to pull in latest security updates.

  • Fixed Multi-Cluster issue where users without any bindings were able to view clusters as admins.

Security Issues

  • Upgrade golang.org/x/net prevent denial of service (CVE-2021-33194).

Known Issues

  • An issue has been identified with policies that export cluster-scoped resources. The issue results in failure to export migration metadata and may prevent export of some or all applications selected by the policy. One workaround is to disable "Snapshot Cluster-Scoped Resources" in such policies and to perform a manual snapshot and export of cluster-scoped resources. This issue was introduced in K10 release 4.0.2.

4.0.2

Release Date: 2021-05-10

New Features

  • Kafka topic backup and restore using Adobe Kafka Connect S3 is now supported.

  • Policies that protect multiple applications by creating and exporting snapshots as backups now create a separate ExportAction for each application. When each BackupAction completes an ExportAction for the application is started. BackupActions and ExportActions for different applications protected by the same policy may now run concurrently. A successful ExportAction creates an exported RestorePoint and exports snapshot data if that option is set in the policy. If a BackupAction fails or is skipped, the ExportAction for that application is skipped with a corresponding reason. Once all BackupActions and ExportActions complete, all successful ExportActions are pushed to the migration location together.

  • Pre-flight checks are able to distinguish unsupported vSphere TKGS clusters.

Bug Fixes

  • When editing a K10 disaster recovery policy, the policy form is limited to supported features.

  • Fixed a bug where editing policies with sub-hourly frequencies did not preserve sub-hourly frequency settings.

  • Fixed a bug where the dropdown on resource filter dialog sometimes would not register the click.

  • The Dashboard now correctly displays multiple exported restore points for the same application and scheduled time.

Security Issues

  • Update K10 services base image to pull in latest security updates.

Other Notes

  • Add Kubernetes 1.19 to the list of supported versions.

4.0.1

Release Date: 2021-04-28

Release Summary

With this latest release of Kasten K10, we have taken our focus on security and application protection to the next level to introduce a Kubernetes-native ransomware protection solution. This solution leverages immutable object storage backups, which will enable in a future release the ability to specify the retention period for backups. The retention setting ensures that the backed-up content cannot be altered during that time period. Automation via policies combines not only the actions you want to take (e.g., snapshots) but also the retention period for object immutability.

We have continued to make advancements to our multi-cluster operation so that operations can work at the speed of DevOps with secure self-service portals. Authorized users can now manage their own clusters, create backup policies for their own application namespaces and add secondary clusters directly through the multi-cluster manager for easy scalability.

Lastly, we also added support for NFS for migration and as a backup target in addition to object storage options.

New Features

Deprecations

3.0.1

Release Date: 2020-11-14

Release Summary

The K10 Multi-Cluster Manager is now generally available. K10 multi-cluster allows management of multiple Kubernetes clusters through a single dashboard. Using the k10multicluster tool, primary-secondary relationships may be created between K10 instances in different clusters. Once logged-in to a primary K10 instance and granted the correct authorization, users have access to the multi-cluster dashboard that contains aggregate metrics and action summaries of the all secondary clusters. In addition, the main dashboards of secondary instances may be accessed directly through the multi-cluster dashboard. K10 resources, specifically Policies and Profiles, may be synchronized from primaries to secondaries.

New Features

  • Set auth.openshift.useServiceAccountCA to true to setup K10's Authentication Service with OpenShift's CA certificate for verifying TLS connections to the OpenShift OAuth server.

  • The Dashboard snapshot storage chart now only reflects namespaces that the user has permissions to view.

Bug Fixes

  • The cacertconfigmap.name helm option can be used to update K10's Authentication Service's trust store with a private root CA certificate for OpenShift based authentication.

  • Fix to enable restores of PVCs that are missing a StorageClass.

  • Fixed a bug where the profile card, shown in a pop-up, always used the dark mode color scheme.

Security Issues

  • Mitigate potential crashes caused by malicious certificates.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed an issue where CSI snapshot pre-checks were run even if a Kanister blueprint was being used to backup the workload.

  • Fixed an issue which would result in the global policy form not showing the complete list of namespaces when one or more clusters was unreachable.

  • Fixed an issue that would cause backup jobs to fail when writing to a Minio object store running Minio version RELEASE.2020-08-25T00-21-20Z or newer.

  • Fixed an issue that would cause backup of Portworx volumes with an empty storage class to fail.

  • Fixed an issue where some export or import policy runs would fail after K10 Disaster Recovery.

Known Issues

  • The Kanister kando tool does not use multi-part uploads for Azure Blob storage. This impacts Kanister Blueprints that use Azure Blob profiles and when uploading objects larger than 256 MiB.

  • Retrying Policy edits may cause invalid Policies to skip validation and still be created. The workaround is to recreate the Policy.

  • Restore actions fail when restoring PVC's that use annotations to reference a StorageClass. The workaround is to use a transform to add a StorageClass during restore.

2.5.16

Release Date: 2020-08-02

New Features

  • Use Kubernetes Endpoints for service discovery instead of cluster DNS.

  • Add license compliance information in prometheus metrics. So that compliance, with respect to time, can be seen in the dashboard.

  • Support token authentication mode with OAuth proxy for OpenShift clusters.

  • Added support for Portworx infrastructure profiles.

  • Added direct (non-CSI) support for Portworx storage.

  • Fixed an issue where an application creation via the OpenShift console fails when Kanister sidecar injection feature is enabled.

  • Fixes issue where export action fails when policy selects no applications to snapshot.

Known Issues

  • ManagedFields in API objects are not preserved when taking backups. Introduced in Kubernetes 1.18.x (OpenShift 4.5.x), they track the actor in the system who last modified each field in an API object. They are used by server-side apply report conflicting patches to objects. Since these are omitted by K10, executing server-side apply after an application is restored may result in different behavior than before restore.

  • Sidecar injection for generic volume snapshots is not supported in Kubernetes 1.18+ or OpenShift 4.5+. Do not use the helm value injectKanisterSidecar.enabled=true on these versions.

  • When K10 is deployed with the helm option auth.tokenAuth.enabled set to true, and when OAuth proxy is used for authentication, the OAuth proxy session is not cleared when the user signs out of the dashboard.

  • PersistentVolumes provisioned by K10 on vSphere do not get removed when they are released.

Upgrade Notes

  • The K10 Helm chart options persistence are moved under global.persistence. Setting global.persistence.storageClass now overwrites default StorageClass for Prometheus PVCs.

Release Date: 2020-07-20

New Features

  • K10 automatically adds the k10.kasten.io/forcegenericbackup="true" annotation to selected workloads to enforce generic backups when the Kanister sidecar injection feature is enabled.

  • Dashboard now shows DR restore progress and displays suggested actions with failure messages.

  • When OIDC based authentication is enabled, if K10 is not able to get the user's information from the OIDC token, it will use the provider's userinfo endpoint to get it.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed an issue where an injected Kanister sidecar was failing on OpenShift due to a root SecurityContext. An injected Kanister sidecar's SecurityContext is copied from the primary container.

  • If configured authentication method is basic, ignore any authentication cookie in requests.

Other Notes

  • Document how to run Prometheus with a specific user and group ID.

  • Improve catalog storage utilization and reduce DR resource and time requirements by performing catalog pruning.

  • K10 Disaster Recovery now performs app-consistent backups of the K10 catalog store.

  • K10 now creates an export restore point whenever a snapshot is exported. This includes when a policy is used to copy snapshots to another region.

  • Exported restore points are now visible in the API as RestorePoint resources in the namespace of the snapshot RestorePoint resource as well as being RestorePointContent resources.

  • K10 policies that select multiple applications now copy each application independently and export all successfully copied applications by default. Application copy errors are noted as exceptions in the ExportAction and an export restore point is not created for an application with a copy error.

  • When manually restoring an application, the UI will provide the option of adding transforms previously used to restore that application.

  • Added support for taking generic snapshots of DeploymentConfigs
