Kubernetes versions just with .1 are available

[stoeps13]

Kubernetes has released 1.24.8, but the playbook seems to just install 1.24.1 (same for other versions, just x.y.1 templates are available. Installation fails if you set kubernetes_version to something different than x.y.1, no kubeadm config template for higher versions are available. From security perspective, newer versions should be possible and should be used as default. https://v1-24.docs.kubernetes.io/releases/download/

Agreed, we're working on K8s 1.25 support and will test with latest.

So, you're changing the helm charts? I've seen several deprecated messages in 1.24, for stuff which was removed in 1.25.

[sabrina-yee]

Yes, working on changing the Helm charts that don't work on K8s 1.25 anymore.

Hi @sabrina-yee, just deploying the last updates and trying the Kubernetes 1.25 update. First thing I felt over is the default version 1.25.1 why not using 1.25.6, there are tons of known issues with the .1 version. Regards, Christoph

Noted, you can override the default by setting __kubernetes_version. https://github.com/HCL-TECH-SOFTWARE/connections-automation/blob/3d6f96b5dd37112ebc28a881217fa5bdcba64735/roles/third_party/kubernetes/kubernetes-install/vars/main.yml#L2

We'll bump the default in our next push.

Setting the version to 1.25.6 fails because the Jinja template is just for 1.25.1

[sabrina-yee]

There was an improvement made to move away from the dependency of version specific template.

With the latest

With the latest update, the update / install of K8s falls back to a generic kubeadm file.
