Release Notes:

`gardener-operator` now renews garden access secrets and the gardenlet kubeconfig on all `Seed`s during CA/service account signing key credentials rotation.
When performing control plane migration with `provider-local`, the full migration and restoration logic implemented in the extensions library (generic `Worker` actuator) is now executed (previously, it was skipped). This improves the accuracy of the e2e tests for control plane migration.
Etcd-backup-restore now uses the user home directory to create files.
Gardener can now support clusters with Kubernetes version 1.28. In order to allow creation/update of 1.28 clusters you will have to update the version of your provider extension(s) to a version that supports 1.28 as well. Please consult the respective releases and notes in the provider extension's repository.
It is now possible to enable disabled APIs for workerless shoot clusters via `spec.kubernetes.kubeAPIServer.runtimeConfig`.
The `.spec.kubernetes.kubeAPIServer.serviceAccountConfig.acceptedIssuers` field of the `Shoot` spec no longer allows duplicate values.
`Shoot`s allow to optionally configure a specific scheduler via `.spec.schedulerName`. The `default-scheduler` is used in case non is configured. Please note, that `Shoot`s will remain `Pending` in case a scheduler name is configured but an adequate scheduler is not available in the landscape.
It is now possible to trigger gardenlet kubeconfig renewal for unmanaged `Seed`s by annotating them with `gardener.cloud/operation=renew-kubeconfig`. This was already supported for `ManagedSeed`s only.
Webhooks remediator now sets the timeoutSeonds to 3 seconds for webhook affecting lease resources in `kube-system` namespace.
gardenlet now cleans up VolumeSnapshot and VolumeSnapshotContent resources from the `v1` API of the `snapshot.storage.k8s.io` group. `v1` is served starting `external-snapshotter@v4`. Before upgrading to this version of Gardener make sure that provider extension install at least `external-snapshotter@v4` and do not install any lower version.
The `register-kind2-env` and `tear-down-kind2-env` will no longer try to deploy and delete the `seed-local` `Secret`. This fixes an issue where `tear-down-kind2-env` would hang as it deletes and then waits for the `seed-local` `Secret` to be deleted which can not happen as long as the `local` `Seed` which uses it still exists.  
Adapt vpa-updater QPS limits such that it doesn't get throttled on large clusters
`gardener-resource-manager` now disables cache only for `Secrets` and `ConfigMap` if `DisableCachedClient` set to true.
`nginx-ingress-controller` image is updated to `v1.8.1` for Kubernetes`v1.24+` clusters.
It is required to have `ControllerRegistrations`s for Kinds `ControlPlane`, `Infrastructure` and `Worker` with the same types used for seeds (`seed.spec.provider.type`). This is already the case if seeds and shoots share the same cloud provider. The seed reconciliation flow waits for the associated `ControllerInstallation` to be ready before continuing rolling out seed system components. It allows Gardener provider extensions to ship components that not only act on shoot control-plane but also on seed system components.
The deprecated local development setups have been removed. From now on, only the `kind`-based setups are supported. Please refer to [this guide](https://github.com/gardener/gardener/blob/master/docs/development/local_setup.md) for all information.
The following images are updated:
- registry.k8s.io/metrics-server/metrics-server: v0.6.3 -> v0.6.4
- registry.k8s.io/cpa/cluster-proportional-autoscaler: v1.8.8 -> v1.8.9
- registry.k8s.io/coredns/coredns: v1.10.0 -> v1.10.1
- quay.io/prometheus/blackbox-exporter: v0.23.0 -> v0.24.0
- quay.io/prometheus/node-exporter: v1.5.0 -> v1.6.1
- ghcr.io/credativ/plutono: v7.5.22 -> v7.5.23
- ghcr.io/prometheus-operator/prometheus-config-reloader: v0.61.1 -> v0.67.1
- registry.k8s.io/dns/k8s-dns-node-cache: 1.22.20 -> 1.22.23
`nginx-ingress-controller-seed` image is updated to `v1.8.0` for `1.24.x+` seeds.
`extensions.gardener.cloud/v1alpha1.ControlPlane` is now deployed after `kube-apiserver` in the Shoot reconciliation flow.
An issue causing several tasks from the Shoot reconciliation flow to fail with transient errors of type `duplicate filename in registry` is now fixed.
Eliminated `Role` helm charts and converted into Golang component with added unit tests.
Remove lastOperation check in fluent-bit-to-vali plugin.
Set `cgroupDriver` of `provider-local` to `systemd`.
The [`highavailabilityconfig` webhook](https://github.com/gardener/gardener/blob/master/docs/concepts/resource-manager.md#high-availability-config) configures topology spread constraints with `minDomains=<number-of- zones>`. This configuration only takes effect for clusters which enabled feature gate `MinDomainsInPodTopologySpread` (default as of Kubernetes `v1.27`). Please note, this configuration will require at least one worker node per registered availability zone so that Kubernetes can spread the respective seed, shoot and control-plane pods across zones.
Druid now exposes metrics related to snapshot compaction, on default port 8080. Please expose the desired metrics port via the etcd-druid service to allow metrics to be scraped by a Prometheus instance.
Added check to ensure that the scale up annotation is removed from the etcd statefulset only when scale-up succeeds
Update local-setup to `kind@v0.18.0`.
Suppress the event-logger `nest` filter's warnings in the fluent-bit.
The logging components: vali and valitail are now updated to v2.2.8.
The shoot namespace in seeds is redeployed during shoot deletion to update the zones in use.
Fix verification.
A bug has been fixed which was allowing users to specify an extension of the same type in `.spec.extensions[].type` more than once in the `Shoot` API.
Updated cluster-proportional-autoscaler to v1.8.8
The `networking.resources.gardener.cloud/from-policy-pod-label-selector` and `networking.resources.gardener.cloud/from-policy-allowed-ports` annotations are now deprecated and will be removed in the future. Use `networking.resources.gardener.cloud/from-<pod-label-selector>-allowed-ports=<ports>` instead.
Bump alpine base image from `1.16.3` to `1.16.5`
`gardener-operator` is now managing the `nginx-ingress-controller` and `nginx-ingress-k8s-backend` components. Make sure that your `Garden` resource specifies the [`.spec.runtimeCluster.ingress` section](https://github.com/gardener/gardener/blob/ee3dd5d177be1bf3435534f194e25cef67177650/example/operator/20-garden.yaml#L16-L22).
Adding Gardener-managed finalizers (e.g., `gardener` or `gardener.cloud/reference-protection`) to the `Shoot` on creation is now forbidden. 
A configuration issue that resulted in a relatively slow startup and termination of the vali pods is fixed.
Block public access for S3 buckets created by e2e tests.
Run `make ci-e2e-kind` to run the e2e tests on local machine
Go version is updated to 1.20.4.
The obsolete `addons` `ManagedResource` is now properly cleaned up.
The following image is updated:
- quay.io/prometheus/prometheus: v2.41.0 -> v2.43.1
`kubectl get garden` now features additional printer column `Observability` providing information about the Observability components of the runtime cluster.
The `Deploying Shoot namespace in Seed` step was slightly improved. Earlier it failed at some occasions when it tried to read zone information for volumes that have not been created yet. This was a transient error that dissolved in subsequent reconcile runs.
A bug which was causing race conditions to occur during reconciliation of extension resources was fixed. 
Support for `nip.io` shoot domains is discontinued.
gardenlet: A regression causing metering related recording rules for the aggregate-prometheus not to be applied is now fixed.
Annotation `alpha.featuregates.shoot.gardener.cloud/node-local-dns` is deprecated and will be removed in future releases. Use field `.spec.systemComponents.nodeLocalDNS.enabled` in `Shoot` instead. Switching on node-local-dns via shoot specification will roll the nodes even if node-local-dns was enabled beforehand via annotation.
`gardener-operator` is now managing the `gardener-resource-manager` instance as part of the virtual garden cluster control plane. It provides a `TokenRequest` API-based kubeconfig for `gardener-operator` to access the virtual garden cluster. The static token kubeconfig is now unconditionally disabled.
Operators can now use the annotation `gardener.cloud/operation=rotate-observability-credentials` on the `garden` resource to rotate the observability credentials. 
`gardener-operator` now runs a new controller which protects `Secret`s and `ConfigMap`s with a finalizer in case they are referenced in `Garden` resources.
Several default settings of Kubernetes feature gates have been corrected.
Gardener can now support clusters with Kubernetes version 1.28. Extension developers have to prepare individual extensions as well to work with 1.28.
The `--node-monitor-grace-period` flag of `kube-controller-manager` is now defaulted to `40s` for Shoot clusters using Kubernetes version `1.27` and higher.
The `Secrets` type as well as the `Delete` functions for secrets were removed from `pkg/utils/managedresources/builder` since their usage was prone to errors. The higher level package `pkg/utils/managedresources` should be used instead.
`generate-controller-registration.sh` now supports extension charts with fully-qualified `image` values instead of the usual `image` stanza with values for `repository` and `tag`. With this, skaffold can be configured (using `resourceSelector`) to inject a freshly-built image reference into the generated `ControllerDeployment`.
When deploying this version of `gardener-operator`, make sure that you update your `Garden` resources with the new `.spec.virtualCluster.gardener.clusterIdentity` field. If you already have a `gardener-apiserver` deployment, make sure that the value matches the `--cluster-identity` flag of the current `gardener-apiserver` deployment.
Bump builder image golang from `1.20.2` to `1.20.4`
The `gardener.cloud/timestamp` annotation is now formatted as `time.RFC3339Nano`.
Etcd-related secrets will now be mounted onto the `/var/` directory instead of `/root/`.
The `SeedChange` and `CopyEtcdBackupsDuringControlPlaneMigration` feature gates have been promoted to GA and are now locked to `true`.
It is possible now to trigger a seed reconciliation by annotating the Seed with `gardener.cloud/operation=reconcile`.
`Seed` and `ManagedSeed` API validation has been enhanced by the following checks:
(a) New `ManagedSeed`s can only use the very same zone(s) (`managedSeed.spec.gardenlet.config.seedConfig.spec.provider.zones`) that are available in the referenced `Shoot` (`shoot.spec.provider.workers[].zones`).
(b) Existing `ManagedSeed`s can only add additional zones that are available in the referenced shoot.
(c) Removing elements in `seed.spec.provider.zones` is denied if shoots are still scheduled to the affected seed.
These restrictions were removed in Gardener `v1.60` to compensate a zone mismatch issue in Azure that is in the meantime fixed by the Azure provider extension [v1.34](https://github.com/gardener/gardener-extension-provider-azure/releases/tag/v1.34.0).
⚠️ Before upgrading to this Gardener version, please make sure to check existing `ManagedSeed` objects. They should configure as many as zone as there are available in the referenced shoot - see check (c).
A bug that prevented finalizers from being added to referenced `Secret`s or `ConfigMap`s in `.spec.resources` in `Shoot`s has been fixed.
A bug has been fixed that prevented `ControllerInstallation`s from getting deleted when the backing `ControllerRegistration` with `.spec.deployment.policy={Always,AlwaysExceptNoShoots}` was deleted.
`github.com/gardener/gardener/pkg/utils/gardener.ShootAccessSecret` was renamed to `AccessSecret`.
Gardener now reports `node`s for which the `checksum/cloud-config-data` hasn't been populated yet. This could point towards an error on the node and that not all Gardener related configuration happened successfully.
Refactored `statefulset`, `service`, `poddisruptionbudget`, `lease`, and `configmap` components to use default labels and owner references from `etcd`.
A bug causing `kube-controller-manager` to fail to clean up `ShootState` resources is now fixed.
The static token kubeconfig can no longer be enabled for Shoot clusters using Kubernetes version `1.27` and higher.
Annotations in `seed.spec.settings.loadBalancerServices.annotations` are now applied to the Nginx-Ingress load balancer service in the seed cluster.
`gardener-operator` is now managing the `kube-controller-manager` instance as part of the virtual garden cluster control plane.
It is possible to delete a Shoot even if `shoot.gardener.cloud/ignore` annotation is set to true.
Extensions running on seed clusters can get access to the garden cluster by using the injected kubeconfig specified by the `GARDEN_KUBECONFIG` environment variable. You can read about the details in this [doc](https://github.com/gardener/gardener/blob/master/docs/extensions/garden-api-access.md).
Go version is updated to 1.20.5.
It is now possible to provide namespace selectors for additional namespaces which should be covered by the `NetworkPolicy` controllers of `gardener-operator` or `gardenlet`. The selectors must be provided via their component configs. Please consult [this document](https://github.com/gardener/gardener/blob/master/docs/usage/network_policies.md#additional-namespace-coverage-in-gardenseed-cluster) for further insights.
All components in the gardener logging stack are now updated to the following respective versions. Fluent-bit to 2.1.4, Fluent-operator to 2.3.0 and logging to 0.55.3
The `WorkerlessShoots` feature gate has been promoted to beta and is now turned on by default. Before deploying this Gardener version, make sure that all your registered extensions support this feature gate.
Fixed potential leaks of `ShootState`s that could happen when a `Shoot` cluster is deleted. This is achieved by no longer exiting early from the deletion flow if the shoot's seed `Namespace` has been deleted. The same logic has been applied to the migration flow for consistency.
As of Kubernetes `v1.27`, Gardener enforces a `worker.maximum` configuration for system component worker pools. The value must be greater or equal to the number of zones configured for this pool. This ensures, that the pool has the minimum required nodes to schedule system component across nodes.
The promoted or deprecated feature gates `ManagedIstio` and `ReversedVPN` have been removed. Remove these feature gates before updating to this version of Gardener.
Gardener uses an `InternalSecret` per Shoot for syncing the client CA to the project namespace in the garden cluster (named `<shoot-name>.ca-client`). The `shoots/adminkubeconfig` subresource signs short-lived client certificates by retrieving the CA from the `InternalSecret`.
Test-machinery integration tests are now using upstream K8s e2e test images such as `registry.k8s.io/e2e-test-images/busybox`, `registry.k8s.io/e2e-test-images/agnhost` instead Gardener images such as `eu.gcr.io/gardener-project/3rd/busybox`, `eu.gcr.io/gardener-project/3rd/alpine` and others.
Fixes a bug in backup-restore which falsely detects scale-up scenario incase of rolling update of statefulset.
Operators can now view and manage dashboards for compaction jobs running in shoot control plane.
A bug has been fixed in the [HighAvailabilityConfig-Webhook](https://github.com/gardener/gardener/blob/master/docs/concepts/resource-manager.md#high-availability-config) which caused duplicated entries for zone affinities.
Update Kubernetes dependencies (especially `k8s.io/client-go`) from `v0.26.3` to `v0.26.4` to resolve panic on working with special shoots.
Gardener Scheduler's Minimal Distance strategy can take scheduling decisions based on region distances configured by operators. This especially improves the allocation for shoots of providers regions for which the standard Levenshtein distance is inappropriate. Please see `docs/concepts/scheduler.md` for more information.
The target cache for `gardener-resource-manager` is now unconditionally enabled, leading to faster reconciliations and less network I/O.
Feature gates have been introduced in etcd-druid, and can be specified using CLI flag `--feature-gate`.
A bug that prevented referencing `ConfigMap`s in `.spec.resources` in `Shoot`s has been fixed.
When Seed's `spec.settings.ownerChecks.enabled=false` gardenlet is now able to delete the owner DNSRecord for a Shoot stuck in deletion where the kube-apiserver Deployment is missing but the Infrastructure is present and cannot be deleted for some reason (infrastructure dependency, invalid credentials).
The worker count for the [NetworkPolicy controller](https://github.com/gardener/gardener/blob/master/docs/concepts/resource-manager.md#networkpolicy-controller) in GRM was increased to `20`. This is necessary to create and update `NetworkPolicies` in time, esp. on larger seed clusters.
Fixed flaky operator behaviour with regards to istio deployment caused by concurrent update of garden object
The `NetworkPolicy` reconciler is only added to `gardener-operator` if the `.spec.runtimeCluster.networking.{pods,services}` fields of the `Garden` are set.
The logging integration test is now switched from the `loki` Service to `logging` Service.
`gardenlet` and `gardener-operator` managed `deployment`s and `statefulset`s can now be equipped with toleration seconds for taints `node.kubernetes.io/not-ready` and `node.kubernetes.io/unreachable`.
Please consult the respective component config examples ([`gardenlet`](https://github.com/gardener/gardener/blob/master/example/20-componentconfig-gardenlet.yaml), [`gardener-operator`](https://github.com/gardener/gardener/blob/master/example/operator/10-componentconfig.yaml)) for more information.
`UseEtcdWrapper` feature gate has been introduced to allow users to opt for the new [etcd-wrapper](https://github.com/gardener/etcd-wrapper) image.
Applying Gardener resources server-side has caused the `the server is currently unable to handle the request` error which is now fixed.
The `gardenlet`'s `ManagedSeed` controller now cleans up the referred seed secret when `.spec.secretRef` is unset in the seed template.
Use admission v1 instead of v1beta1 for apiserver-proxy webhook.
A bug causing `EtcdCopyBackupsTask` jobs to fail to create temp snapshot directory while using distroless etcd-backup-restore image `v0.25.x` has been resolved.
The gardenlet and the gardener-operator will now use the new `service.kubernetes.io/topology-mode=auto` annotation when enabling topology-aware routing for a Service when the Kubernetes version of the runtime cluster is >= 1.27. In Kubernetes 1.27, the `service.kubernetes.io/topology-aware-hints=auto` annotation is deprecated in favor of the newly introduced `service.kubernetes.io/topology-mode=auto`
gardener-apiserver now exposes a new `core.gardener.cloud/v1beta1.InternalSecret` API, see the [documentation](https://github.com/gardener/gardener/blob/master/docs/concepts/apiserver.md#internalsecrets) for more information.
The `gardener-operator` does now also manage `kube-state-metrics`.
The reconciliation time limit for the controller resource reconciliation, e.g. for `ManagedResource`, has been increased from `1m` to `3m`.
Upgrade to go 1.20.3
Gardener's local setup now supports bootstrapping a Seed with IPv6 single-stack networking using `make gardener-up IPFAMILY=ipv6`. See the [documentation](https://github.com/gardener/gardener/blob/master/docs/deployment/getting_started_locally.md) for more detailed steps.
A bug in grafana dashboards checking `kube-apiserver` job for `kube-controller-manager` up status is now fixed.
The `HAControlPlanes` feature gate has been promoted to beta and is now turned on by default.
Missing permissions were added for the Gardenlet service account for `Machine` objects. This fix is relevant if feature gate `MachineControllerManagerDeployment` is enabled in your landscape.
It is now possible to configure `.spec.virtualCluster.gardener.gardenerAPIServer.auditWebhook` in the `Garden` API.
The `core/v1alpha1` API version is dropped. Before upgrading to this version, make sure that there are no resources in the etcd stored in the `core/v1alpha1` API version. Otherwise, the gardener-apiserver@v1.72.0 will fail to start.
A bug is fixed that rendered the "CPU usage" panel of the "VPN" Plutono dashboard blank.
The `check-apidiff` check was changed to only report incompatible and critical changes which need inspection from the developer's side.
A bug causing the shoot provider label in the infrastructure secret to not get cleaned up is now fixed.
The admission controllers of common provider extensions are automatically installed in the local extensions development setup
The `alpha.featuregates.shoot.gardener.cloud/apiserver-sni-pod-injector` annotation has been dropped and is no longer available for `Shoot`s. It should be removed from all existing `Shoot` resources.
`gardenlet`'s `ControllerInstallation` controller now populates the feature gate of `gardenlet` via the Helm values to extensions when they are getting installed. The information is populated via the `.gardener.gardenlet.featureGates` key. It contains a map whose keys are feature gates names and whose values are booleans (depicting the enablement status).
The local deployment of Gardener is extended so that it is now possible to create a second single zone HA `Seed`. This `Seed` can be used to test the control plane migration scenario for HA `Shoot`s. Additionally, make targets were added to trigger the control plane migration integration test with HA `Shoot`s: `test-e2e-local-migration-ha-single-zone` to test the migration locally, and `ci-e2e-kind-migration-ha-single-zone` mainly intended to be used in Gardener prow jobs.
An issue has been fixed for highly-available `Shoot`s whose `etcd` clusters didn't get ready in the `Completing` phase of a CA credentials rotation.
The `gardener-operator` now enables full `NetworkPolicy` protection for the garden cluster. In case your garden cluster is a seed at the same time, make sure to keep the values of the `FullNetworkPoliciesInRuntimeCluster` feature gate in sync for both `gardener-operator` and `gardenlet`.
An issue has been fixed which might have caused the deletion of `Shoot` clusters to stuck when a namespace was forcefully removed before all relevant resources have been cleaned up.
Backup-restore waits for its etcd to be ready before attempting to update peerUrl
Updated golang container image build version to 1.20.4
The project vendors the latest released gardener version - v1.73.0
Plutono is now updated to v7.5.22
`pkg/utils/chart` does now support embedded charts. The already deprecated methods in the `ChartApplier` and `ChartRenderer` will be removed in a few releases, so extensions should adapt to embedded charts.
The `fluent-bit-vali-plugin` now supports fluent-bit v2.1.0 and above.
Block public access for S3 buckets created by integration tests.
`gardener-operator` no longer reports the `Reconciled` condition. Instead, it now reports the progress in `.status.lastOperation`, similar to how it's done for `Shoot`s.
While scaling up a non-HA etcd cluster to HA skipping the scale-up checks for first member of etcd cluster as first member can never be a part of scale-up scenarios.
The Plutono version has been updated from `v7.5.23` to `v7.5.24`.
The `eu.gcr.io/gardener-project/gardener/autoscaler/cluster-autoscaler` image has been updated from `v1.26.2` to `v1.27.0` (for Kubernetes `>= 1.27`).
The deprecated `.spec.virtualCluster.dns.domain` field has been dropped from the `Garden` API. Make use of `.spec.virtualCluster.dns.domains`.
Fixed an issue that would cause the `gardenlet` to run into `CrashLoopBackoff` when following the docs/development/getting_started_locally.md#remote-local-setup guide.
The `VerticalPodAutoscaler` resources for `kube-proxy`s is no longer recreated when the Kubernetes patch version of the `Shoot` or the respective worker pools is updated. This ensures updated `kube-proxy`s keep the same CPU/memory resource requirements as before the patch version update. In order to put this change into effect, all existing `VerticalPodAutoscaler`s for `kube-proxy`s are getting recreated.
A bug causing the gardenlet to panic when a ETCD encryption key rotation operation is triggered for a hibernated Shoot is now fixed. Now, triggering ETCD encryption key rotation or ServiceAccount signing key rotation is forbidden when the Shoot is in waking up phase.
Provider extensions should be adapted such that they only inject their provider-specific `machine-controller-manager` sidecar container into the `machine-controller-manager` deployment instead of managing the full deployment themselves. In the future, `gardenlet` will take over managing it. Please see https://github.com/gardener/gardener/pull/8019 for an example how `provider-local` was adapted and replicate it for your provider extensions.
:warning: `etcd.Status.ClusterSize`, `etcd.Status.ServiceName`, `etcd.Status.UpdatedReplicas` have been marked as deprecated and users should refrain from depending on these fields.
When `Shoot`s were updated from non high-availability to `zone` high-availability, it could happen that the control-plane was scheduled to two instead of three zones. This issue is relevant for cloud providers with an inconsistent zone naming (`Azure` is currently the only candidate to our knowledge).
Existing shoots with the before mentioned problem must be fixed manually be operators if required. An automatic move of `etcd`s and their volumes is not part of this fix due to availability reasons.
So far the `github.com/gardener/gardener/pkg/utils/managedresources.{NewForShoot,CreateForShoot}` funcs were ignoring the passed `origin` func parameter and were always using `gardener` as value. These funcs will now respect and use the passed `origin` value.
A bug has been fixed which prevented components using the `networking.resources.gardener.cloud/from-world-to-ports` annotation from being reached from internal IP addresses when the cluster was using Cilium as CNI.
The following images are updated:
- `eu.gcr.io/gardener-project/gardener/autoscaler/cluster-autoscaler`: `v1.21.4` -> `v1.21.5` (for Kubernetes `1.21`)
- `eu.gcr.io/gardener-project/gardener/autoscaler/cluster-autoscaler`: `v1.22.4` -> `v1.22.5` (for Kubernetes `1.22`)
- `eu.gcr.io/gardener-project/gardener/autoscaler/cluster-autoscaler`: `v1.23.2` -> `v1.22.3` (for Kubernetes `1.23`)
- `eu.gcr.io/gardener-project/gardener/autoscaler/cluster-autoscaler`: `v1.24.1` -> `v1.24.2` (for Kubernetes `1.24`)
- `eu.gcr.io/gardener-project/gardener/autoscaler/cluster-autoscaler`: `v1.25.1` -> `v1.25.2` (for Kubernetes `1.25`)
- `eu.gcr.io/gardener-project/gardener/autoscaler/cluster-autoscaler`: `v1.26.1`  (for Kubernetes `1.26`)
`kubectl proxy` now works as expected in the local development setup in conjunction with highly available vpn
update client-go version and exclude the old one in go.mod
⚠️ Gardener does no longer support garden, seed, or shoot clusters with Kubernetes versions < 1.22. Make sure to upgrade all existing clusters before upgrading to this Gardener version.
`gardenlet` is taking over management of the `CustomResourceDefinition`s for the `machine.sapcloud.io/v1alpha1` API group, hence extensions do no longer need to take care. Consequently, the `extensions/pkg/controller/worker.Options` struct as well as the `extensions/pkg/controller/worker.ApplyMachineResources{ForConfig}` functions are deprecated and will be removed in a future release. 
Updated go to 1.19.9
Etcd-backup-restore now uses a distroless image as its base image. It is no longer compatible with [etcd-custom-image](https://github.com/gardener/etcd-custom-image), and must be used with [etcd-wrapper](https://github.com/gardener/etcd-wrapper) instead. 
The logging e2e event logger test is now adapted to vali logging stack.
An issue has been fixed which was causing a broken `ControlPlaneHealthy` condition report for `Shoot`s when the `MachineControllerManagerDeployment` feature gate gets enabled until their next reconciliation.
The `gardener-apiserver` now drops expired `Kubernetes` and `MachineImage` versions from `Cloudprofile`s during creation.
File ownership for `var/etcd/data` will be changed to non-root user (65532).
* More categories are added to label a release note for a PR on DWD.
* Release notifications would now be sent to `gardener-dwd` channel (private) on releases.
`nginx-ingress-controller-seed` image is updated to `v1.7.1` for `1.24.x+` seeds.
`gardener-resource-manager`'s `system-components-config` webhook no longer adds the toleration for the `ToBeDeletedByClusterAutoscaler` taint to system components in shoot clusters. The `ToBeDeletedByClusterAutoscaler` taint is maintained by the `cluster-autoscaler`. This was breaking `cluster-autoscaler`'s drain mechanism when scaling down an under-utilized node. It was causing just evicted system components from to be deleted node to be scheduled again on the to be deleted node.
The `terraformer` library will now skip deletion of the Terraformer pod when the request context has been canceled. This change aims to prevent inconsistencies in Terraform state by attempting to allow uninterrupted execution of healthy Terraformer pods.
The `core/v1alpha1` API version is dropped. Make sure that you don't use the `core/v1alpha1` API version in your machinery.
The deprecated `allow-to-seed-apiserver` `NetworkPolicy` is no longer available in garden or seed clusters. Use `allow-to-runtime-apiserver` instead.
A new field `errorCodeCheckFunc` is introduced in the generic `Worker` actuator. This should be set to parse the Gardener error codes from the error returned in `Worker` reconciliation.
It is now possible to specify custom linux kernel settings per worker pool for `Shoot`s via `.spec.provider.workers[].sysctls`, which may override Gardener default values.
The following golang dependencies have been upgraded, please consult the upstream release notes and [this issue](https://github.com/gardener/gardener/issues/8382) for guidance on upgrading your golang dependencies when vendoring this gardener version:
- `k8s.io/*` to `v0.28.2`
- `sigs.k8s.io/controller-runtime` to `v0.16.2`
- `sigs.k8s.io/controller-tools` to `v0.13.0`
Update base image of `ingress-default-backend` to alpine:3.18.3
Shoot addon `nginx-ingress-controller` image is updated to `v1.8.0` for Kubernetes `v1.24+` clusters, to `v1.6.4` for Kubernetes `v1.23` clusters, and to `v1.4.0` for Kubernetes `v1.22` clusters.
`maintenance-controller` now disables `PodSecurityPolicy` admission controller when forcefully upgrading the Kubernetes version of a `Shoot` to `v1.25`. It also ensures maximum workers of each for group is greater or equal to its number of zone for forceful upgrades to `v1.27`.
Stability of the ssh tunnel in the local extension setup should improve due to better failure handling.
`gardener-operator` is now managing the Gardener control plane components (`gardener-{apiserver,admission-controller,controller-manager,scheduler}`).
Add CVE categorization for etcd-backup-restore.
Decouple progess update of gardener operator from task flow logic and thereby prevent concurrency bugs.
⚠️ Seeds' `.spec.settings.ownerChecks.enabled` field is locked to `false` (i.e. if the field value is true a validation error will be returned). Before updating to this version of Gardener, set `.spec.settings.ownerChecks.enabled` field to `false` for you Seeds and ManagedSeeds.
Webhooks remediator sets the timeoutSeonds to 3 seconds for webhook affecting lease resources in `kube-system` namespace only if there is no objectSelector provided in webhook.
The `gardenlet` and `gardener-operator` Helm charts allow to define toleration seconds for `node.kubernetes.io/not-ready` and `node.kubernetes.io/unreachable`. This configuration considered for their own Deployment as well as the Gardenlet's or Operator's config. The values are set to `60s` by default.
Update gardener/gardener to 1.77.1.
An issue has been fixed which caused CoreDNS to not rewrite CNAME values in DNS answers.
A regression was fixed that prevented deletions for shoot clusters which were created with a wrong configuration (e.g. with an unavailable domain name).
The `node-local-dns` `ConfigMap` now has a label `k8s-app=node-local-dns` for identifying it.
Several low timeouts (30s) that were introduced in v1.71.0 for several steps are now reverted as in some cases the Network/ControlPlane reconciliation cannot succeed for 30s.
Prevent fluent-bit-to-vali plugin panic when Cluster is updated and its Shoot has no lastOperation set
`gardenlet` will no longer respect `ConfigMap`s labeled with `extensions.gardener.cloud/configuration=logging`. The way to deploy a new filter or parser configuration is to create `ClusterFilter`s or `ClusterParser`s custom resources in the seed cluster.
An issue causing deletion of a legacy (wrongly configured) Shoot cluster to be denied because of network ranges overlapping with the default VPN network is now fixed.
`fluent-operator` is now installed in the `garden` namespace of seed clusters and will take care of the entire lifecycle of the `fluent-bit` `DaemonSet`.
Vali is now updated to version v2.2.6
All default images are now present in `images.yaml`
A bug preventing `prometheus` ingress to use `wildcard-certificate` is fixed.
Update `vertical-pod-autoscaler` to `v0.14.0`.
Update golang 1.19.5 -> 1.20.4
`gardener-operator` configures SNI components in order to expose the `virtual-garden-kube-apiserver` via the `istio-ingressgateway` in the Garden cluster.
With this change, operators can start to switch DNS records from the `virtual-garden-kube-apiserver` service to the `istio-ingress` service endpoint. The type of the `virtual-garden-kube-apiserver` service will soon be switched from `LoadBalancer` to `ClusterIP`.
Bump builder image golang from `1.19.5` to `1.20.2`
Deprecated annotation `alpha.featuregates.shoot.gardener.cloud/node-local-dns` is removed. Use field `.spec.systemComponents.nodeLocalDNS.enabled` in `Shoot` instead. Switching on node-local-dns via shoot specification will roll the nodes even if node-local-dns was enabled beforehand via annotation.
Base image on `telegraf` and `tune2fs` is upgraded from 3.17.2 to 3.18.0
For Shoot clusters using Kubernetes version `1.27` and higher, the `.spec.kubernetes.kubeControllerManager.podEvictionTimeout` field has no effect anymore since the backing `--pod-eviction-timeout` CLI flag has been removed.
Default log level in fluent-bit is changed from `info` to `error`
Fix network annotations to allow fluent-bit connecting to shoot Valis.
The GA-ed feature gates `SeedChange` and `CopyEtcdBackupsDuringControlPlaneMigration` have been removed.
The certificate chains served by `kube-apiserver`s does now include the CA certificates used to sign their server certificates.
An optional field `workerlessSupported` is added under `spec.resources` in the  `ControllerRegistration` API.
A new alpha feature gate named `MachineControllerManagerDeployment` has been introduced in `gardenlet`. Only enable it when all registered provider extensions in your landscape support this feature.
This PR aligns container build targets with project CI supporting multi-platform builds and simplifies overall Makefile structure.
If you are using `provider-extension` setup you should adapt your files in `example/provider-extensions/garden/controlplane` because `default-domain` and `internal-domain` secrets are removed from `gardener-controlplane` Helm chart.
`AllMembersReady` condition has now been fixed to eventually show the correct overall readiness of an etcd cluster.
Developers can now use `make gardener-debug` to start a skaffold-based debugging loop which allows remote debugging of Gardener Core pods using Delve. See the [documentation](https://github.com/gardener/gardener/blob/master/docs/deployment/getting_started_locally.md#debugging-gardener) for more details.
Add new grafana dashboard of seed deployment replicas 
Provider extensions should be adapted such that they no longer perform health checks specific to the `machine-controller-manager` deployment or the machines/nodes. In the future, `gardenlet` will take over performing these checks. Please see https://github.com/gardener/gardener/pull/8019 for an example how `provider-local` was adapted and replicate it for your provider extensions.
Gardener-based e2e test for the event-logger.
An issue causing the "cache" Prometheus in the (managed) seed's garden namespace to fail when scraping the node-exporter-s in the kube-system namespace has been fixed.
Before upgrading to this gardener version, operators should configure `gardener-apiserver` to encrypt the `internalsecrets.core.gardener.cloud` resource in etcd.
A bug is fixed in the Prometheus alert definitions that caused false positive KubePodNotReadyControlPlane alerts related to the etcd compaction job.
A new optional constraint `CRDsWithProblematicConversionWebhooks` is introduced in the `Shoot` status. This constraint indicates that there is at least one CRD in the cluster which has multiple stored versions and a conversion webhook configured, which could break the reconciliation flow of a `Shoot` in some cases.
The deprecated `identity` value is no longer passed when `ControllerInstallation` Helm charts are deployed.
Using internal API versions in `providerConfig` fields is no longer permitted (deprecated since more than `2y`). Ensure that you always use a versioned API.
On deletion, the generic `ControlPlane` actuator will now redeploy the cloud config chart to allow provider extensions update the content with the most up-to-date information.
Included `UnavailableReplicas` in determining if a machine deployment status update is needed
The `Shoot` maintenance controller now updates the CRI of worker pools from `docker` to `containerd` when force-upgrading from Kubernetes `v1.22` to `v1.23`.
Fixes for `make check` target
`gardener.cloud/operation` annotation was introduced to `seeds`. This includes a verification of its value. Please check your `seeds` for this annotation and remove it if necessary prior to the update.
Updated kubernetes dependencies from `1.25.0` to `1.26.2`
Update Prometheus job `tunnel-probe-apiserver-proxy` to fix for HA VPN mode
A bug in the local development environment has been fixed which prevented admission of Gardener resources by extension webhooks.
Update to golang v1.21
Update `k8s.io/client-go` from v0.17.0 to v0.26.2
The following image is updated:
- `quay.io/prometheus/prometheus`: `v2.43.1` -> `v2.47.0`
`gardener-operator` now takes over management of `plutono`.
It is possible now to create a workerless shoot cluster when the `WorkerlessShoots` feature gate in the `gardener-apiserver` is enabled. Please see [this document](https://github.com/gardener/gardener/blob/master/docs/usage/shoot_workerless.md) for more details.
Add `Care` reconciler to `Garden` controller in `gardener-operator`.
`default-domain`, `internal-domain`, `alerting` and `openvpn-diffie-hellman` secrets are removed from `gardener-controlplane` Helm chart. Please ensure to update them in a different way before upgrading Gardener. If you would like to prevent Helm from deleting these secret during the upgrade, you could annotate them with `"helm.sh/resource-policy": keep`.
Bump builder image golang from `1.20.4` to `1.20.6` 
Upgrade to go 1.20.3.
Update golang base container image to 1.21.0.
The `shoots/adminkubeconfig` relies on the `ca-client` `InternalSecret` only and does not use the `ShootState` object anymore.
A bug causing incorrect volume mount path for `Etcd`s and `EtcdCopyBackupsTask`s using `Local` snapshot storage provider while using distroless etcd-backup-restore image `v0.25.x` has been resolved.
Improves testing flakiness of logging testmachinery test by making the loki init-container reliable. 
The following image is updated:
- quay.io/brancz/kube-rbac-proxy: v0.14.0 -> v0.14.2
Added new option to `./hack/generate-controller-registration.sh` script `[-e, --pod-security-enforce[=pod-security-standard]` which sets the `security.gardener.cloud/pod-security-enforce` annotation of the generated `ControllerRegistration`. When not set this option defaults to `baseline`.
Bump g/g version to remove stale client-go dependency
The feature gates `FullNetworkPolicies` and `HAControlPlanes` have been promoted to GA and are now locked to "unconditionally enabled".
Configuring multiple `reserve-excess-capacity` deployments on `Seed`s is supported now by specifying `.spec.settings.excessCapacityReservation.configs`.
Eliminated `RoleBinding` helm charts and converted into Golang component with added unit tests.
Druid now exposes metrics related to snapshot compaction, on default port 8080. Please expose the desired metrics port via the etcd-druid service to allow metrics to be scraped by a Prometheus instance.
Deactivate leader election, health and readiness checks when running `make *-debug.`
Add CVE categorization for etcd-druid.
The unused `github.com/gardener/gardener/pkg/controllerutils/predicate.IsBeingMigratedPredicate`, `github.com/gardener/gardener/pkg/controllerutils/predicate.IsObjectBeingMigrated` and `github.com/gardener/gardener/pkg/utils/gardener.IsObjectBeingMigrated` funcs are now removed.
Makefile has been updated to use `Skaffold` for deploying `etcd-druid` with the `make deploy` target, simplifying the deployment process and eliminating the need to push the image to the container registry for each local development testing.
`uncachedObjects` under pkg/client/kubernetes/options.go is now removed from Config struct which is used to set options for new ClientSets. Now the uncached objects can be directly set under `clientOptions.Cache.DisableFor` field.
Following dependencies are updated:
  Go - 1.20.3 
  client-go - v0.26.2 
  controller-runtime - v0.14.5
  gomega - v1.27.1
  zap - v1.24.0 
  gardener/gardener v1.69.0
  k8s (api and apimachinery) - v0.26.2
The `ResourcesProgressing` condition appearing in the status of `ManagedResource`s now checks for non-terminated `Pod`s before reporting `status=False`.
When scaling from single-node to multi-node etcd cluster, Etcd Druid will now first ensure that any change to the peer URL (e.g TLS enablement)  is seen by the existing etcd process running within the etcd member pod. Once that is confirmed then it will scale up the Etcd StatefulSet and add relevant annotations.
The nested kubelet in the Gardener e2e tests (in prow/kind) now work on hosts using cgroupsv2
A new feature gate named `ContainerdRegistryHostsDir` is introduced to gardenlet. When enabled, the `/etc/containerd/certs.d` directory is created on the Node and containerd is configured to look up for registries/mirrors configuration in this directory (if there is any configuration applied). In future, the [registry-cache extension](https://github.com/gardener/gardener-extension-registry-cache/) will add such registries/mirrors configuration under this directory (via OperatingSystemConfig mutation).
The Istio Ingress-Gateway deployment was refined to speed up seed bootstrapping times.
etcd-custom-image updates from `v3.4.13-bootstrap-9` to `v3.4.13-bootstrap-10`
⚠️ The deprecated field `.spec.kubernetes.kubeAPIServer.enableBasicAuthentication` has been removed from the Shoot API. Please check your `Shoot`s manifests and remove the `.spec.kubernetes.kubeAPIServer.enableBasicAuthentication` field.
extension library: State update for a Worker object can be now skipped by annotating it with `worker.gardener.cloud/skip-state-update=true`.
`kubectl get garden` now features additional printer columns providing more information about the substantial configuration values and statuses.
The deprecated feature gate `APIServerSNI` has been removed.
Backup-restore waits for its etcd to be ready before attempting to update peerUrl
In order to allow `kube-apiserver` pods of shoot or garden clusters to reach webhook servers, they must no longer be explicitly labeled with `networking.resources.gardener.cloud/to-<service-name>-<protocol>-<port>=allowed`. Instead, it is enough to annotate the `Service` of the webhook server with `networking.resources.gardener.cloud/from-all-webhook-targets-allowed-ports=<ports>`.
Introduces a skaffold local development pipeline to fluent-bit-vali-plugin
Add a learner with backoff in case of scale-up feature is triggered.
A bug was fixed which was causing existing `Bastion` resources on the garden cluster to not be deleted when `SSHAccess` is disabled on a Shoot cluster.
Fixed a bug that caused HVPA reconciliation to fail with `expected pointer, but got v2beta1.MetricSpec type` when the HPA spec had changed.
Add CVE categorization for etcd-backup-restore.
The plutono dashboards are now verified as part of `make check`.
Go version is updated to 1.20.6.
Gardener now deploys the [cluster-autoscaler](https://github.com/gardener/autoscaler) earlier in the shoot reconciliation flow without checking if the worker pools are ready.
Package `pkg/utils/managedresources` now works with immutable secrets for managed resources under the hood. Existing secrets will be marked for garbage collection and replaced with immutable ones during the first reconciliation of the managed resource.
The deprecated `extensions/pkg/controller/worker.{Options,ApplyMachineResources{ForConfig}}` symbols have been dropped since `gardenlet` takes over management of the `machine.gardener.cloud/v1alpha1` API CRDs since `gardener/gardener@v1.73`.
A bug has been fixed for Istio-Ingress Gateways for seeds that use `ExposureClassHandler`s. Earlier, annotations in `seed.spec.settings.loadBalancerServices` caused an override of the ones specified in `gardenletConfiguration.exposureClassHandler[].loadBalancerService` for zonal Istios. Now, annotations in `gardenletConfiguration.exposureClassHandler[].loadBalancerService` are given priority, like it was already the case of the global Istio.

Update golang 1.19.5 -> 1.20.4
The `pkg/operation/botanist/component/*` resources have been moved to `pkg/component/*`.
`hack/generate.sh` has been renamed to `hack/generate-sequential.sh`.
The `DisablingScalingClassesForShoots` feature gate has been promoted to beta.
Following dependency has been updated:- 
- github.com/gardener/etcd-druid v0.18.1 -> v0.18.4
The kind cluster used in local setup does now use the new way in containerd to configure registry mirrors.
`Secret`s/`ConfigMap`s referenced in `.spec.resources` of `Shoot`s are now protected with a finalizer to ensure they do not disappear from the system as long as they are still referenced somewhere.
The following dependencies are updated:
- `k8s.io/*` : `v0.26.4` -> `v0.27.5`
- `sigs.k8s.io/controller-runtime`: `v0.14.6` -> `v0.15.2`
`gardenlet` no longer reports the `Bootstrapped` condition on `Seed`s. Instead, it now reports the progress in `.status.lastOperation`, similar to how it's done for `Shoot`s.
Annotation `alpha.featuregates.shoot.gardener.cloud/node-local-dns-force-tcp-to-{cluster-dns, upstream-dns}` is deprecated and will be removed in future releases. Use field `.spec.systemComponents.nodeLocalDNS.{forceTCPToClusterDNS, forceTCPToUpstreamDNS}` in `Shoot` instead.
Status of `garden` now includes the `ObservabilityComponentsHealthy` condition which show the health of observability components in the garden runtime-cluster.
All `fluent-bit`-related configuration options have been removed from `gardenlet`'s component configuration.
Gardenlet can now set feature gates for `etcd-druid`. They can be specified via the gardenlet configuration `GardenletConfiguration.EtcdConfig.FeatureGates`
`gardener-operator` now takes over management of `gardener-metrics-exporter`.
A guideline for developers regarding [`TODO` statements](https://github.com/gardener/gardener/blob/docs/master/development/process.md#todo-statements) has been introduced.
An issue has been fixed that caused traffic from outside of the cluster to `Istio-Ingress` being blocked. This is only relevant if seed(s) specify additional load balancer annotations via `seed.spec.settings.loadBalancerServices.annotations`.
It is now possible to perform control plane migration for HA shoot clusters. 
Grafana and Loki are replaced with the fork of their last Apache 2.0 licensed releases: Plutono and Vali, that will continue to receive security updates.
Added a safety check before adding a learner(non-voting) member in etcd cluster.
gardenlet: A regression preventing the alertmanager in the garden namespace from sending email notifications is now fixed.
Two additional labels `worker.gardener.cloud/image-name` and `worker.gardener.cloud/image-version` are attached to worker nodes to identify which operating system they are running. This can then be used in selectors that target only workers with a specific operating system and is helpful for e.g. driver deployment.
Etcd-druid will now deploy distroless `etcd-wrapper` and `etcd-backup-restore` images. Please refer to [etcd-wrapper](https://github.com/gardener/etcd-wrapper) for more information.
The `spec.secretBindingName`, `.spec.networking`, `.spec.networking.type`, `spec.maintenance.autoUpdate.machineImageVersion` fields in the Shoot API are now made optional to prepare for the introduction of workerless Shoots feature. Please see https://github.com/gardener/gardener/issues/7635 for more details.
The `.spec.settings.ownerChecks` field of the Seed configuration is deprecated. The "bad-case" control plane migration is being removed in favor of the HA Shoot control planes (see https://github.com/gardener/gardener/issues/6302). The field will be locked to `false` in a future version of Gardener. In this way gardenlet will clean up all owner DNSRecords. Finally, the field will be removed from the API. Set this field to `false` to be prepared for the above-mentioned locking.
The Seed's `.spec.settings.ownerChecks` field is now no-op - the `gardener-apiserver` no longer defaults this field and no longer validates it. The field will be set always to `nil` on CREATE/UPDATE request.
Gardener landscape operators specifying this field should no longer specify it. The field will be removed in a future version of Gardener.
 Allow the kubelet configuration to define swap behaviour {LimitedSwap / UnlimitedSwap} for k8s >= 1.22
Add Prometheus alert for pending seed pods
The following mapper funcs from the extension library no longer accept a `context.Context` arg - `ClusterToContainerResourceMapper`, `ClusterToControlPlaneMapper`, `ClusterToDNSRecordMapper`, `ClusterToExtensionMapper`, `ClusterToInfrastructureMapper`, `ClusterToNetworkMapper`, `ClusterToWorkerMapper` and `ClusterToObjectMapper`. The `context.Context` arg was redundant and not used.
Prometheus scrape job configs for targets in the shoot cluster have been improved.
Removed `service.beta.kubernetes.io/aws-load-balancer-type: nlb` annotation from istio-ingressgateway service template. Set this annotation in seed configuration. Note: Changing load balancer type creates a new one, old one requires manual clean-up.
The deprecated `allow-{to,from}-shoot-apiserver` `NetworkPolicy`s have been dropped. Ensure that all registered extensions have been adapted.
Shoot fields `.spec.dns.providers[].domains` and `.spec.dns.providers[].zones` are now deprecated and expected to be removed in version `v1.87`. Please plan ahead to drop using those fields in extensions.
Functions `controllerutils.GetAndCreateOrMergePatch`, `controllerutils.GetAndCreateOrStrategicMergePatch`, `controllerutils.CreateOrGetAndMergePatch` and `controllerutils.CreateOrGetAndStrategicMergePatch` were incompatibly changed and now accept a `controllerutils.PatchOption` instead of `client.MergeFromOption`.
If your controllers use one of these functions with `client.MergeFromOption`, you should update it to `controllerutils.PatchOption`.
The `controllerutils.PatchOption` can hold two options today:
- `client.MergeFromOption` which is passed to the underlying patch function.
- `controllerutils.SkipEmptyPatch` which prevents sending empty patches (`{}`).
Extensions vendoring this `gardener/gardener` version need to provide RBAC privileges for `PATCH apps/depoyments/scale`.
The following images are updated:
- `registry.k8s.io/kube-state-metrics/kube-state-metrics`: `v2.5.0` -> `v2.8.2`
Update alpine base image components to 3.18.3.
Shoot fields `.spec.dns.providers[].domains` and `.spec.dns.providers[].zones` are now deprecated and expected to be removed in version `v1.87`. Please use the extensions' configuration to configure providers with this ability.
`pkg/resourcemanager/controller/garbagecollector/references.InjectAnnotations` now also handles `pods.spec.imagePullSecrets`. 
If `gardenlet` is responsible for a managed `Seed`, it will delete all `ShootState` resources for its `Shoot`s that are not currently in migration. See also [GEP-22](https://github.com/gardener/gardener/blob/master/docs/proposals/22-improved-usage-of-shootstate-api.md) for further details about the motivation.
Gardener denies setting `Shoot.Spec.ControlPlane.HighAvailability.FailureTolerance.Type` if shoot is hibernated.
Updated go to 1.20.7
Prevent nil pointer exceptions on shoot deletion in `gardenlet` when seed namespace is gone.
The field `.spec.secretRef` in the `Seed` API has been deprecated and will be removed in a future release of Gardener.
Gardener now allows to omit or to only partially define Kubernetes versions in `Shoot`s. The version will automatically be defaulted to the latest minor and/or patch version found in the linked `CloudProfile`.
HVPA supports k8s versions >= 1.25 by switching to `k8s.io/autoscaling/v2` when necessary for all API calls.
The `.{source,target}ClientConnection.namespace` field has been renamed to `namespaces` and now takes a list of namespaces. The `.targetClientConnection.disableCachedClient` field has been removed.
Deprecated annotation `alpha.featuregates.shoot.gardener.cloud/node-local-dns-force-tcp-to-{cluster-dns, upstream-dns}` is removed. Use field `.spec.systemComponents.nodeLocalDNS.{forceTCPToClusterDNS, forceTCPToUpstreamDNS}` in `Shoot` instead.
Shoot node network and seed pod network need to be disjoint. This will be checked during scheduling of a shoot cluster, i.e. during initial admission or on control-plane migration.
Gardener sets [`minDomains`](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/scheduling-eviction/topology-spread-constraints/#spread-constraint-definition) for shoot system components to the number of zones configured in the system component worker pool(s). 
⚠️ It is strongly recommended to place at least one worker node per availability zone for system component workers in order to ensure hitch-free rolling updates and scheduling of pods. You may need to adjust the `maximum: <number-of-zones>` values of your system component worker pool(s).
This configuration only takes effect for clusters which enabled feature gate `MinDomainsInPodTopologySpread` (enabled by default as of Kubernetes `v1.27`).
The `lastUpdateTime` of extension conditions is no longer considered. Ensure that all registered extensions populate the `lastHeartbeatTime` field instead.
Since `Namespace`s are no longer deleted (and forcefully finalized after some grace period), the `shoot.gardener.cloud/cleanup-namespaces-finalize-grace-period-seconds` annotation does no longer have any effect. Relevant Kubernetes resources are still cleaned up (see [this document](https://github.com/gardener/gardener/blob/master/docs/usage/shoot_cleanup.md)) for more information.
Base alpine image upgraded from `3.15.7` to `3.15.8`
The `charts/images.yaml` file was moved to `imagevector/images.yaml`.
A bug is fixed that prevented scraping the metrics of etcd in the shoot control plane.
Probes will not be created for shoots with no workers.
An issue causing `VPN Seed (CPU| Memory) Usage` dashboards not showing data is now fixed.
If the `kubeletCSRApprover` controller is enabled, it is now mandatory to specify the namespace in the source cluster in which the `Machine` resources reside via `.controllers.kubeletCSRApprover.machineNamespace`.
Shoot addon `nginx-ingress-controller` image is updated to `v1.3.0` for `v1.22+` shoots.
Bumped up the custom image version to v3.4.13-bootstrap-11
Add failure tolerance option to the `CreateShoot` test.
Developer Action Required: The `make deploy` command has been replaced with `make deploy-via-kustomize`. Please update your deployment workflows accordingly.
Base alpine image for etcd-custom-image upgraded from `3.15.7` to `3.15.8`
Upgrade gardener/gardener from `1.65.0` to `1.76.0`
Extensions that wish to be scraped by the `seed-prometheus` must annotate their pods with `prometheus.io/scrape=true` along with `prometheus.io/name=<name>`. See https://github.com/gardener/gardener/blob/master/docs/monitoring/README.md#seed-prometheus for more details.
Removed apiserver-proxy pod webhook as it is now included in Gardener Resource Manager.
The kind clusters are now unified to use `garden.local.gardener.cloud` DNS name in the containerd config when configuring registry mirror hostnames. Previously, to access the pull through registry cache some kind clusters were configured to use `garden.local.gardener.cloud`, others - the Node name of the control plane Node.
A bug preventing `plutono` ingress to use `wildcard-certificate` is fixed.
Annotations in `GardenletConfiguration.seedConfig.metadata.annotations` are added to the `Seed` object during registration. If an annotation is removed from `seedConfig`, it is **not** removed from the `Seed` object.
The garbage collection controller now also considers managed resources when deciding if secrets/configmaps should be garbage collected.
Backupbucket/backupentry controllers: watch secret metadata only
Any resource with a kind other than `ConfigMap` or `Secret` in `.spec.resources` in `Shoot`s is now forcefully removed. New validation has been introduced to prevent adding other resources in the future.
Bump alpine base version for Docker build to `3.18.2`. 
The `shootstate-extensions` and `shootstate-secret` controllers have been dropped. The `gardenlet`'s component config file should be updated to no longer specify related configuration (`.controllers.{shootSecret,shootStateSync}`).
The `virtual-garden-kube-apiserver` service (for the `virtual-garden` cluster) was switched from type `LoadBalancer` to `ClusterIP`. Please make sure to migrate all DNS records from the `virtual-garden-kube-apiserver` to the `istio-ingressgateway` endpoint before upgrading to this Gardener version.
It is now easier to annotate `Service`s related to extensions serving webhook handlers that must be reached by `kube-apiserver`s running in separate namespaces such that the respective network traffic gets allowed. Please refer to [this guide](https://github.com/gardener/gardener/blob/master/docs/usage/network_policies.md#webhook-servers) for all information. Extensions serving shoot webhook should make use of this new approach - the old functionality deploying dedicated `NetworkPolicy`s is deprecated and will be removed in the future.
To support workerless Shoots, extensions reconciling `extensions.gardener.cloud/v1alpha1.Extension` resources need to make adaptions if needed and then set `spec.resources[].workerlessSupported` to `true` in the `ControllerRegistration` for their respective extension type.
`gardener-operator` now deploys `Istio` components into the garden runtime cluster.
`operator` now deletes `ManagedResources` deployed to the virtual-garden before deleting `virtual-garden-kube-apiserver`.
It is no longer possible to configure `.spec.virtualCluster.kubernetes.kubeAPIServer.authorization` in the `Garden` API.
Usage of the deprecated injection mechanisms in controller-runtime (like `InjectScheme`, `InjectLogger`, `InjectConfig`, `InjectClient`, `InjectCache` etc) as well as package `extensions/pkg/controller/common` are dropped in a preparation to upgrade to the next version where injection is removed entirely. With this, `Inject*` functions on controllers, predicates, actuators, delegates, and friends are not called anymore. When upgrading the `gardener/gardener` dependency to this version, all injection implementations need to be removed. As a replacement, you can get the needed clients and similar from the manager during initialisation of the component.
The GA-ed feature gates `HAControlPlanes` and `FullNetworkPoliciesInRuntimeCluster` have been removed.
The following image is updated:
- `quay.io/prometheus/alertmanager`: `v0.24.0` -> `v0.26.0`
Gardener now supports seed clusters with Kubernetes versions up to `v1.26`.
gardener-apiserver: The kubelet version constraint validation is now fixed to also cover the Shoot K8s version update. Previously it was possible to update the Shoot K8s version to a new minor version when the Shoot has a worker pool with machine image version which kubeletVersionConstraint does not match the new K8s version.
Now git revision and commit ids are properly propagated through build variables. These are showed in the fluent-bit plugin logs during start.
A new field `.spec.virtualCluster.dns.domains` was added to the `Garden` API. This field allows to expose the `kube-apiserver` of the virtual cluster via multiple domains. Earlier, the API only accepted one domain name via `.spec.virtualCluster.dns.domain`.
⚠️ With this change `.spec.virtualCluster.dns.domain` is deprecated and will be removed in the next release. Please update your `Garden` resource to the new `.spec.virtualCluster.dns.domains` field by removing the existing domain configuration from `dns.domain` and add it as the first entry of `dns.domains`.
The flags which went out-of-support in MCM v0.49.0 have been cleaned up from MCM deployment yaml.
A new controller in `gardenlet` for periodically backing up the `ShootState` for `Shoot`s has been introduced. This controller is only activated when `gardenlet` is responsible for an unmanaged `Seed` (i.e., one not backed by a `ManagedSeed` object). By default, backups are taken roughly each `6h`.
Change `log` mount path of `node-problem-detector` from `/var/log` to `/var/log/journal`.
A new alpha feature gate `DisableScalingClassesForShoots` has been introduced on `gardenlet`. If turned on, initial resource requests for `kube-apiserver`s of shoot clusters running on seed clusters which enable the `HVPA` feature gate are assigned statically and no longer by a scaling class determined by maximum node count. This helps to reduce resource waste for clusters with little usage.
Print build version and go runtime info.
An issue causing panic in the health check for extension, when the health check result is empty, is fixed.
A bug has been fixed which was causing the garbage collector in `gardener-resource-manager` to wrongfully collect `Secret`s related to `ManagedResource`s when the source and the target cluster are equal.
When the Kubernetes control plane version is at least `v1.28`, it is now possible to set the worker pool Kubernetes version to be at most three versions behind the control plane version. Earlier, only a skew of at most two versions was allowed. Find more details [here](https://kubernetes.io/blog/2023/08/15/kubernetes-v1-28-release/#changes-to-supported-skew-between-control-plane-and-node-versions).
`gardener-operator` now takes over management of `fluent-operator` and `vali`.
Added a LeaderElectionID to the controller options, allowing to run multiple instances of HVPA with leader election when `--leader-elect=true` is passed as commandline arg
The `github.com/golang/mock/gomock` dependency is replaced by `go.uber.org/mock`.
Now the vali ingress definition points to the shoot logging service.
Improves client recreate during cluster reconcile.
Introduced a new field called `machineDeploymentsLastUpdateTime` in the `Worker` status to keep track of the time when the status of the Worker resource was last updated with the latest machine deployments.
⚠️ The deprecated field `.spec.settings.ownerChecks` has been removed from the Seed API. Please check your `Seed`s and remove any usage before upgrading to this Gardener version.
The `{github.com/gardener/gardener/pkg/apis/core/helper,github.com/gardener/gardener/pkg/apis/core/v1beta1/helper}.SeedSettingOwnerChecksEnabled` will now return `false` if the corresponding Seed setting is `nil`. Previously, the func was returning `true` when the Seed setting is `nil`.
`leader-election-resource-lock` flag is dropped and the leader-election resource-lock is hard coded to leases.
It is now possible to reference `Secret`s containing kubeconfigs for admission plugins in `Shoot`s. The referenced `Secret` must be referenced in`.spec.resources` as well as in `.spec.kubernetes.kubeAPIServer.admissionPlugins[].kubeconfigSecretName`.
Added pod security enforce level `baseline` label to Istio-related namespaces. The `garden` and shoot namespaces have the `privileged` level. For extension namespaces, the new `security.gardener.cloud/pod-security-standard-enforce` annotation on  `ControllerRegistration` resources specifies the level. When set, the `extension` namespace is created with `pod-security.kubernetes.io/enforce` label set to `security.gardener.cloud/pod-security-standard-enforce`'s value.
An issue causing `state-metrics-seed` status to show down falsely has been fixed.
`gardener-operator` now refuses to start if operators attempt to downgrade or skip minor Gardener versions. Please see [this document](https://github.com/gardener/gardener/blob/master/docs/deployment/version_skew_policy.md) for more information.
The `FullNetworkPoliciesInRuntimeCluster` feature gate has been promoted to beta and is now turned on by default. Before deploying this Gardener version, make sure that all your registered extensions support this feature gate.
A bug has been fixed in the `garden/fluent-bit` that caused a failure in creating `networkpolicies` for scraping metrics.
A bug has been fixed which could cause `kube-proxy`s from being missing after a `Shoot` has been woken up from hibernation.
