New metrics introduced:
- api_request_duration_seconds -> tracks time taken for successful invocation of provider APIs. This metric can be filtered by provider and service.
- driver_request_duration_seconds -> tracks total time taken to successfully complete driver method invocation. This metric can be filtered by provider and operation.
- driver_requests_failed_total -> records total number of failed driver API requests. This metric can be filtered by provider, operations and error_code.
The following golang dependencies have been upgraded :
- `gardener/gardener` to `v1.80.3`
- `k8s.io/*` to `v0.28.2`
- `sigs.k8s.io/controller-runtime` to `v0.16.2`
Always set the `vmType` in cloud-provider configuration files.
A bug which caused an empty `vmType` under certain conditions has been fixed. Empty `vmType`s prevent load balancers from being deleted on Kubernetes v1.28 shoots.
Force drain and delete volume attachments for nodes un-healthy due to `ReadOnlyFileSystem` and `NotReady` for too long
Makefile targets have changed: Introduced gardener-setup, gardener-restore, gardener-local-mcm-up, non-gardener-setup, non-gardener-restore, non-gardener-local-mcm-up. Users can also directly use the scripts which are used by these makefile targets.
Fix failing validation when overlay config is empty.
An edge case where outdated DesiredReplicas annotation blocked a rolling update is fixed.
Add readiness check for snapshot validation webhook
Added `errorCode` field in the `LastOperation` struct. This should be implemented only for the `CreateMachine` call in the `triggerCreationFlow`. This field will be utilized by Cluster autoscaler to do early backoff
An issue causing nil pointer panic on scaleup of the machinedeployment along with trigger of rolling update, is fixed
The provider-azure extension does now support shoot clusters with Kubernetes version 1.28. You should consider the [Kubernetes release notes](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/blob/master/CHANGELOG/CHANGELOG-1.28.md) before upgrading to 1.28.
status.Status now captures underline cause, allowing consumers to introspect the error returned by the provider. WrapError() function could be used to wrap the provider error
`provider-azure` no longer supports Shoots or Seeds with Кubernetes version < 1.24.
`provider-azure` extension now supports [Shoot Force Deletion](https://github.com/gardener/gardener/blob/master/docs/usage/shoot_operations.md#force-deletion).
Update `k8s.io/client-go` from `v0.26.3` to `v0.26.4` to resolve panic on health-checking special shoots.
The default `machine-safety-orphan-vms-period` has been reduced from 30m to 15m.
