1.57.0
Released on 22 Nov 2021 • Support for Kubernetes: 1.19, 1.20, and 1.21
New Features
- Installing with Native Helm is generally available (GA). This workflow provides the ability to have the admin console work directly with Helm to install and manage chart resources, including support for hook weights and most Helm hooks. The existing workflow with Helm is renamed to Installing with Replicated KOTS and is still available for use. Any charts currently deployed to application instances will be unaffected by this change. Any new charts are eligible to use the Native Helm workflow.
Improvements
- Weave Net container logs are now included in the default KOTS support bundle.
Bug Fixes
- Fixes a bug that prevented garbage collection of unused images from working in an embedded cluster when the registry is backed by a Rook Ceph object store.
- Fixes a bug with Native Helm that caused Kustomize “resource not found” errors when supplying multiple Helm charts with the same name prefix.
- Fixes a bug associated with Config Item dependencies not being discovered when combining Replicated and non-Replicated template functions.
- Fixes a bug that would show the “Send bundle to vendor” button while installed in an airgap environment.
- Increases the timeout for the kotsadm-postgres readiness probe.
- Fixes a Helm issue that prevented charts with empty sub-charts/dependencies from deploying.
- Fixes stuck Postgres pod in KOTS v1.56.0 caused by additional security contexts. The strict security contexts can now be enabled during admin console install and upgrade by using the
strict-pod-security flag.
1.56.0
Released on 4 Nov 2021 • Support for Kubernetes: 1.19, 1.20, and 1.21
New Features
- From the Troubleshoot tab in the admin console, you can view some detailed information (such as logs, events, etc.) for each unhealthy pod in the Support bundle analysis view.
Improvements
- KOTS resources now provide an explicit security context per pod and container, along with a seccomp profile (
runtime/default). This allows for policy validation through tools such as OPA Gatekeeper. KOTS containers use a read-only root filesystem, do not run as the root user or group, and do not require privileged escalation.
- Added more default analyzers for Kubernetes objects.
Bug Fixes
- To fix errors related to duplicate YAML keys, the version of Kustomize was reverted to 3.8.10 from 3.10.0.
- Fixed a bug that caused Weave analyzers to show Weave errors on installs that don’t use Weave.
- Fixed a bug that masked the “License expired” message when sharing a support bundle with a vendor.
- Fixed a bug on the admin console license page where the “Sync License” button was misaligned.
1.55.0
Released on 22 Oct 2021 • Support for Kubernetes: 1.19, 1.20, and 1.21
New Features
- For licenses with the “Support Bundle Upload” feature enabled, you can upload a support bundle from the admin console directly from the Troubleshoot tab.
Improvements
- Updated the Kustomize version from 3.5.4 to 3.10.0.
- Updated the Helm version from 3.4.2 to 3.7.1.
1.54.0
Released on 18 Oct 2021 • Support for Kubernetes: 1.19, 1.20, and 1.21
New Features
- Upgraded Troubleshoot version to 0.16.0, which enables users to write host preflights with a collector and analyzer for the operating system distribution and kernel version.
Improvements
- Switched the names of the “Application” and “Dashboard” navigation tabs in the admin console. This is a more intuitive organization. “Application” is now in the top-level navigation menu, and “Dashboard” is in the “Application” subnavigation menu.
Bug Fixes
- Helm charts now get the proper Kustomization for images and pull secrets at each chart level when using the beta Helm install feature.
1.53.0
Released on 8 Oct 2021 • Support for Kubernetes: 1.19, 1.20, and 1.21
New Features
- Troubleshoot is updated to v0.15.0, which includes an added default
sysctl collector and analyzers on embedded clusters (introduced in v0.14.0), and an improved ceph analyzer that reports disk usage on failures.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed an issue in automated installs where a non-configurable application was not automatically deployed when the preflights were skipped.
1.52.1
Released on 4 Oct 2021 • Support for Kubernetes: 1.19, 1.20, and 1.21
Bug Fixes
- Fixed an issue with the Helm rendering workflow beta where private image Kustomize targets inside of Helm charts failed when sub-charts were present.
- Changed preflight check logs to
info level for progress messages and to error level for error messages.
- Fixed a bug that caused the Admin Console memory usage to increase significantly while collecting the support bundle.
- Fixed an issue with the Helm rendering workflow beta where Chart.yaml and Chart.lock files were being ignored and lost for nested sub-charts.
1.52.0
Released on 24 Sep 2021 • Support for Kubernetes: 1.19, 1.20, and 1.21
New Features
- Added the ability to force image garbage collection via the KOTS CLI even if rollback is enabled for the application by passing the
--ignore-rollback flag.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed a beta Helm hooks bug where resources failed to pull images if the resource had a negative Hook Weight value.
- Fixed a bug that caused image garbage collection to fail on embedded clusters.
- Fixed a bug that caused collecting cluster resources for the support bundle to fail in installations that require minimal RBAC priviliges.
- Fixed a bug that caused applications with an image pull secret name hardcoded as
kotsadm-replicated-registry to fail to deploy.
1.51.0
Released on 22 Sep 2021 • Support for Kubernetes: 1.19, 1.20, and 1.21
New Features
- Added the ability to check the status of each individual status informer from the Application tab.
- The default support bundle spec includes a new analyzer for the Weave report.
Bug Fixes
- Installing or updating an application will now fail over to
kubectl create or kubectl patch when the YAML metadata is too large for kubectl apply.
- Fixed a bug that caused KOTS to fail when copying/transferring images to an Amazon Elastic Container Registry (ECR) repository using instance roles.
- Fixed a bug that caused template functions other than Static Context to not render correctly in support bundle specs.

- Fixed a bug that required the registry namespace to be provided in airgapped existing cluster installs and upgrades even though it’s an optional flag.
- Fixed a bug in the Admin Console license page where the “Sync License” button was misaligned.
