Roadmap & Releases

announcements and community
#1

The expander below has instructions to try any specific release version snap. You can also find release tarballs on GitHub.

Switch to a specific Juju client, model and controller version with snaps

To try a new release of Juju, you need to upgrade the client and the controller of your model.

Upgrading the client is as easy as:

sudo snap refresh juju --classic --channel=latest/stable
# or
sudo snap refresh juju --classic --channel=latest/candidate

If you’d like to upgrade a controller to a stable release:

juju upgrade-controller <controller>

And for a candidate release:

juju upgrade-controller <controller> --agent-stream=proposed

Before attempting any controller upgrades, you should consider if you need to backup your controller.

Removal of Juju GUI

Juju GUI is no longer deployed and the --no-gui flag was dropped from juju bootstrap. The Juju Dashboard replaces the GUI and is deployed using the juju-dashboard charm.

Windows charms no longer supported

Windows charms are no longer supported.

Bionic and earlier workloads no longer supported

Only workloads on focal and later are supported.

No longer create default model on bootstrap

Running juju bootstrap no longer creates a default model. After bootstrap you can use add-model to create a new model to host your workloads.

add-k8s helpers for aks, gke, eks

The Juju add-k8s command no longer supports the options “–aks”, “–eks”, “–gke” for interactive k8s cloud registration. The strict snap cannot execute the external binaries needed to enable this functionality. The options may be added back in a future update.

Note: it’s still possible to register AKS, GKE, or EKS clusters by passing the relevant kube config to add-k8s directly.

Deprecated traditional kubernetes charms

Traditional kubernetes charms using the pod-spec charm style are deprecated in favor of newer sidecar kubernetes charms.

From juju 3.0, pod-spec charms are pinned to Ubuntu 20.04 (focal) as the base until their removal in a future major version of juju.

Rackspace and Cloudsigma providers no longer supported

Rackspace and Cloudsigma providers are no longer supported

What’s New

Juju Dashboard replaces Juju GUI

The Juju Dashboard replaces the GUI; it is deployed via the juju-dashboard charm, which needs to be integrated with the controller application in the controller model.

juju bootstrap
juju switch controller
juju deploy juju-dashboard
juju integrate controller juju-dashboard
juju expose juju-dashboard

After the juju-dashboard application shows as active, run the dashboard command:

juju dashboard

Note: the error message which appears if the dashboard is not yet ready needs to be fixed. (https://bugs.launchpad.net/juju/+bug/1994953)

Actions

The client side actions UX has been significantly revamped. See the doc here: https://juju.is/docs/olm/manage-actions

To understand the changes coming from 2.9 or earlier, see the post here: https://discourse.charmhub.io/t/juju-actions-opt-in-to-new-behaviour-from-juju-2-8/2255

Secrets

It is now possible for charms to create and share secrets across relation data. This avoids the need for sensitive content to be exposed in plain text. The feature is most relevant to charm authors rather than end users, since how charms use secrets is an internal implementation detail for how workloads are configured and managed. Nonetheless, end users can inspect secrets created by deployed charms:

https://juju.is/docs/olm/secret

https://juju.is/docs/olm/manage-secrets

Charm authors can learn how to use secrets in their charms:

https://juju.is/docs/sdk/add-a-secret-to-a-charm

https://juju.is/docs/sdk/secret-events

Juju Controller Application

The controller model has a Juju controller application deployed at bootstrap. This application currently provides integration endpoints for the Juju dashboard charm. Future work will support integration with the COS stack and others.

MongoDB server-side transactions now default

Since the move to mongo 4.4 in juju 2.9, juju now uses server-side transactions.

  • Boot failure when model-config sets snap-proxy (LP)
  • The juju export-bundle command gives error after upgrade (LP)
  • Several updates for the Raft engine that handles leases. These are steps to address (LP), though that issue is not completely resolved.

See the full list in the milestone page.

:juju: Juju 2.9.11 - 17 Aug 2021

:hammer_and_wrench: Fixes:

  • Resource downloads are very slow in some cases (LP)
  • Upgrading the mongodb snap causes controller to hang without restarting mongod (LP)
  • OpenStack provider: retry-provisioning doesn’t work for Quota exceeded for ... (LP)

See the full list in the milestone page.

:juju: Juju 2.9.10 - 03 Aug 2021

A new logging label: charmhub. To enable debugging information about Charmhub, you can now use the following:

juju model-config -m controller "logging-config='#charmhub=TRACE'"

:hammer_and_wrench: Fixes:

  • Unable to upgrade-charm a pod_spec charm to sidecar charm (LP)
  • OOM and high load upgrading to 2.9.7 (LP)
  • Controller not caching agent binaries across models (LP)
  • Bundle with local metadata v2 k8s sidecar charm fails for “metadata v1” (LP)
  • The network-get hook returns the vip as ingress address (LP)

See the full list in the milestone page.

:juju: Juju 2.9.9 - 19 Jul 2021

:hammer_and_wrench: Fixes:

  • Juju 2.9.8 tries to use an empty UID when deleting Kubernetes objects, and cannot remove applications (LP)
  • The juju-log output going to machine log file instead of unit log file in Juju 2.9.5 (LP)
  • Deployment of private charms is broken in 2.9 (was working in 2.8) (LP)
  • [Windows] Juju.exe and MicroK8s.exe bootstrap error (LP)

See the full list in the milestone page.

:juju: Juju 2.9.8 - 13 Jul 2021

This release introduces support for bootstrapping and deploying workloads to Equinix cloud. To try out the new provider:

  • Run juju update-public-clouds --client to ensure that provider API endpoint list is up to date.
  • Add a credential for the equinix cloud (juju add-credential equinix). You will need to specify your equinix project ID and provide an API key. You can use the equinix console to look up your project ID and generate API tokens.
  • Select a metro area and bootstrap a new controller. For example to bootstrap to the Amsterdam data-center you may run the following command: juju bootstrap equinix/am.

Caveats:

  • Due to substrate limitations, the equinix provider does not implement support for firewalls. As a result, workloads deployed to machines under the same project ID can reach each other even across Juju models.
  • Deployed machines are always assigned both a public and a private IP address. This means that any deployed charms are implicitly exposed and proper access control mechanisms need to be implemented to prevent unauthorized access to the deployed workloads.

This release also introduces logging labels which will help with the aggregation of logs via a label rather than a namespace.

juju model-config "logging-config='#http=TRACE'"

The above will turn on HTTP loggers to trace. This is a new UX feature to help with debugging, it’s not been full worked through Juju yet and might be subject to change.

:hammer_and_wrench: Fixes:

  • Juju fails to deploy mysql-k8s charm with its image resource (LP)
  • Juju 2.9 failing to create ClusterRoleBinding (LP)
  • Juju interprets caas-image-repo containing port number incorrectly (LP)

See the full list in the milestone page.

:juju: Juju 2.9.7 - 06 Jul 2021

:hammer_and_wrench: Fixes:

  • Juju upgrade 2.9 controller from local branch fails with wrong namespace. (LP)
  • Unit network data not populated on peer relations in sidecar charms (LP)
  • A juju refresh --switch ./local fails for metadata v1 charm (LP)
  • A migrated CaaS model will be left in the cluster after model destroyed (LP)
  • Unable to deploy postgresql-k8s charm from charmhub (LP)
  • Unable to deploy bundle with sidecar and pod_spec charms (LP)
  • IP address sometimes not set or incorrect on pebble_ready event (LP)
  • Improve juju ssh on k8s poor ux (LP)
  • Support encrypted EBS volumes for bootstrapping controllers on AWS (LP)
  • Document and support charmcraft's bundle.yaml fields (LP)
  • install hook run after juju upgrade-model 2.7.8 to 2.9.4 (LP)
  • controller fails to bring up jujud machine (LP)
  • The juju ssh --proxy command is not working on aws when targeting containers with FAN addresses (LP)
  • The juju resources revision date format uses year-date-month format instead of year-month-date (LP)
  • Using juju config with empty values erroneously resets since 2.9 (LP)

If I’m not mistaken there is no announcement on the latest releases on Launchpad yet. Would be nice to have it there, too.
