Roadmap & Releases

jnsgruk · 8 September 2022 09:45

Check out the public roadmap for Juju and the charmed operator framework!

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.

See the full list in the milestone page.

Juju 2.9.25 - 24 Feb 2022

This release is significant because it transitions to using the juju-db snap from the 4.4/stable channel (running mongodb 4.4.11 at the time of writing) for newly bootstrapped controllers. NB the juu-db snap is not used if the default series is changed from focal to an earlier vrsion. Existing controllers which are upgraded to this release will not change the mongo currently in use.

Fixes:

Juju trust not working for K8s charm(LP)
cannot migration nor upgrade without manual intervention for a machine after a container is removed- (LP1960235 )
- On machines exhibiting the above behavior, the agents will show as lost during the upgrade, you must kill the jujud process on the machine. This allow it to be restarted and continue the upgrade.
- Also seen on machine’s having an LXD container which haven’t been removed.
destroy model fails if there’s a relation to offered application (LP)
Sidecar charm get stuck if PodSpec charm with same name was deployed previously (LP)

[Windows] Juju.exe and MicroK8s.exe bootstrap error (LP)

See the full list in the milestone page.

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.

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 2.9.7 - 06 Jul 2021

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)
