DevOps Toolchain

This update enhances the overall security and stability of the toolchain, which includes the following:

  • Alauda Build of Gitlab

  • Alauda Build of Harbor

  • Alauda Build of SonarQube

  • Alauda Build of Nexus

Breaking Changes

  • For Alauda DevOps Connectors v1.6, Remove the input.xxx variable from spec.auth.types[].generator.rego. Use input.data.xxx instead.

Fixed Issues

  • Before this update, when Harbor was deployed in an ARM environment, image scans would fail with a scan error. With this update, this issue is resolved and Harbor can now successfully scan images when deployed in an ARM environment.
  • Before this update, Harbor exposed sensitive information through environment variables, which did not comply with Kubernetes security guidelines (STIG ID: V-242415). With this update, sensitive information is no longer present in environment variables, resolving the security issue and ensuring compliance with the Kubernetes STIG requirements.
  • Before this update, when deploying GitLab in high availability mode, the praefect component did not have default resource requests and limits configured, which could lead to resource contention or unpredictable scheduling behavior. With this update, the praefect component includes default resource settings with requests of 500m CPU and 500Mi memory, and limits of 2 CPU and 2Gi memory.

Known Issues

No issues in this release.
