What’s New for Embedded Cluster

Added support for configuring the kubelet (Embedded Cluster 2.3.1). The Embedded Cluster Config [.inline]unsupportedOverrides[.inline] field now allows vendors to change the kubelet configuration to accommodate their apps. For example, vendors could set [.inline]maxParallelImagePulls[.inline] in the kubelet to pull images in parallel rather than serially. Or, vendors could set [.inline]maxPods[.inline] above the default limit of 110 so that all pods for the application can be run on a single node. Docs.

Automatically prompt users to enable HA (Embedded Cluster 2.3.1). The [.inline]--enable-ha[.inline] flag is removed for the [.inline]join[.inline] command. Instead, users are now automatically prompted to enable HA when joining nodes. If they decline, a new [.inline]enable-ha[.inline] command is available that they can use to enable HA later. Docs.

What’s New for the Replicated SDK

Added support for several new configuration options through Helm values. The Replicated SDK Helm values are updated to provide support for various configuration options, such as setting custom annotations across all resources with the [.inline]commonAnnotations[.inline] value, configuring container resource requirements with the [.inline]resources[.inline] value, mounting custom volumes with the [.inline]extraVolumes[.inline] and [.inline]extraVolumeMounts[.inline] Helm values, and more. For documentation on all configuration options, see values.yaml in the replicated-sdk repository in GitHub.

What’s New for Product Documentation

Embedded Cluster troubleshooting topic. A new Troubleshooting Embedded Cluster page includes consolidated information about how to generate the Embedded Cluster support bundle, access the cluster with kubectl, view Embedded Cluster/k0s logs, and workaround common issues. Docs.

Added dropdown to open or copy the markdown version of each docs page. Each page in the Replicated docs site now includes a dropdown that can be used to open the markdown version of the page in a new chat session with ChatGPT, or view and copy the markdown for use with other LLMs. This provides an easy way for users to share Replicated docs pages as context when chatting with an LLM, in the format that’s easiest for the LLM to process. It also provides an easy way for vendors to copy content from the Replicated docs site into their own docs as needed.
