The Apache CloudStack project is pleased to announce the release of CloudStack Kubernetes Provider v1.3.0 that facilitates Kubernetes deployments on CloudStack.

It allows Kubernetes to dynamically allocate IP addresses and the respective networking rules on CloudStack to ensure seamless TCP, UDP and TCP-Proxy LoadBalancer deployments on Kubernetes. This was historically part of the Kubernetes codebase which was later removed and donated to the project to allow for further maintenance of the provider plugin.

This release contains various bug fixes and improvements. Some of the highlighted features include:

• Support for load balancer stickiness policies
• CloudStack version detection that works with non-admin accounts, and an optional version setting
• Separate Network ACL rules for each Service on VPC networks
• In-place updates of load balancer rules when the proxy protocol is turned on or off
• Support for environments with more VMs than the CloudStack API returns in one page
• End-to-end tests against the CloudStack simulator in CI

If your load balancers are on VPC networks, read the upgrade notes before upgrading.
