v2.2.10

Release Notes:

Bug:

Starting from containerd version v2.0.0, a change in how the SystemdCgroup setting was updated for the runc options in the containerd configuration file caused the following issues:

• kube-apiserver, kube-controller-manager, and kube-scheduler kept crashing.
• High CPU load and race conditions.

Fix:

This release resolves the issue by properly setting the SystemdCgroup option in the containerd configuration file as per the recent changes, ensuring stable operation and preventing the above-mentioned issues.

v2.2.9

Release Notes:

Fix: Resolved an issue in the playbooks where until loop fails if an intermediate failure occurred while executing kubectl for pod health checks.

• This fix ensures that non-critical failures during the kubectl command execution do not interrupt the execution of the playbooks, allowing retries to proceed until the desired condition is met.
• This fix improves robustness and ensures smooth execution of playbooks even in transient failure scenarios.

Release Notes

Enhancement: Playbook Stability Improvements

• Reduced shell module usage: Replaced several instances of the shell module with the more stable command and other built-in Ansible modules. This change enhances playbook stability by minimizing reliance on shell commands and promoting idempotent operations.
• Improved task execution consistency: By avoiding shell-based commands, tasks are now more predictable, with better error handling and cross-platform compatibility.
• Advantages of Removing shell Modules:
  • Enhanced Stability: Reducing reliance on the shell module leads to more predictable behavior across different environments, as the execution is less dependent on the shell's idiosyncrasies.
  • Idempotency: Built-in Ansible modules are designed to be idempotent, ensuring that running the playbook multiple times does not change the system state if it is already configured correctly.

Bug Fixes

• YAML parsing issues: Resolved multiple instances of incorrect quoting, which were causing YAML parsing errors. Ensured that all Jinja2 expressions are properly quoted to avoid runtime errors.
• General code cleanup: Removed redundant and unstable commands that were causing intermittent issues during execution.
