v1.0.1 is out!

[jotak]

A few words before jumping to the traditional release note

This release contains mostly bug fixes and doc adjustments, after the 1.0.0 release that was shipped last week...
But wait, where is 1.0.0?

You won't find it here on GitHub. On January 18th we released our Network Observability operator as an official Red Hat operator alongside OpenShift 4.12, support included, as our 1.0.0 for its general availability. Like many other software at Red Hat, we will continue to deliver versions both upstream (here, as a community operator) and downstream, for OpenShift customers. They are based on the same code, with minor cosmetic differences (e.g. the name differs) and a few changes in the build processes (e.g. different base docker images). However the releases might not always be in sync: in general, the upstream is ahead of the downstream - like CentOS stream is ahead of RHEL. In fact, the previous release 0.2.2 was almost identical to the 1.0.0 shipped downstream.

In parallel of the formal integration with OpenShift, as a mirroring effect, Network Observability (a.k.a NetObserv) was also introduced in the OKD documentation. OKD is the community twin of OpenShift. If you are not (yet?) an OpenShift customer but want to try NetObserv full-featured, including with its OpenShift Console plugin, you can give it a try with OKD!

Non-OpenShift users are of course welcome here, all flow generation, collection, storage in Loki works on other Kubernetes flavours - only the OpenShift Console would be missing for you (unless you want to roll up your sleeves and contribute), but you can also get a lot from Loki and Grafana anyway.

Contributor news

• This release sees a first contribution from @shach33, who worked with @praveingk to add TCP flags to the flows.
• @nathan-weinberg made his first direct contribution to update the operator manifests (but is already contributing a lot by other means!).
• This is also the last release that has contributions from @mariomac as a core team member. Thanks for all your past contributions Mario, and glad that you stay in the open-source landscape!
