v0.7.0

Important

• Release tested with the latest versions of Cloud Hypervisor and Firecracker.
• For Firecracker ensure you enable PCI support: CONFIG_PCI=y
• The Weaveworks fork of Firecracker is no longer supported. If you require macvtap then consider creating your microvm using Cloud Hypervisor.
• Image-builder still needs updating. Until then the following images have been tested:
  • ghcr.io/liquidmetal-dev/firecracker-kernel:6.1
  • ghcr.io/liquidmetal-dev/firecracker-kernel:5.10
  • ghcr.io/liquidmetal-dev/cloudhypervisor-kernel:6.2

The project needs you! How the project has moved to community ownership we need more contributors. Please reach out if you can help.

v0.6.0

What's Changed

Flintlock now supports creating microVMs with Cloud Hypervisor in addition to Firecracker 🎉

The default when creating a microVM is still Firecracker. However, you can change this default when starting Flintlock by using the --default-provider flag:

flintlock --default-provider cloudhypervisor

When creating a microVM it will use the default provider, however, you can optionally supply the provider to use in the request.

Additional Notes

TLS Support

This release includes support for TLS.

When starting flintlock it is advised that you specify the certificate & key to use for TLS via the --tls-cert and --tls-key arguments. You also have the option to enable client certification authentication via the --tls-client-validate and --tls-client-ca flags.

You can start flintlock without TLS support by using the --insecure flag. Although, this is only advised for development type environments.

If you need an example of how to generate certificates locally, take a look at gen_local_certs.sh

Removal of MountPoint from API

The MountPoint field on the Volume has been removed in this version. Please update any clients that use flintlock to remove MountPoint.

v0.1.0-alpha.9

🚨 This is an ALPHA RELEASE and as such it may be hard to run. Please only use it for testing purposes. If you find any bugs or want to suggest features, then file an issue.
