KubeEdge SIG Release

On July 1, 2023, KubeEdge released v1.14. The new version introduces several enhanced features, significantly improving security, reliability, and user experience.

v1.14 What's New​

Release Highlights​

Support Authentication and Authorization for Kube-API Endpoint for Applications On Edge Nodes​

The Kube-API endpoint for edge applications is implemented through MetaServer in edegcore. However, in previous versions, the authentication and authorization of Kube-API endpoint are performed in the cloud, which prevents authentication and authorization especially in offline scenarios on the edge node.

In this release, the authentication and authorization functionalities are implemented within the MetaServer at edge, which allows for limiting the access permissions of edge applications when accessing Kube-API endpoint at edge.

Refer to the link for more details. (#4802)

Support Cluster Scope Resource Reliable Delivery to Edge Node​

The cluster scope resource can guarantee deliver to the edge side reliably since this release, especially include using list-watch global resources, the cluster scope resource can be delivered to the edge side reliably, and the edge applications can work normally.

Refer to the link for more details. (#4758)

Upgrade Kubernetes Dependency to v1.24.14​

Upgrade the vendered kubernetes version to v1.24.14, users are now able to use the feature of new version on the cloud and on the edge side.

备注

The dockershim has been removed, which means users can't use docker runtime directly in this release.

Refer to the link for more details. (#4789)

Support Kubectl Attach to Container Running on Edge Node​

KubeEdge already support kubectl logs/exe command, kubectl attach is supported in this release. kubectl attach command can attach to a running container at edge node. Users can execute these commands in the cloud and no need to operate on the edge nodes.

Refer to the link for more details. (#4734)

Alpha version of KubeEdge Dashboard​

KubeEdge dashboard provides a graphical user interface (GUI) for managing and monitoring your KubeEdge clusters. It allows users to manage edge applications running in the cluster and troubleshoot them.

Refer to the link for more details. (https://github.com/kubeedge/dashboard)

Important Steps before Upgrading​

  • On KubeEdge v1.14, EdgeCore has removed the dockeshim support, so users can only use remote type runtime, and uses containerd runtime by default. If you want to use docker runtime, you must first set edged.containerRuntime=remote and corresponding docker configuration like RemoteRuntimeEndpoint and RemoteImageEndpoint in EdgeCore, then install the cri-dockerd tools as docs below: https://github.com/kubeedge/kubeedge/issues/4843

KubeEdge SIG Release

The KubeEdge community is thrilled to announce the release of KubeEdge v1.12! This release introduces several exciting new features and enhancements, including alpha implementation of the next-generation Cloud Native Device Management Interface (DMI), a new version of the lightweight Edged engine, high-availability mode for EdgeMesh, edge node upgrades from the cloud, authorization for the Edge Kube-API endpoint, and more.

What's New in KubeEdge v1.12​

Alpha Implementation of Next-Gen Cloud Native Device Management Interface (DMI)​

DMI makes KubeEdge's IoT device management more pluggable and modular in a cloud-native way, covering Device Lifecycle Management, Device Operation, and Device Data Management.

  • Device Lifecycle Management: Simplifies IoT device lifecycle management, making it as easy as managing a pod.

  • Device Operation: Provides the ability to operate devices through the Kubernetes API.

  • Device Data Management: Separates device data management from device management, allowing data to be consumed by local applications or synchronized to the cloud through a special tunnel.

Next-Gen Edged Graduates to GA: Suitable for More Scenarios​

The new version of the lightweight Edged engine, optimized from Kubelet and integrated into EdgeCore, has graduated to General Availability (GA) in this release. The new Edged will continue to communicate with the cloud through a reliable transmission tunnel, making it suitable for a wider range of scenarios.

Introducing High-Availability Mode for EdgeMesh​

KubeEdge v1.12 introduces a high-availability mode for EdgeMesh. Unlike the previous centralized relay mode, the EdgeMesh HA mode can set up multiple relay nodes. When some relay nodes fail, other relay nodes can continue to provide relay services, avoiding single points of failure and improving system stability.

Support Edge Node Upgrade from the Cloud​

KubeEdge v1.12 introduces the NodeUpgradeJob v1alpha1 API to upgrade edge nodes from the cloud. With this API and its associated controller, users can upgrade selected edge nodes from the cloud and roll back to the original version if the upgrade fails.

Support Authorization for Edge Kube-API Endpoint​

Authorization for the Edge Kube-API Endpoint is now available in KubeEdge v1.12. Third-party plugins and applications that depend on Kubernetes APIs on edge nodes must use a bearer token to communicate with the kube-apiserver via the HTTPS server in MetaServer.

New GigE Mapper​

KubeEdge v1.12 includes a new GigE Device Mapper with a Golang implementation, which is used to access GigE Vision protocol cameras.

Important Steps Before Upgrading​

  • If you want to upgrade KubeEdge to v1.12, the configuration file in EdgeCore has been upgraded to v1alpha2. You must modify your configuration file for Edged in EdgeCore to adapt to the new Edged.

  • If you want to use authorization for the Edge Kube-API Endpoint, please enable the RequireAuthorization feature through the feature gate in both CloudCore and EdgeCore. If the RequireAuthorization feature is enabled, MetaServer will only serve HTTPS requests.

  • If you want to upgrade EdgeMesh to v1.12, you do not need to deploy the existing EdgeMesh-server, but you need to configure relayNodes.

  • If you want to run EdgeMesh v1.12 on KubeEdge v1.12 and use HTTPS requests to communicate with KubeEdge, you must set kubeAPIConfig.metaServer.security.enable=true.

KubeEdge v1.12 brings exciting new features and improvements to the edge computing ecosystem. We invite you to explore the release and provide feedback to the community. Happy edge computing!

KubeEdge SIG Release

On Jun 21, 2022 KubeEdge released v1.11, introducing several exciting new features and enhancements that significantly improve node group management, mapper development, installation experience, and overall stability.

v1.11 What's New​

Release Highlights​

Node Group Management​

Users can now deploy applications to several node groups without writing deployment for every group. Node group management helps users to:

  • Manage nodes in groups

  • Spread apps among node groups

  • Run different versions of app instances in different node groups

  • Limit service endpoints in the same location as the client

Two new APIs have been introduced to implement Node Group Management:

  • NodeGroup API: represents a group of nodes that have the same labels.
  • EdgeApplication API: contains the template of the application organized by node groups, and the information on how to deploy different editions of the application to different node groups.

Refer to the links for more details (#3574, #3719).

Mapper SDK​

Mapper-sdk is a basic framework written in Go. Based on this framework, developers can more easily implement a new mapper. Mapper-sdk has realized the connection to KubeEdge, provides data conversion, and manages the basic properties and status of devices, etc., as well as basic capabilities and abstract definition of the driver interface. Developers only need to implement the customized protocol driver interface of the corresponding device to realize the function of mapper.

Refer to the link for more details (#70).

Beta sub-commands in Keadm to GA​

Some new sub-commands in Keadm have moved to GA, including containerized deployment, offline installation, etc. The original init and join behaviors have been replaced by the implementation from beta init and beta join:

  • CloudCore will be running in containers and managed by Kubernetes Deployment by default.

  • Keadm now downloads releases that are packed as container images to edge nodes for node setup.

  • init: CloudCore Helm Chart is integrated into init, which can be used to deploy containerized CloudCore.

  • join: Installing edgecore as a system service from a Docker image, no need to download from the GitHub release.

  • reset: Reset the node, clean up the resources installed on the node by init or join. It will automatically detect the type of node to clean up.

  • manifest generate: Generate all the manifests to deploy the cloud-side components.

Refer to the link for more details (#3900).

Deprecation of original init and join​

The original init and join sub-commands have been deprecated as they had issues with offline installation, etc.

Refer to the link for more details (#3900).

  • config images list: List all images required for kubeedge installation.

  • config images pull: Pull all images required for kubeedge installation.

Refer to the links for more details. (#3517, #3540, #3554, #3534)

Preview version for Next-gen Edged: Suitable for more scenarios​

A new version of the lightweight engine Edged, which is optimized from kubelet and integrated in edgecore, and occupies less resource. Users can customize lightweight optimization according to their needs.

Refer to the links for more details. (Dev-Branch for previewing: feature-new-edged)

Edgemark: Support large-scale KubeEdge cluster performance testing​

Edgemark is a performance testing tool inherited from Kubemark. The primary use case of Edgemark is also scalability testing, it allows users to simulate edge clusters, which can be much bigger than the real ones.

Edgemark consists of two parts: real cloud part components and a set of "Hollow" Edge Nodes. In "Hollow" Edge Nodes, EdgeCore runs in container. The edged module runs with an injected mock CRI part that doesn't do anything. So the hollow edge node doesn't actually start any containers, and also doesn't mount any volumes.

Refer to the link for more details. (#3637)

EdgeMesh proxy tunnel supports quic​

Users can choose edgemesh's proxy tunnel as quic protocol to transmit data. In edge scenarios, nodes are often in a weak network environment. Compared with the traditional tcp protocol, the quic protocol has better performance and QoS in the weak network environment.

Refer to the link for more details. (#281)

EdgeMesh supports proxy for udp applications​

Some users' services use the udp protocol, and now edgemesh can also support the proxy of udp applications.

Refer to the link for more details. (#295)

EdgeMesh support SSH login between cloud-edge/edge-edge nodes​

Edge nodes are generally distributed in the Private network environment, but it is often necessary to ssh login and operate the edge node. EdgeMesh provide a socks5proxy based on the tunnel inside EdgeMesh, which supports forwarding ssh requests from cloud/edge nodes to edge nodes.

Refer to the links for more details. (#258, #242)
