KubeBlocks v0.8.0

KubeBlocks 0.8.0 (2024-01-12)

Exciting news! KubeBlocks v0.8.0 is officially released! 🚀 🎉 🎈

KubeBlocks v0.8.0 takes a big step forward in user experience by introducing component-level APIs, which makes standardized building blocks even smaller and more convenient to be reused.

For example, popular meta-database components like ETCD and ZK, which are widely used in various database clusters, now can be directly referenced after component modularization.
We also made Vitess Proxy a standard component, so that developers do not need to repeat their work (heavy lifting) when defining the read-write separation topology of MySQL or PostgreSQL engines in various distributions.

Further, the Addon mechanism has also been significantly improved. The helm chart of the database engine has been split from the KubeBlocks repo. From then on, changes in the database engine or version have been unbound from the KubeBlocks release.

Highlights

Independent Component API

When integrating the new database engine, we found deficiencies in the abstract design of KubeBlocks. v0.8.0 splits Component from Cluster definition to better support database types with multiple components. It supports variable references between Components, including ConfigMap, Secret, Service, ServiceReference and other variable reference types, which can better connect the relationships between components and lay the foundation for building clusters with different topologies.

Remove the addon helm chart from KubeBlocks repo

In previous versions, Helm charts for database engines were located in the "deploy" directory, tightly coupled with the KubeBlocks Operator. However, this caused two problems: first, upgrading KubeBlocks would trigger the upgrade of the database engine; second, upgrading the database engine would overwrite existing CD/CV, restarting all the clusters.

To address these problems, KubeBlocks v0.8.0 has placed the database engines into a standalone repository called "kubeblocks-addon", with version numbers added for both the database engines and associated resources. This ensures that new installations do not overwrite existing resources, thereby eliminating cluster restarts. And KubeBlocks provides the "kbcli addon" command, which allows users to download, install, use, and uninstall specific engine versions.

Supports multiple versions of database engine definitions

Prior to v0.8.0, KubeBlocks upgrades might trigger a restart of the database cluster. KubeBlocks v0.8.0, with the new Component API and Addon helm chart storage mechanism, this problem has been solved to a certain extent. We will continue to optimize the design of multiple versions in the future, and ultimately achieve burden-free upgrades.

What's Changed

New features

Pika

Supports multiple Pulsar clusters that can share a zookeeper component. #5823

Clickhouse

Integrates monitoring, scale-out and high availability. #5784

Oceanbase

Adds new active and standby cluster modes to support the complete life cycle and integrate backup, restore, monitoring and switching

MySQL

The Community Edition of MySQL 5.7 and 8.0 supports a full lifecycle with integrated backup recovery, monitoring, and HA.
Adds log audit function on ApeCloud MySQL.

PostgreSQL

Postgresql supports wal-g full backup and PITR. #180

OpsRequest

Supports custom OpsRequest, enabling specific operational actions. For example, creating and deleting Kafka topics.

NodePort

Enables NodePort access for Redis.

Compatibility

Compatible with the pre-refactored ClusterDefinition and ClusterVersion APIs.

Usability

opsRequest supports task queuing, allowing users to submit multiple tasks at once. For tasks that cannot run concurrently, the system will automatically execute the next task after the previous one is completed #5887
During KubeBlocks installation, specifying the image repository address is now possible, speeding up image pull.

Observability

Unifies configuration and management for logs and metrics collection.

API

Adds interface definition in ComponentDefinition #5031
Adds OpsDefinition API #5940
Adds PreDelete Action for ActionSet . You can perform this action before deleting backup. #6361
Stability
Stability testings and related improvements.[wip]Kubeblocks Fault Test

kbcli

Enhances addon sub-command, you can install the addon from the index repository.

Incompatible changes

In KubeBlocks 0.8.0, we have made improvements to Oceanbase (adding functions like creating master/standby clusters, support host network and dynamic ports, support backup/restore, monitoring, logging, etc.), the clusters created in version 0.7.0 are incompatible with those in version 0.8.0, so if you are using the 0.7.0 version to manage Oceanbase, you are recommended to upgrade to the 0.8.0 version of KubeBlocks. Upgrade KubeBlocks first, then upgrade Oceanbase Addon. It is recommended to use OceanBase official data import and export tools (OBLOADER and OBDUMPER) to migrate data.
KubeBlocks 0.8.0 streamlines the data engines installed by default when deploying KubeBlocks by removing greptime, influxdb, neon, oracle-mysql, oroledb, tdengine, mariadb, nebula, risingwave, starrocks, tidb, zookeeper. You can install them on-demand from the addon indexing repository with the kbcli addon subcommand or the kubectl apply command; if you are upgrading from a lower version, follow the upgrade manual to avoid deleting addons that are in use, which may affect running clusters.
The Helm Chart of KubeBlocks 0.8.0 no longer contains dependent CRDs. When installing or upgrading KubeBlocks with the helm command, you need to install the corresponding CRDs before installing or upgrading KubeBlocks, please refer to the upgrade manual for details.

KubeBlocks v0.7.0

KubeBlocks 0.7.0 (2023-11-06)

We're thrilled to announce the official release of KubeBlocks v0.7.0! 🚀 🎉 🎈

This version supports the function of referencing external components, making it possible to assemble building blocks - add-ons more flexibly.

Backup is decoupled from the cluster with a separate API, and three new object storage services from public cloud providers are added as backup storage options.

Thanks to the support of our community, KubeBlocks has included 31 open-source database engines, including MariaDB, Elasticsearch, Pulsar, Pika and more, providing more choices for you.

We would like to extend our appreciation to all contributors who helped make this release happen.

Highlights

Support referencing external components

The new feature of referencing external components brings greater flexibility to KubeBlocks clusters, allowing them to be assembled like building blocks to create new clusters. Currently, this function can be applied to two scenarios. Firstly, you can reference external components, such as external Zookeeper, that are not created and managed by KubeBlocks. You just need to define the service description and Kubernetes deployment is not required. Another scenario is that clusters created by KubeBlocks can be referenced as components by other clusters. For example, a Redis Sentinel cluster can be referenced by other Redis Replication clusters for managing high-availability.

Decouple cluster and backup #4877, #4494

The backup policy supports customizing backup methods, allowing you to specify a backup method when creating a backup. The BackupTool has been replaced with the ActionSet CRD, which defines actions for backup and restore. Three new object storage services, GCS, OBS, and COS, have been added as backup storage options. Besides, BackupSchedule is added to decouple automatic scheduling configurations from BackupPolicy that can be used for both automatic and manual backup.

Support Pika v3.5

Pika, developed by Qihoo, is an open-source NoSQL database that is compatible with Redis interfaces such as string, hash, list, zset, and set operations. It offers a cost advantage in 100 GB level and larger data volumes. Switching from Redis to Pika is seamless, as it maintains the same usage and operation habits. Currently, KubeBlocks has already supported deploying the sharded cluster mode from Pika v3.5. After a cluster is created by KubeBlocks, Pika is automatically added to the Codis cluster with rebalancing applied. KubeBlocks can also automatically manage Pika Primary-Secondary clusters, which can automatically add one primary with one or multiple secondaries.
