Hi! We're happy to announce that Tarook v15.0.0 [1][2] has been published! Some notable changes, amongst others: * Calico is now deployed in eBPF dataplane mode. o Clusters with IPv6 enabled previously were configured to use the ipvs mode of kube-proxy which got deprecated with Kubernetes v1.35 [3]. Due to that deprecation, changes to the CNI setup were necessary. Calico's eBPF dataplane mode has been chosen due to its performance benefits. A migration path for existing clusters has been implemented. o kube-proxy is disabled by default now as it interferes with Calico running in eBPF dataplane mode. * When upgrading an existing cluster to this release, changes to the cluster repository's flake.nix are necessary. * The necessary changes for Ubuntu 26.04 have been implemented. * Routes to the Kubernetes Service IP range are propagated by Calico to BGP peers by default now. * Components of the monitoring stack can now be freely configured. * Support for Envoy Gateway as Gateway API integration has been added. o A migration for clusters already using the Calico Ingress Gateway has been implemented. * The "sntrup761x25519-sha512" post-quantum key exchange algorithm has been enabled for SSH. Some notable changes specifically for clusters on OpenStack or Proxmox: * The bird setup has been made compatible with bird3. Debian 13 can now be used for gateway nodes. * OpenStack Anti-Affinity-Groups can now be configured for any node. * Support for IPSec has been dropped. Check out the release notes [4] to get information about all the other changes and for more details!
