v2.2.0

Stemcell Changes

• As of v2.2.0, the default stemcell is Ubuntu Bionic (18.04 TLS), and the precompiled releases are build on bionic. You may continue to use Ubuntu Xenial (16.04 LTS), but you must select the source-release feature.

CI Pipeline Improvements

Though this does not impact your usage of the BOSH genesis kit, some may find it interesting how we've improved our release engineering process around it. One particular item of note is the spec-check output is now available as a release artifact, which shows how the upstream releases that comprise this kit have changed regarding the supported manifest parameters.

• Propagate spec-check to the shipit task to be added to the release
  artifacts

• Add the build-kit task to create release candidate release that
  propagates to the tests

• Add place-holder to create pre-releases based on the build-kit task

• Separate proto and non-proto tests and run them in parallel, as well
  as adding upgrade tests for both scenarios (also run in parallel)

• Restructure and rename ci files to facilitate better flow and reuse of
  components

• Rework the pre/rc gatekeeper: by putting build-kit task at start, and
  by filtering out the commit generated by shipit, it is no longer
  needed

• Improve output of the bosh-deployment synchronization task

• Avoid introducing spurious merges when synchronizing with upstream
  bosh-deployment

  • if live deployment repo state contained commits not found in the
    repo state that last passed spec-test, it would cause a merge when a
    fast-forward would work fine.

• Commit the updates to releases used by runtime configs that correspond
  to the bosh-deployment upstream changes

• Drop the reliance on ci/release_notes.md, and use the commit messages.
  The reliance on that file, and the need to commit its removal on
  release caused turmoil in the main/dev git model.

• Use a git resource to propagate release notes from generation in
  prepare to usage in shipit, so it can be edited between those
  steps.

Upstream Convergence

• Synchronized embedded bosh-deployment to @9d31b0b1

v2.1.2

Improvements

• Added minio-blobstore feature -- see MANUAL.md for details

Bug Fixes

• Fix bosh-dns-healthcheck feature - thanks @michaelmccaskill (#126)

• Better support for params.dns when specifying a single entry - thanks
  @michaelmccaskill (#122)

• Recent changes in the bosh-cli broke the login addon. Empty environment variables is treated as a value.

• Fixes for rutime addon:

  1. Use overlay style for including os-conf release because it gets concated
     into an existing overlay style file, which was incompatible with its
     previous operator style.

  2. Improve runtime-config interface, to give better feedback for runtime
     uploads.

  3. Delete genesis.ops-access runtime if both netop-access and sysop-access
     features are not present (instead of uploading an empty runtime config)

  4. Fix exclude of genesis-local-users runtime job (it was in the wrong
     level, and therefore uneffective.

v2.0.1

Improvements

• In genesis new wizard, allow domain to be used for vCenter location

• Refactored runtime-config addon

  • Added suppport for BOSH DNS runtime, with parameters for whitelisting
    deployments (params.dns_deployments_whitelist, defaults to all) and
    enabling/disabling caching (dns_cache, defaults to true)

  • Set up features to generate passwords and certificates used by runtime
    config (bosh-dns-healthcheck, netop-access, sysop-access)

  • Separate runtimes into named configs (genesis.bosh-dns and
    genesis.ops-access), instead of merging with default runtime config.

Bug Fixes

• Fix missing genesis.bosh_env in new hook

• You can now specify default features to fix the order they are applied,
  which may be required for some combination of features.

Upstream Tracking

• Now based on bosh-deployment commit #f518c39

v2.0.0

Major Refactor: v2.0.0

Version v2.0.0 starts a new era based on the upstream bosh-deployment repository as the de facto community standard. Of course, being Genesis, it continues to embed best practices for deployments, including all the features and addons
you used in v1.x series.

Additional features are:

• Use compiled releases to significantly speed up proto-BOSH deployment.
• Ability to specify the upstream bosh-deployment ops files as Genesis features
• Ability to spin your own features local to your deployment repository, in either ops or overlay (spruce) format
• Use bosh variables in the enviornment file instead of on the command line, by just putting them under the bosh-variables: top-level key.

There are many changes available, so it is recommended to consult the MANUAL.md file.

Upgrading

You will need to be upgraded to v1.15.2 first. Make sure you back up your systems, and test on a sandbox or scratch environment first. As proto-BOSH environments don't give you the option to review and approve changes to the deploy, you can generate the manifest with genesis manifest <env> and compare it to the last deployed manifest in your deployment repos cache at .genesis/manifests/<env>.yml

If you need help, please contact us in the Genesis Slack channel

v1.15.1

This release has been rescinded due to issue #98 -- Please use v1.15.2.

Improvements

• Allow credhub cli to connect via client/secret auth as well as
  username/password.

  The credhub-login addon will continue to use the username/password method,
  creating a local token. However, when other kits need to access the bosh's
  credhub for their own secrets management needs, they will provide
  CREDHUB_* environment variables and connect via client/secrets method.

  This functionality change is available in and required by Genesis v2.7.11.
  Please upgrade to Genesis v2.7.11, then deploy this version of the bosh kit
  prior to deploying any further kits.

v1.15.0

Software Updates

• Updated UAA to 74.23.0 from 74.21.0
• Updated Garden RunC to 1.19.14 from 1.19.13
