What's New

Upgrading support

Users are now able to upgrade from the previous version smoothly. With the multiple version feature of CRD, objects with different schemas can be automatically converted between versions. Karmada uses the semantic versioning and will provide workarounds for inevitable breaking changes.

In this release, the ResourceBining and ClusterResourceBinding promote to v1alpha2 and the previous v1alpha1 version is still available for one more release. With the upgrading instruction, the previous version of Karmada can promote smoothly.

Introduced karmada-scheduler-estimator to facilitate end-to-end scheduling accuracy

Karmada scheduler aims to assign workload to clusters according to constraints and available resources of each member cluster. The kube-scheduler working on each cluster takes the responsibility to assign Pods to Nodes. Even though Karmada has the capacity to reschedule failure workload between member clusters, but the community still commits lots of effort to improve the accuracy of the end-to-end scheduling.

The karmada-scheduler-estimator is the effective assistant of karmada-scheduler, it provides prediction-based scheduling decisions that can significantly improve the scheduling efficiency and avoid the wave of rescheduling among clusters. Note that this feature is implemented as a pluggable add-on. For the instructions please refer to scheduler estimator guideline.

Maintainability improvements

A bunch of significant maintainability improvements were added to this release, including:

Simplified Karmada installation with helm chart.

Provided metrics to observe scheduler status, the metrics API now served at /metrics of karmada-scheduler. With these metrics, users are now able to evaluate the scheduler's performance and identify the bottlenecks.

Provided events to Karmada API objects as supplemental information to debug problems.

Other Notable Changes

  • karmada-controller-manager: The ResourceBinding/ClusterResourceBinding won't be deleted after associate PropagationPolicy/ClusterPropagationPolicy is removed and is still available until resource template is removed.(#601)
