Release v1.3.4

Features and Enhancements

Node reset

Elemental Operator v1.3.4 introduces the machine reset feature. Admins may now delete clusters and allow nodes to be reset and re-registered again within the machine inventory. Resetting a node includes wiping all persistent data and re-deploying the OS of the initial installation, which is kept in recovery partition. For more information on how to use Elemental Operator machine reset, please see the docs.

Added registry template in charts

Elemental Operator v1.3.4 charts allows templating the registry of the referred images. A new registryUrl value has been added in charts (--set registryUrl=$MY_CUSTOM_REGISTRY:$PORT) to configure a public or local custom registry.

New Elemental Teal version

Elemental Operator v1.3.4 default channel includes a new Elemental Teal OS version which is new build based on SLE Micro 5.4.
