Release v 6.0.0

What's Changed

General

• Updated the used modules to the CARML Release 0.11.0
• Moved large chunks for code from the pipeline into the used PowerShell scripts to improve testability
• Refactored several functions to native REST in order to reduce dependencies and at the same time work past some PowerShell module issues
• Upgraded the Linux Default Image to Ubuntu 23.04
• Added a 'File structure & flow' section to each construct's readme to describe the setup & explain how to reference/add additional parameters
• Expanded on the Azure Image Builder construct description (& visuals) and added a prerequisites section
• Enabled Private Networking for DeploymentScripts
• Split used Managed Identities in 2:
  • One to be used by the deployment scripts to e.g., upload files to the Assets Storage Acount & trigger the Image build
  • One to be used by the Azure Image builder to e.g., read files from the Assets Storage Account & execute the Image build
• Switched Assets Storage Account authentication to Entra ID Authentication (instead of access keys)
• Updated pipeline build names to contain more detail

Breaking changes

• Merged the original 2 Azure Image Builder Bicep solution templates into a single one
  • The template was originally split to have one template deploy infrastructure, then have a pipeline job running that uploads scripts to the Assets Storage Account, and finally a second template running to use these files in the Image Template deployment
  • The in-between step was merged into the template using a DeploymentScript that loads the files to upload as environment variables and creates them as files on the Storage Account
• Renamed the scripts uploaded to the Assets Storage Account to approved PowerShell verbs

Bugfixes

• Fixed pipeline conditions
• Fixed smaller typos

What's Changed

General

• Updated the used modules to the CARML Release 0.9.0
• Moved large chunks for code from the pipeline into the used PowerShell scripts to improve testability
• Refactored several functions to native REST in order to reduce dependencies and at the same time work past some PowerShell module issues

Full Changelog: 4.0.0...5.0.0

Release v 4.0.0

What's Changed

• Updated to CARML Release 0.8.0
• Updated Windows support
  • Seval fixes and improvements for customization script
  • Added support for PS-Core installation (which is required) if the chosen Windows image has only Powershell 5.1. installed
• Updated parameter interface to make better use of the Bicep template capabilities
  • i.e. all parameter objects such as 'vmssParam' have been split into individual parameters with default values - which not only allows us to leverage additional Bicep features, but also to reduce the setup effort as many values have default parameters
• Removed workarounds for temporal Bicep issues in the past
• Updated docs to latest changes
• Removed support for Marketplace images from VMSS deployment template (i.e., only Compute Gallery Images are supported). Can be re-added later if need be - but for the time being fell victim to the restructurnig.

      type: 'PlatformImage'
      publisher: 'Canonical'
      offer: '0001-com-ubuntu-server-focal'
      sku: '20_04-lts-gen2'
      version: 'latest'
  }

• Small update to Linux-Setup script with respect to the PS-Module copy actions

Full Changelog: 3.1.0...3.1.1

Release v 3.1.0

What's Changed

• Optimized the runtime of the Windows & Linux image configuration script(s) (for example, the default Linux setup script takes only 4-5 minutes to conclude). This is possible thanks to 2 tweaks:
  • Reduce the times 'Get-Module' is invoked
  • Added a logic that installs modules without their dependencies if those are already available. This is especially impactful as PowerShell (by default) always installs all dependencies with a module - even if those are already available. As such, the installation of, for example, all Az.* modules leads to a lot of redundant installations.
• Improved output & error handling of Wait-ForImageBuild script
• Updated verbosity of image baking script
• Added removal of deployment script resources
• Some minor template & pipeline changes (e.g. updating naming)

Full Changelog: 3.0.2...3.1.0

Release v 3.0.2

Release v 3.0.1

What's Changed

• Removed some redundancy from the Set-EnvironmentOnAgent script
• Fixed a pipeline condition to re-enable a user to 'cancel' the pipeline at a specific stage where it was not before
