awsbnkctl 1.0.0

We are excited to announce the 1.0.0 release of awsbnkctl, a complete CLI tool for managing F5 BIG-IP Next Kubernetes clusters on AWS!

This release marks the first stable, public version of the tool.

Key Highlights

Full AWS Infrastructure Provisioning: Automates the creation of EKS clusters, VPCs, Subnets, and IAM roles tailored for BIG-IP Next.
BIG-IP Next Deployment: Installs and wires the F5 Lifecycle Operator, CNE Controller, and BGP networking.
Zero-Touch Configuration: Validates cluster.yaml manifests and ensures all configurations are correct before starting.
Dry-run Capabilities: Validate topologies and simulate cluster deployments entirely offline without touching AWS APIs.
Automated Lifecycle Management: Cleanly teardown and de-provision environments with awsbnkctl down.
Cross-Platform: Available for macOS, Linux, and Windows for both x86_64 and arm64 architectures.

This release includes fully functioning examples in the /examples directory to help you get started quickly:

full-cluster: Provisions a dedicated AWS VPC, EKS cluster, node groups, and deploys a fully routed BIG-IP Next topology in one shot.
external-only: Attaches BIG-IP Next nodes to an existing EKS cluster and configures external BGP routing.
