• Fully compatible with apps.emqx.io/v1beta3

• The new blue-green updating feature ensures smooth migration of client connections during EMQX cluster upgrades, reducing peak server pressure, For more info please check: https://github.com/emqx/emqx-operator/blob/2.1.0/docs/en_US/tasks/configure-emqx-blueGreenUpdate.md

• EMQX Operator now uses the EMQX Bootstrap user to access the EMQX API, no longer the EMQX Dashboard user

How to upgrade EMQX Operator 2.1 from EMQX Operator 2.0 💡

Take Helm Chart as an example:

helm repo add emqx https://repos.emqx.io/charts
helm repo update
helm upgrade --install emqx-operator emqx/emqx-operator \
  --namespace emqx-operator-system \
  --create-namespace

If you have deployed apps.emqx.io/v1beta3 resources, EMQX Operator will automatically convert them to apps.emqx.io/v1beta4 resources, all without any manual intervention.

The resources of apps.emqx.io/v2alpha1 will not receive any impact.

Warning 🚨

apps.emqx.io/v1beta3 will be dropped in EMQX Operator 2.1.1
