Release notes for Cluster API Provider AWS (CAPA) v2.13.0

Documentation

Changelog since v2.13.0

What's Changed

⚠ API Changes

• ✨ ROSAControlPlane now supports optional spec.deleteProtection and reports live protection state in status.deleteProtection. When enabled, CAPA syncs the setting to OCM. Deleting the ROSAControlPlane CR while protection is enabled removes the CR without cascading deletion to the ROSA cluster in OCM. (✨ feat(ROSA): add delete protection support to ROSA #6122, @michaelryanmcneill)

🐛 Bug Fixes

• 🐛fix: bump image-builder version for AMI builds. (🐛 fix: use image-builder v0.1.55 #6161, @richardcase)
• 🐛 fix: duplicate EC2 instance creation caused by deferred ProviderID persistence combined with EC2 API eventual consistency (🐛 Persist ProviderID immediately after instance creation #6132, @stefanonardo)
• 🐛 fix(clusterawsadm): allow zero results in release-tool ami find-missing-ami (🐛 fix: emit valid JSON/YAML from 'clusterawsadm ami list' when no AMIs … #6158, @richardcase)
• 🐛fix: prevented the AWSCluster validating webhook from panicking when removal of an existing secondary control plane load balancer is attempted. The update now returns a clear validation error. (🐛 Reject removal of a secondary control plane load balancer instead of panicking #6130, @thc1006)
• 🐛 fix: set correct region when building AMIs automatically. (🐛 fix: incorrect region used build ami v2 #6160, @richardcase)
• 🐛 fix(ROSA): infinite OCM API request loop when failed with a persistent error. (🐛 fix reconciler loop at status patch update for ROSA controllers #6128, @serngawy)
• 🐛 fix(ROSA): ROSAOCMRoleConfig CRD not being deployed when using clusterctl with ROSA=true (🐛 Add ROSAOCMRoleConfig CRD to kustomization #6141, @andclt)
