This release updates Kubernetes to v1.21.11, fixes a number of minor issues, and includes security updates.

Important Note

This release includes a breaking change to how Cilium helm chart values are customized.

Previously, the cilium CNI was bundled as a subchart of the rke2-cilium chart, and all chart values were nested under the top-level cilium key within the valuesContent section. As of this release, the subchart has been removed and nesting is no longer necessary. Chart values should be placed directly within the valuesContent section.
For example, if you previously had:

apiVersion: helm.cattle.io/v1
kind: HelmChartConfig
metadata:
  name: rke2-cilium
  namespace: kube-system
spec:
  valuesContent: |-
    cilium:
      ipv6:
        enabled: true

That should be converted to:

apiVersion: helm.cattle.io/v1
kind: HelmChartConfig
metadata:
  name: rke2-cilium
  namespace: kube-system
spec:
  valuesContent: |-
    ipv6:
      enabled: true

Cluster Join Token

If your server (control-plane) nodes were not started with the --token CLI flag or config file key, a randomized token was generated during initial cluster startup. This key is used both for joining new nodes to the cluster, and for encrypting cluster bootstrap data within the datastore. Ensure that you retain a copy of this token, as is required when restoring from backup.

You may retrieve the token value from any server already joined to the cluster:

cat /var/lib/rancher/rke2/server/token
