Breaking Changes 🚨

In this release, the Snapshot Controller has been migrated from Katalog (Kubernetes manifests managed with Kustomize) to AWS EKS Addon (using Terraform modules).

🔑 Key Changes

• The Snapshot Controller is no longer deployed using Kustomize within Katalog.
• Instead, it is now managed as an AWS EKS Addon, simplifying lifecycle management and ensuring better integration with AWS services.
• This change improves maintainability, reduces manual updates, and leverages AWS-managed updates for security and stability.

⚠️ Impact & Considerations

• Existing snapshot functionality should remain unaffected.
• Users should ensure that the AWS EKS Addon for the Snapshot Controller is enabled in their cluster.
• If any custom configurations were applied via Kustomize, they should be reviewed and adapted to the AWS EKS Addon settings.

Update Guide 🛠️

Delete the existing snapshot-controller:

kustomize build katalog/snapshot-controller | kubectl delete -f -

Apply the updated terraform module included in this release.
