Istio 1.2 Upgrade Notes
Important changes operators must understand before upgrading to Istio 1.2.
This page describes changes you need to be aware of when upgrading from Istio 1.1.x to 1.2.x. Here, we detail cases where we intentionally broke backwards compatibility. We also mention cases where backwards compatibility was preserved but new behavior was introduced that would be surprising to someone familiar with the use and operation of Istio 1.1.
Installation and upgrade
Most Mixer CRDs were removed from the system to simplify the configuration model, improve performance of Mixer when used with Kubernetes, and improve reliability in a variety of Kubernetes environments.
The following CRDs remain:
| Custom Resource Definition name | Purpose |
|---|---|
adapter | Specification of Istio extension declarations |
attributemanifest | Specification of Istio extension declarations |
template | Specification of Istio extension declarations |
handler | Specification of extension invocations |
rule | Specification of extension invocations |
instance | Specification of extension invocations |
In the event you are using the removed mixer configuration schemas, set
the following Helm flags during upgrade of the main Helm chart:
--set mixer.templates.useTemplateCRDs=true --set mixer.adapters.useAdapterCRDs=true
