On Jun 21, 2022 KubeEdge released v1.11, introducing several exciting new features and enhancements that significantly improve node group management, mapper development, installation experience, and overall stability.

v1.11 What's New​

• Node Group Management
• Mapper SDK
• Beta sub-commands in Keadm to GA
• Deprecation of original init and join
• Next-gen Edged to Beta: Suitable for more scenarios

Release Highlights​

Node Group Management​

Users can now deploy applications to several node groups without writing deployment for every group. Node group management helps users to:

• Manage nodes in groups

• Spread apps among node groups

• Run different versions of app instances in different node groups

• Limit service endpoints in the same location as the client

Two new APIs have been introduced to implement Node Group Management:

• NodeGroup API: represents a group of nodes that have the same labels.
• EdgeApplication API: contains the template of the application organized by node groups, and the information on how to deploy different editions of the application to different node groups.

Refer to the links for more details (#3574, #3719).

Mapper SDK​

Mapper-sdk is a basic framework written in Go. Based on this framework, developers can more easily implement a new mapper. Mapper-sdk has realized the connection to KubeEdge, provides data conversion, and manages the basic properties and status of devices, etc., as well as basic capabilities and abstract definition of the driver interface. Developers only need to implement the customized protocol driver interface of the corresponding device to realize the function of mapper.

Refer to the link for more details (#70).

Beta sub-commands in Keadm to GA​

Some new sub-commands in Keadm have moved to GA, including containerized deployment, offline installation, etc. The original init and join behaviors have been replaced by the implementation from beta init and beta join:

• CloudCore will be running in containers and managed by Kubernetes Deployment by default.

• Keadm now downloads releases that are packed as container images to edge nodes for node setup.

• init: CloudCore Helm Chart is integrated into init, which can be used to deploy containerized CloudCore.

• join: Installing edgecore as a system service from a Docker image, no need to download from the GitHub release.

• reset: Reset the node, clean up the resources installed on the node by init or join. It will automatically detect the type of node to clean up.

• manifest generate: Generate all the manifests to deploy the cloud-side components.

Refer to the link for more details (#3900).

Deprecation of original init and join​

The original init and join sub-commands have been deprecated as they had issues with offline installation, etc.

Refer to the link for more details (#3900).

Next-gen Edged to Beta: Suitable for more scenarios​

The new version of the lightweight engine Edged, optimized from Kubelet and integrated into edgecore, has moved to Beta. The new Edged will still communicate with the cloud through the reliable transmission tunnel.

Refer to the link for more details (Dev-Branch for beta: feature-new-edged).

On Mar 7, 2022, KubeEdge released v1.10. The new version introduces several enhancements, significantly improving the installation experience, performance testing, network communication, and Kubernetes version compatibility.

v1.10 What's New​

• Installation Experience Improvement with Keadm
• Preview version for Next-gen Edged: Suitable for more scenarios
• Edgemark: Support large-scale KubeEdge cluster performance testing
• EdgeMesh proxy tunnel supports quic
• EdgeMesh supports proxy for udp applications
• EdgeMesh support SSH login between cloud-edge/edge-edge nodes
• Kubernetes Dependencies Upgrade

Release Highlights​

Installation Experience Improvement with Keadm​

Keadm adds some new sub-commands to improve the user experience, including containerized deployment, offline installation, etc. New sub-commands including: beta, config.

beta provides some sub-commands that are still in testing, but have complete functions and can be used in advance. Sub-commands including: beta init, beta manifest generate, beta join, beta reset.

• beta init: CloudCore Helm Chart is integrated in beta init, which can be used to deploy containerized CloudCore.

• beta join: Installing edgecore as system service from docker image, no need to download from github release.

• beta reset: Reset the node, clean up the resources installed on the node by beta init or beta join. It will automatically detect the type of node to clean up.

• beta manifest generate: Generate all the manifests to deploy the cloudside components.

config is used to configure kubeedge cluster, like cluster upgrade, API conversion, image preloading. Now the image preloading has supported, sub-commands including: config images list, config images pull.

• config images list: List all images required for kubeedge installation.

• config images pull: Pull all images required for kubeedge installation.

Refer to the links for more details. (#3517, #3540, #3554, #3534)

Preview version for Next-gen Edged: Suitable for more scenarios​

A new version of the lightweight engine Edged, which is optimized from kubelet and integrated in edgecore, and occupies less resource. Users can customize lightweight optimization according to their needs.

Refer to the links for more details. (Dev-Branch for previewing: feature-new-edged)

Edgemark: Support large-scale KubeEdge cluster performance testing​

Edgemark is a performance testing tool inherited from Kubemark. The primary use case of Edgemark is also scalability testing, it allows users to simulate edge clusters, which can be much bigger than the real ones.

Edgemark consists of two parts: real cloud part components and a set of "Hollow" Edge Nodes. In "Hollow" Edge Nodes, EdgeCore runs in container. The edged module runs with an injected mock CRI part that doesn't do anything. So the hollow edge node doesn't actually start any containers, and also doesn't mount any volumes.

Refer to the link for more details. (#3637)

EdgeMesh proxy tunnel supports quic​

Users can choose edgemesh's proxy tunnel as quic protocol to transmit data. In edge scenarios, nodes are often in a weak network environment. Compared with the traditional tcp protocol, the quic protocol has better performance and QoS in the weak network environment.

Refer to the link for more details. (#281)

EdgeMesh supports proxy for udp applications​

Some users' services use the udp protocol, and now edgemesh can also support the proxy of udp applications.

Refer to the link for more details. (#295)

EdgeMesh support SSH login between cloud-edge/edge-edge nodes​

Edge nodes are generally distributed in the Private network environment, but it is often necessary to ssh login and operate the edge node. EdgeMesh provide a socks5proxy based on the tunnel inside EdgeMesh, which supports forwarding ssh requests from cloud/edge nodes to edge nodes.

Refer to the links for more details. (#258, #242)

Kubernetes Dependencies Upgrade​

Upgrade the vendered kubernetes version to v1.22.6, users now can use the feature of new version on the cloud and on the edge side.

Refer to the link for more details. (#3624)

Important Steps before Upgrading​

If you want to deploy the KubeEdge v1.10.0, please note that the Kubernetes dependency is 1.22.6.

Other Notable Changes​

• Remove dependency on os/exec and curl in favor of net/http (#3409, @mjlshen)
