Versioning and releases

As of the 0.28.0 release, the apiserver-network-proxy project is changing its versioning and release process. Going forward the project will adhere to these rules:

  • This project follows semantic versioning (eg x.y.z) for releases and tags.
  • Tags indicate readiness for a release, and project maintainers will create corresponding releases.
  • Releases and tags align with the Kubernetes minor release versions (the y in x.y.z). For instance, if Kubernetes releases version 1.99.0, the corresponding release and tag for apiserver-network-proxy will be 0.99.0.
  • Branches will be created when the minor release version (the y in x.y.z) is increased, and follow the pattern of release-x.y. For instance, if version 0.99.0 has been released, the corresponding branch will be named release-0.99.
  • Patch level versions for releases and tags will be updated when patches are applied to the specific release branch. For example, if patches must be applied to the release-0.99 branch and a new release is created, the version will be 0.99.1. In this manner the patch level version number (the z in x.y.z) may not match the Kubernetes patch level.

For Kubernetes version 1.28.0+, we recommend using the tag that corresponds to the same minor version number. For example, if you are working with Kubernetes version 1.99, please utilize the latest 0.99 tag and refer to the release-0.99 branch. It is important to note that there may be disparities in the patch level between apiserver-network-proxy and Kubernetes.

For Kubernetes version <=1.27, it is recommended to match apiserver-network-proxy server & client minor release versions. With Kubernetes, this means:

  • Kubernetes versions v1.26 through v1.27: 0.1.X tags, release-0.1 branch.
  • Kubernetes versions v1.23 through v1.25: 0.0.X tags, release-0.0 branch.
  • Kubernetes versions up to v1.23: apiserver-network-proxy versions up to v0.0.30. Refer to the kubernetes go.mod file for the specific release version.

Build

Please make sure you have the REGISTRY and PROJECT_ID environment variables set. For local builds these can be set to anything. For image builds these determine the location of your image. For GCE the registry should be gcr.io and PROJECT_ID should be the project you want to use the images in.

Mockgen

The mockgen tool must be installed on your system.

Currently, we are using go.uber.org/mock/mockgen@v0.4.0

go install go.uber.org/mock/mockgen@v0.4.0

Protoc

Proto definitions are compiled with protoc. Please ensure you have protoc installed (Instructions) and the protoc-gen-go and protoc-gen-go-grpc libraries at the appropriate version.

Currently, we are using protoc-gen-go@v1.27.1

go get google.golang.org/protobuf/cmd/protoc-gen-go@v1.27.1

Currently, we are using protoc-gen-go-grpc@v1.2

go get google.golang.org/grpc/cmd/protoc-gen-go-grpc@v1.2

Local builds

make clean
make certs
make gen
make build

Build images

make docker-build

Examples

The current examples run two actual services as well as a sample client on one end and a sample destination for requests on the other.

  • Proxy service: The proxy service takes the API server requests and forwards them appropriately.
  • Agent service: The agent service connects to the proxy and then allows traffic to be forwarded to it.

GRPC Client using mTLS Proxy with dial back Agent

Clients

apiserver-network-proxy components are intended to run as standalone binaries and should not be imported as a library. Clients communicating with the network proxy can import the konnectivity-client module.
