Release 1.15.1

Call outs

• 1.15.0 introduced a construct that affected most of the resource paths causing backwards compatibility issues (#1033 ). It was addressed so that customers can opt in to use nested construct (using builder.compatibilityMode(false)) and by default the compatibility mode will be set to true keeping the paths the same.
• Ingress NGINX was updated to not create an AWS loadbalancer if service type was set to ClusterIP.
• Karpenter CRD URLs were updated to the proper paths, bug fix.
• Other bugs fixes, documentation updates, helm chart updates, CDK moved to 2.147.3.

Full Changelog: blueprints-1.15.0...blueprints-1.15.1

Release 1.15.0

Call outs

• While 1.15.0 adds explicit support for EKS/Kubernetes version 1.30, we discovered that ADOT addon does not yet support that version and since many of our observability patterns depend on it, the default EKS version for the blueprints stayed at 1.29.
• You can now use a construct for EKS Blueprints EksBlueprintConstruct with your stacks which opens up opportunities to use it with Service Catalog and other use cases when stack is defined outside of the blueprints.
• New upstream nginx ingress add-on (in addition to the existing NginxAddon from F5).
• Crossplane add-on is now based on helm vs EKS Marketplace Addon.
• Control plane logging is now using native CDK implementation (previously custom resource in the blueprints repo).
• Karpenter supports pod identity.
• Kubeshark add-on (hosted outside, but is part of EKS Blueprints)
• Many other enhancements and bugfixes.

Compatibility Impact

• Grafana operator has migrated to a new Helm chart URL: oci://ghcr.io/grafana/helm-charts/grafana-operator. The add-on was upgraded, versions below 5.6 won't work with the default repository setting.
• ContainerInsightsAddOn was deprecated in favor of the CloudWatchInsightsAddOn. There will be no maintenance/upgrades on the ContainerInsightsAddon and we encourage customers to migrate to the CloudWatchInsightsAddOn as soon as possible.
• By default, EKS cluster version (when version is set as auto) was set to 1.28. Please keep in mind that we will maintain three latest EKS versions, so the lowest maintained now is 1.26.
• Node.js was upgraded to 20 as it is the current stable version/CDK was set to 2.115.0.
