v1.6.1 Release Candidate 1

First release candidate for CNI v1.6.1. Major improvements include a complete rewrite of the Makefile, switching to Zap for structured logging, a big reduction in number of DescribeNetworkInterfaces calls to EC2 for large clusters and improved integration tests.

If you want to test this release candidate in one of your clusters you can use this aws-node daemonset config:

kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/aws/amazon-vpc-cni-k8s/release-1.6.1/config/v1.6/aws-k8s-cni.yaml

If you instead edit your current deployment, make sure to mount /var/run/dockershim.sock correctly!

Verify the update:

kubectl describe daemonset aws-node -n kube-system | grep Image | cut -d "/" -f 2

amazon-k8s-cni:v1.6.1-rc1

To test version v1.6.1 of the cni-metrics-helper in a cluster:

kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/aws/amazon-vpc-cni-k8s/release-1.6.1/config/v1.6/cni-metrics-helper.yaml
