  • @youngnick - Address Status Updates for HTTPProxy:
    • #2371
    • At some point, we've introduced a race #2522
  • @jpeach - xDS certificate rotation. @tsaarni did the underlying work, so plumbing it through the deployment and tooling. Will be easy for operators to replace certgen with cert-manager. Certificate rotation support makes the secret format transition possible.
    • #2538 certgen doesn't have enough RBAC permissions to update secrets
    • #2537 Stop using ImagePullPolicy of Always
    • #2524 Update deployment to use rotatable bootstrap config
    • #2494 Certgen should generate secrets that are compatible with cert-manager
  • @stevesloka - "ingress/v1" ingressClassName

• Contour 1.5 release

  Currently scheduled for the 29th May, PDT.

  If you have landed a change that needs to be discussed in the release notes, the draft is available and can be updated now.

  • Contour 1.1 released
    • Envoy 1.12.2
    • Prefix rewrite support
      • Documentation PR #1974
    • Bunch of fixes to tcpproxy validation
      • Lots of weird edge cases fixed.
    • Host (and other header) rewrites

    • automatic XDS/gRPC certificate rotation, background material
  • @m2
    • CNCF donation
  • @youngnick
    • IngressV2 types investigation repo
      • Requires either:
        • moving to controller-runtime, which is what the sample repo uses, or
        • building custom code that uses the dynamic client (which the controller-runtime does as well), or
        • autogenerating Informer code from the service-apis types
      • I recommend the first.
      • I've done a proof-of-concept that Contour can work with that framework, available in the reconcile-style branch in my repo.
      • This requires upgrading client-go to 1.17 (controller-runtime requirement).
      • We are currently using client-go which supports kubernetes-1.15.4, we really should upgrade anyway. It does have compatibility implications
    • Design PR covering some of this is available.

• What have we been working on?

  • Contour 1.0.0-rc.1 released last week
  • HTTPProxy CRD now v1
    • Only additive changes going forth
    • CRD changes
      • spec.routes.services.heathcheck move to spec.route.healthCheckPolicy
      • spec.routes.services.strategy moved to spec.routes.loadBalancerPolicy
      • spec.routes.prefixRewrite removed. Replacement coming in rc.2
        • may come back new & improved
        • some webapps don't handle equivalent url's (e.g., example.com/site/ and example.com/site//) and we don't want to move forward with this feature being somewhat half-baked.
        • Github Issue: https://github.com/projectcontour/contour/issues/899

  • Steve Sloka did a great webinar in the CNCF webinar series, it's now up on our Resources page
    • Direct Video Link

• What's coming up?

  • Documentation moving to projectcontour.io.
    • We want the site to be more useful. User-facing will move to site/ subdir; developer docs (version-specific) will stay in docs/. Moving to "how do I?" docs instead of reference docs.
  • Contour 1.0.0-rc.2 on the 25th of October
    • Please try rc.1, tell us what you like and what you don't like.
  • Contour 1.0 scheduled for early November.
    • We're on track for being code complete on the 1st but the actual 1.0 tagging and champagne may happen later.
  • Contour 1.1 ETA
    • Once Contour 1.0 ships the release the minor release cadence will slow down.
      • We can tell users can't keep up.
    • Possibly a 1.0.x patch release Nov/Dec 2019.
    • We're not planning a Contour 1.1 release in 2019. More likely first few months in 2020.

    • community member Michael P will add more info to a GitHub issue.
  • "migrating from other ingress controllers" would be a fantastic contribution to the guides.
  • will use the same hackmd for every community meeting, and link to it from the community page. bookmark it!
