Version 0.3.5 Released

· 2 min read

This release contains fixes and changes to the Helm chart and the Terraform modules.

Helm Chart Changes​

New: Support for LetsEncrypt with cert-manager​

If you have cert-manager installed, the chart can create an Issuer and Certificate resources for you:

# In values.yaml
certManager:
  certificate:
    create: false
  issuer:
    create: false
    name: ""
    email: ""
    kind: Issuer
    group: cert-manager.io

When certManager.issuer.create is true, an Issuer resource will be created using LetsEncrypt's production server.

certManager.issuer.name is optional and uses the chart name if not provided.

certManager.issuer.email is required and will be used to register the issuer.

When certManager.certificate.create is true, a Certificate resource will be created using the secretName passed into ingress.tls[0].secretName.

It's also possible to pass certManager.issuer.name without certManager.issuer.create. This would use an existing Issuer. If you set certManager.issuer.kind to ClusterIssuer an existing ClusterIssuer would be used.

Fixed: Resource Definitions​

This version adds a resources section for each container.

If you're running on a very small node, such as Minikube, you can override resources to be empty for experimenting with Platz. It's recommended to leave the resources as they are in production.

Terraform Modules​

New: ingress Variable​

The previous Helm chart had two variables for defining an ingress: domain and tls_secret_name.

If domain was defined, and ingress was created. If tls_secret_name was defined, a tls section was added to the ingress using the domain variable:

# v0.3.4
module "platz" {
  domain          = "platz.example.com"
  tls_secret_name = "tls-secret"
  ...
}

The module now contains an ingress variable grouping everything related to the ingress, which includes cert-manager support and className:

# v0.3.5
module "platz" {
  ingress = {
    host       = "platz.example.com"
    class_name = "nginx"
    tls = {
      secret_name        = "tls-cert"
      create_certificate = true
      create_issuer      = true
      issuer_email       = "acme@example.com"
    }
  }
  ...
}

Changed: chart-discovery Outputs​

The output names of the chart-discovery module have been changed to match the inputs expected by the main module.

Before the change the main module block looked like this:

# v0.3.4
module "platz" {
  ...
  chart_discovery = {
    iam_role_arn = module.platz_chart_discovery.iam_role_arn
    queue_name   = module.platz_chart_discovery.sqs_queue_name
    queue_region = module.platz_chart_discovery.sqs_queue_region
  }
}

The sqs_queue_name and sqs_queue_region outputs have been named to queue_name and queue_region correspondingly, allowing the module resource to be used as an input directly:

# v0.3.5
module "platz" {
  ...
  chart_discovery = module.platz_chart_discovery
}
