Release Notes for AKO Version 1.9.3

What’s New in AKO Version 1.9.3

  • Support for version Kubernetes 1.26

Issues Resolved in AKO Version 1.9.3

  • Static routes are not getting added for a new node where a node is deleted and then new node is added to the cluster.

  • If two clusters, with overlapping cluster name (i.e. one cluste rname is prefix of another cluster name) and deployed in ClusterIP mode, are connected to the same controller, then reboot of AKO, present in a cluster with name which is the prefix of one cluster name, deletes static routes of the other cluster.

  • During AKO boot up, if there is an error to list AKO CRD objects, AKO disables CRD handling. That results in deletion of existing avi controller objects.
