2022.07

Setting the service type of the proxy component

You can now configure the service type of the proxy service in the installation UI (see image below) - you do not need to upload a .yaml file as a config patch anymore to configure this. However, having it in the config patch will still work until December.

Setting workspace resource limits

If you are setting a resource limit for workspaces via a config-patch, the way to set these limits has changed slightly:

Before:

language: 

yml

copy code

workspace:
  resources:
    requests:
      cpu: "3"
      memory: 15Gi
    limits:
      cpu: "4"
      memory: 21Gi

After:

You can now have two types of limits you can set:

• A min limit: this is always respected
• A burst limit: this is allowed for short periods, e.g. to allow for high-intensity workloads during workspace startup

workspace:
  resources:
    requests:
      cpu: "3"
      memory: 15Gi
    limits:
      cpu:
        min: "2"
        burst: "6"
      memory: 21Gi

Setting the default workspace image and which image registries the default image can be pulled from

We’ve moved the configuration of the default workspace image and the default base image registry whitelist out of the experimental section of the config-patch file. The latter was also renamed. Using them in the experimental section will still work for the time being (until approx. December 2022).

Before:

language: 

yml

experimental:
  webApp:
    server:
      defaultBaseImageRegistryWhitelist:
        - <allowed registries>
    workspaceDefaults:
      workspaceImage: <path to your default workspace image>

After:

language: 

yml

workspace:
  workspaceImage: <path to your default workspace image>
containerRegistry:
  privateBaseImageAllowList:
    - <allowed registries>
