v1.0.0-alpha.20
Pre-releaseBreaking Changes
🚨 The plugin protocol has changed in this release of Porter. You must use the most recent version of any plugins with porter v1.0.0-alpha.20 and higher.
- Azure Plugin v1.0.0-beta.2
- Kubernetes Plugin v1.0.0-beta.3
- Hashicorp Plugin v0.1.0-porter.1 We are still waiting for the fix to be merged upstream, so you can use this fork of the hashicorp plugin until that's merged.
The installation schema has changed. Data created with previous versions of Porter will not work with this release. We will start providing migrations from v0.38.* when we hit v1.0.0-beta.1.
Overview
This was a big release! Most of the changes in this release were driven by one feature: Store sensitive data generated by Porter in an external secret store instead of in Porter's database. Previously, if a bundle generated a sensitive output, it was stored in Porter's database in plain text. Now if Porter needs to persist sensitive data, we save it back to your configured secret store. This required a change to the secret plugin protocol, which is why all the plugins have been updated.
A few supporting features also went into this release to improve our ability to debug and troubleshoot plugins:
- Distributed tracing support. We can now trace a porter command into the plugins that were called.
- Changed the plugin protocol from net/rpc to gRPC.
- Do not leak plugin connections when the user cancels a porter command. Porter now gracefully handles CTRL+C.
