+operator/compare/v0.10.1...v0.10.2)

+operator/compare/v4.81.0...v4.82.0) 
+      * Update Alertmanager notification template
+      * Update alert and query URLs for Mimir to point to the Active notification rather than the rule page
+      * Move link section (runbook, dashboard, explors) before instance to avoid them being lost due to OpsGenie max description being reached
+      * Move the warnings for missing runbook and dashboard up into the link section
+      * Replace Alertmanager and silence link with silence repository
+      * Get rid of useless `prometheus-agent` after the migration to the new `monitoring-agent` inhibitions. 
+
+
+- [cluster-aws](https://github.com/giantswarm/cluster-aws) 
+  - [2.5.0](https://github.com/giantswarm/cluster-aws/compare/v2.4.0...v2.5.0) 
+      * Add aws-node-termination-handler bundle
+      * Values: Add `global.providerSpecific.controlPlaneAmi` & `global.providerSpecific.nodePoolAmi`.
+      * Make ASG lifecycle hook heartbeat timeout configurable
+      * Chart: Update `cluster` to [v1.7.0](https://github.com/giantswarm/cluster/releases/tag/v1.7.0).
+      * Add `teleport-init` systemd unit to handle initial token setup before `teleport` service starts
+      * Improve `teleport` service reliability by adding proper file and service dependencies and pre-start checks
+      * Fix aws-nth-bundle to use the MC's kubeconfig context if it's in a different organization namespace.
+Workload clusters outside the MC's `org-giantswarm` namespace failed to deploy
+the bundle because `HelmRelease` does not allow specifying the MC's kubeconfig
+secret namespace. The bundle was therefore switched to an `App`.
