New features With this update, support has been provided for the must-gather tool in the Argo Rollouts controller. This update provides support for the following enhancements: Logs for pods within the Red Hat OpenShift GitOps Operator including the Argo Rollouts controller pods. Contents of Argo Rollouts Manager and Argo Rollouts custom resources (CRs). Contents of Deployment , Statefulset , and ConfigMaps CRs created by the must-gather tool in the Argo Rollouts controller. GITOPS-3947 1.7.3. Fixed issues Before this update, users could not use the argocd-k8s-auth binary to add Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) and Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) clusters because this binary was not available in the GitOps container. This update fixes the issue by adding the argocd-k8s-auth binary in the GitOps container. GITOPS-4226 Before this update, attempts to connect to Azure DevOps with Argo CD would result in an error due to the deprecation of the rsa-ssh host key algorithm by the Azure DevOps Repository service. This update fixes the issue by providing support for the rsa-ssh host key algorithms during the communication process between Argo CD and Azure DevOps Repository service. GITOPS-4543 Before this update, GitOps console plugin workloads did not schedule on infrastructure nodes when the runOnInfra field was enabled in the GitOpsService custom resource (CR). This update fixes the issue by adding the infrastructure node-selector on the GitOps console plugin workloads. This enables users to configure custom node-selectors and tolerations on the gitops-console pod. As a result, when the runOnInfra field is enabled, the GitOps console plugin pod is placed on the infrastructure nodes like the other default workloads. GITOPS-4496 Before this update, the ignoreDifferences sync option in Argo CD did not work for array fields. This update fixes the issue by modifying the merge strategy of the ignoreDifferences sync option used in the upstream project to handle array fields. As a result, the sync option now functions correctly by allowing users to ignore specific elements in the array during sync. GITOPS-2962 Before this update, users were unable to include context for notifications in the NotificationsConfiguration custom resource (CR). With this update, users can now add context for notifications by using the context field in the NotificationsConfiguration CR. This field can also be used to establish shared context across all templates defined in the NotificationsConfiguration CR. GITOPS-4303 Example of the context field in the NotificationsConfiguration CR spec: context: region: east 1 1 Context among all notification templates is in key-value pairs Before this update, users accessing a Red Hat OpenShift on AWS (ROSA) cluster after hibernation were unable to log in to the Argo CD web console due to an error indicating an invalid redirect URI in the Dex configuration. With this update, users can now log in to the Argo CD web console without facing any errors when the ROSA cluster is operational post-hibernation. GITOPS-4358 Before this update, users were unable to log in to the Argo CD web console if the availability of the openshift-gitops route was delayed while the Red Hat OpenShift GitOps Operator processed an Argo CD custom resource instance. An error message was displayed indicating an invalid redirect URI in the Dex configuration. With this update, users can now log in to the Argo CD web console without facing any errors. GITOPS-3736 Before this update, users could not create custom resources for Argo CD from the Add page on the Developer perspective of the Red Hat OpenShift GitOps web console. This issue has been observed from Red Hat OpenShift GitOps 1.10 and later releases. This update fixes the issue because Operator-backed resources with the correct versions are included in the ClusterServiceVersion manifest file. GITOPS-4513 1.8. Release Notes for Red Hat OpenShift GitOps 1.12.1 Red Hat OpenShift GitOps 1.12.1 is now available on OpenShift Container Platform 4.12, 4.13, 4.14, and 4.15. 1.8.1. Errata updates 1.8.1.1. RHSA-2024:1753 - Red Hat OpenShift GitOps 1.12.1 security update advisory Issued: 2024-04-10 The list of security fixes that are included in this release is documented in the following advisory: RHSA-2024:1753 If you have installed the Red Hat OpenShift GitOps Operator, run the following command to view the container images in this release: USD oc describe deployment gitops-operator-controller-manager -n openshift-operators 1.9. Release notes for Red Hat OpenShift GitOps 1.12.0 Red Hat OpenShift GitOps 1.12.0 is now available on OpenShift Container Platform 4.12, 4.13, 4.14, and 4.15. 1.9.1. Errata updates 1.9.1.1. RHSA-2024:1441 - Red Hat OpenShift GitOps 1.12.0 security update advisory Issued: 2024-03-20 The list of security fixes that are included in this release is documented in the following advisory: RHSA-2024:1441 If you have installed the Red Hat OpenShift GitOps Operator in the default namespace, run the following command to view the container images in this release: USD oc describe deployment gitops-operator-controller-manager -n openshift-gitops-operator 1.9.2. New features With this update, the GitOps argocd CLI is supported and accessible as a productized component of Red Hat OpenShift GitOps. The GitOps argocd CLI tool is available through RPMs in RHEL. You can download it through the OpenShift mirror registry. Warning The GitOps argocd CLI tool is a Technology Preview feature. By using the GitOps argocd CLI tool, you can complete the following tasks: Manage Red Hat OpenShift GitOps from a terminal. Manage ArgoCD resources, such as Applications , ApplicationSets , AppProjects , User accounts , and GPG keys from a client terminal. GITOPS-3389 Note The argocd executable binary file is included in the archive and RPM formats. With this update, NotificationsConfiguration custom resource (CR) is now supported. Before this update, you had to update the argocd-notifications-cm ConfigMap to manage templates, triggers, services and subscriptions. With this release, you cannot modify the argocd-notifications-cm ConfigMap. A new Custom Resource definition NotificationsConfiguration is introduced to manage the argocd-notifications-cm ConfigMap. GITOPS-4130 Note This update removes any configuration added to argocd-notifications-cm ConfigMap. You must take a backup of your configuration and update the configuration/backup in the default-notifications-configuration custom resource of kind:NotificationsConfiguration after upgrading to the new version. Also, with this update, any modifications to argocd-notifications-cm ConfigMap are not allowed. With this update, two new fields .spec.applicationSet.sourceNamespaces and .spec.applicationSet.scmProviders are introduced in the ArgoCD CRD to support ApplicationSet in any non-control plane namespaces. Administrators can use these fields to define certain namespaces that manage ApplicationSet resources. GITOPS-3754 Warning Argo CD application sets in non-control plane namespaces is a Technology Preview feature. With this update, Argo CD server has the required permissions to manage ApplicationSet resources. GITOPS-3762 With this update, you can configure log levels, such as debug , info , warn , error , panic and fatal . The default log level set for the output is info . To change the log level, add the environment variable LOG_LEVEL in the .spec.config.env field of the Subscription CR. GITOPS-4016 Example output apiVersion: operators.coreos.com/v1alpha1 kind: Subscription metadata: name: gitops-operator namespace: openshift-gitops-operator spec: ... config: env: - name: LOG_LEVEL value: "error" With this update, Argo CD accepts the wildcard values in the sourceNamespaces field so that you can specify multiple namespaces or patterns for namespaces. To use this feature, specify the namespaces where Argo CD can manage applications in the .spec.sourceNamespaces field of the ArgoCD CR. GITOPS-3935 Example apiVersion: argoproj.io/v1alpha1 kind: ArgoCD metadata: name: example-argocd-wildcard-pattern spec: sourceNamespaces: - app-team-* - namespace-2 In the example, permissions are granted to namespaces that match the pattern app-team-* , such as app-team-1 , app-team-2 , and namespace-2, which does not use wildcard values. To grant permissions for all the namespaces on the Argo CD cluster using the * wildcard pattern, configure the ArgoCD CR in the following manner: Example apiVersion: argoproj.io/v1alpha1 kind: ArgoCD metadata: name: example-argocd-all-namespaces spec: sourceNamespaces: - '*' 1.9.3. Fixed issues Before this update, the notifications controller could not use built-in functions in notification templates to obtain information about applications because of an incorrect repository server address. This update fixes the issue by initializing the notification controller to use the correct repository server address. GITOPS-2867 Before this update, when a user created a Job from a CronJob resource, an error is displayed. With this update, users can create Job executions from a CronJob resource defined in a deployed Argo CD application. GITOPS-3617 Before this update, in some instance when applications are deleted, their application environment card would remain in a half-deleted state until the page was refreshed. With this update, the application environment card is removed from the UI automatically after the Argo CD application is deleted. GITOPS-2677 Before this update, when a user deleted apps and namespaces in Argo CD, in some cases, the Red Hat OpenShift GitOps plugin would display an error message. This update fixes the issue by updating some components from the dynamic plugin SDK and provides better error handling. As a result, the error message is not displayed after deleting apps or namespaces. GITOPS-2746 Before this update, the password for the admin role was used to reset to the default password when it was updated by the GitOps argocd CLI or the Argo CD UI. This update fixes the issue and the user can now update the admin password and the password is no longer set to default. GITOPS-3581 1.9.4. Known Issues There is currently a known issue that changes the functionality of routing in the OpenShift Console Dynamic plugin, dynamic-console-sdk , that is used by the Red Hat OpenShift GitOps Dynamic Plugin. This issue causes the horizontal navigation bar, which is used to switch between the Application Overview page and the Deployment History page for an application, on the Application Overview page to not function correctly. GITOPS-4232 Workaround: To view the Deployment History page of an application, use the Deployment History link on the application instead of the link on the horizontal navigation bar on the Application Overview page. This issue has been observed on all supported cluster versions that use the Red Hat OpenShift GitOps Dynamic Plugin. There is currently a known issue on the OpenShift Container Platform cluster for the console Red Hat OpenShift GitOps Dynamic Plugin where users can experience some delay when fetching application data. GITOPS-4234 Workaround: No workaround currently exists for this issue, so you must wait for the fetching of the application data to complete. There is currently a known issue that causes the Red Hat OpenShift GitOps Dynamic Plugin to be disabled on the OpenShift Container Platform 4.15 cluster. GITOPS-4231 Workaround: Perform the following steps: Install the Red Hat OpenShift GitOps Operator on your cluster. In the Administrator perspective of the web console, navigate to Home Overview . On the Overview tab, click the Dynamic plugins link in the Status section. To enable the Red Hat OpenShift GitOps Dynamic Plugin, click gitops-plugin and then click Enabled . After some time, a notification with the message "Web console update is available" is displayed. 1.10.

Release notes for Red Hat OpenShift GitOps 1.11.0 Red Hat OpenShift GitOps 1.11.0 is now available on OpenShift Container Platform 4.12, 4.13, and 4.14. 1.17.1. New features The current release adds the following improvement: With this update, you can selectively disable the redis and application-controller components for an Argo CD instance in a specified namespace. These components are enabled by default. To disable a component, set the enabled flag to false in the .spec.<component>.enabled field of the Argo CD Custom Resource (CR). GITOPS-3723 For example: apiVersion: argoproj.io/v1alpha1 kind: ArgoCD metadata: name: example-argocd spec: controller: enabled: false redis: enabled: false Note This feature is currently limited to the redis and application-controller components. It is expected that support for other components will be included in a future Red Hat OpenShift GitOps release. 1.17.2. Fixed issues The following issues have been resolved in the current release: Before this update, the Argo CD Notifications Controller did not support custom certificates added to the argocd-tls-certs-cm config map. As a result, notification services with custom certificates did not receive notifications due to the x509: certificate signed by unknown authority error message. This update fixes the issue by correctly initializing the cert resolver function in the Argo CD Notifications Controller to load all certificates stored in the argocd-tls-certs-cm config map. Now, notification services with custom certificates can successfully receive notifications. GITOPS-2809 Before this update, users would face PrometheusOperatorRejectedResources alerts when the Red Hat OpenShift GitOps Operator was not installed in the openshift-gitops-operator namespace. The problem affected users who upgraded from earlier versions of the Red Hat OpenShift GitOps Operator to v1.10. This update fixes the issue by updating the Operator's serverName metrics service to reflect the correct installation namespace. Now, users who upgrade or install the Red Hat OpenShift GitOps Operator in namespaces other than openshift-gitops-operator should not see these alerts. GITOPS-3424 1.18. Release Notes for Red Hat OpenShift GitOps 1.10.6 Red Hat OpenShift GitOps 1.10.6 is now available on OpenShift Container Platform 4.12, 4.13, and 4.14. 1.18.1. Errata updates 1.18.1.1.

GITOPS-4543 Before this update, the ignoreDifferences sync option in Argo CD did not work for array fields. This update fixes the issue by modifying the merge strategy of the ignoreDifferences sync option used in the upstream project to handle array fields. As a result, the sync option now functions correctly by allowing users to ignore specific elements in the array during sync. GITOPS-2962 Before this update, users could not create custom resources for Argo CD from the Add page on the Developer perspective of the Red Hat OpenShift GitOps web console. This issue has been observed from Red Hat OpenShift GitOps 1.10 and later releases. This update fixes the issue because Operator-backed resources with the correct versions are included in the ClusterServiceVersion manifest file. GITOPS-4513 1.20.

New features The current release adds the following improvements: With this update, the Argo CD CRD API version is upgraded from v1alpha1 to v1beta1 to accomodate the breaking changes resulting from the deprecation of .spec.dex and certain .spec.sso fields. To streamline the automatic migration of existing v1alpha1 Argo CD CRs to v1beta1 , conversion webhook support is implemented. GITOPS-3040 Note By default, the conversion webhook is enabled only for OLM-installed Operators. For non-OLM installations of the Operator, enabling the webhook is optional. However, without conversion webhook support, you have to manually migrate any existing Argo CD v1alpha1 CRs to v1beta1 . With this update, the Red Hat OpenShift GitOps Operator deploys three monitoring dashboards in the Administrator perspective of the web console. The three dashboards are GitOps Overview , GitOps Components , and GitOps gRPC . To access these dashboards, go to Observe Monitoring . GITOPS-1767 Note Disabling or changing the content of the dashboards is not supported. Previously, timestamps were presented in a Unix epoch format. With this update, the timestamps are changed to RFC3339 format, for example: 2023-06-27T07:12:48-04:00, to improve overall readability. GITOPS-2898 With this update, the default Argo CD instance in the openshift-gitops namespace has restricted permissions for non-admin users by default. This improves security because non-admin users no longer have access to sensitive information. However, as an administrator, you can set permissions and grant non-admin users access to the resources managed by the default openshift-gitops Argo CD instance by configuring your Argo CD RBAC. This change only applies to the default openshift-gitops Argo CD instance. GITOPS-3032 With this update, the default installation namespace for Red Hat OpenShift GitOps Operator is changed to its own namespace called openshift-gitops-operator . You can still choose the old default installation namespace, openshift-operators , through a drop-down menu available in the OperatorHub UI at installation time. You can also enable cluster monitoring on the new namespace by selecting the check box, which makes the Operator's performance metrics accessible within the OpenShift Container Platform web console. GITOPS-3073 Note The Red Hat OpenShift GitOps Operator's metrics are only available when the Operator is installed in the default namespace, openshift-gitops-operator . With this update, the Red Hat OpenShift GitOps Operator exports custom metrics that allow you to track the performance of the Operator. The following are the exported metrics: active_argocd_instances_total : This shows the number of Argo CD instances currently managed across the cluster. active_argocd_instances_by_phase{phase="<_PHASE>"} : This shows the number of Argo CD instances in a given phase, such as pending, available, among others. active_argocd_instance_reconciliation_count{namespace="<_YOUR-DEFINED-NAMESPACE>"} : This shows the number of times the instance in a given namespace is reconciled. controller_runtime_reconcile_time_seconds_per_instance{namespace="<_YOUR-DEFINED-NAMESPACE>"} : This metric displays the distribution of reconciliation cycles by their duration for the instance in a given namespace. To access these metrics, go to the Observe tab on the web console, and run queries against the monitoring stack. GITOPS-2645 Note You need to install the Red Hat OpenShift GitOps Operator in the default openshift-gitops-operator namespace with monitoring enabled to have these metrics automatically available. Before this update, there was no option for choosing an algorithm for distributing the destination clusters equally across the different application controller shards. Now, you can set the sharding algorithm to the round-robin parameter, which distributes clusters equally across the different application controller shards so that the synchronization load is spread equally among the shards. GITOPS-3288 Important The round-robin sharding algorithm is a Technology Preview feature. Before this update, there was no option for scaling the application controller replicas dynamically. Now, you can dynamically scale the number of application controllers based on the number of clusters managed by each application controller. GITOPS-3287 Important Dynamic scaling of shards is a Technology Preview feature. Additional resources Dynamically scale the Argo CD application controller with Red Hat OpenShift GitOps 1.10.0 1.24.3. Deprecated and removed features With this release, the following deprecated sso and dex fields are removed from Argo CD CR: The .spec.sso.image , .spec.sso.version , .spec.sso.resources , and .spec.sso.verifyTLS fields for keycloak SSO configurations The .spec.dex fields, along with DISABLE_DEX environment variable Additionally, the .status.dex and .status.ssoConfig fields are also removed, and a new status field, .status.sso , is introduced. The new field reflects the workload status of the SSO provider (dex or keycloak) configured through the .spec.sso.provider field. GITOPS-2473 Important To configure dex or keycloak SSO, use the equivalent fields under .spec.sso . With this update, the deprecated .spec.resourceCustomizations field is removed from Argo CD CR. Bug fixes and support are only provided through the end of the Red Hat OpenShift GitOps v1.9 lifecycle. As an alternative to .spec.resourceCustomizations , you can use .spec.resourceHealthChecks , .spec.resourceIgnoreDifferences , and .spec.resourceActions fields instead. GITOPS-3041 Important To prevent data loss during upgrade to Red Hat OpenShift GitOps Operator v1.10.0, ensure that you backup .spec.resourceCustomization value if it is used in your Argo CD CRs. With this update, the deprecated legacy Configuration Management Plugins (CMPs) feature, specified in the argocd-cm config map or the Operator through the .spec.configManagementPlugins field in Argo CD CR, has been removed in Argo CD v2.8. To continue using your legacy plugins, consider migrating them to the new sidecar available in the Operator through the .spec.repo.sidecarContainers field in Argo CD CR. GITOPS-3462 1.24.4. Fixed issues The following issues have been resolved in the current release: Before this update, there were vulnerabilities on Redis. This update fixes the issue by upgrading Redis to the latest version of registry.redhat.io/rhel-8/redis-6 . GITOPS-3069 Before this update, users were facing an "x509: certificate signed by unknown authority" error when using scmProvider with GitLab. This update fixes the issue by adding support for the Insecure flag for scmProvider with GitLab, and an option for mounting TLS certificate on the applicationSet controller. This certificate can then be utilized for scmProvider interactions with GitLab. GITOPS-3107
