Downloads¶

Release v1.0.0¶

​ Venafi Kubernetes Agent v1.0.0 was released on September 3, 2024.

Key features¶

• Secretless authentication

  You can now use the Venafi Connection CRD to authenticate to Venafi Control Plane. With the Venafi Connection CRD, you can choose to authenticate using a Workload Identity Federation service account ("secretless").

• Memory usage improvements

  The memory usage of Venafi Kubernetes Agent has been reduced by excluding Helm release Secrets and some standard Secret types. You can configure the ignored types with the Helm value config.ignoredSecretTypes.

• Logging improvements

  The configuration manifest is no longer dumped on startup, uncluttering the logs.

Release v0.1.49¶

​ Venafi Kubernetes Agent v0.1.49 was released on July 11, 2024.

Key features¶

• When the Venafi Kubernetes Agent requires a proxy for outbound connections, and the proxy uses a certificate issued by a private certificate authority, you can now add the certificate authority to a custom CA bundle that will be trusted by the agent. The Helm chart now supports specifying volumes and volume mounts to streamline this process. For more information, see the Venafi Kubernetes Agent Helm values reference page.
• The Helm chart has been enhanced to allow users to control the metrics settings. For more information, see the Venafi Kubernetes Agent Helm values reference page.
• An error preventing Venafi Kubernetes Agent deployment on Red Hat OpenShift clusters has been resolved. The error "runAsUser: Invalid value: 1000", is no longer encountered.
• Following best practices, the default CPU limit for the Agent pod has been removed. This allows for more dynamic resource allocation by Kubernetes.
• Logging improvements have been made for faster issue resolution. For example, the last log message now explicitly identifies the reason a process terminates, helping in troubleshooting.

Release v0.1.48¶

​ Venafi Kubernetes Agent v0.1.48 was released on May 14, 2024.

Key features¶

• This release adds three new environment variables to the available Helm values:

  • HTTP_PROXY: Configures the HTTP_PROXY environment variable where a HTTP proxy is required.
  • HTTPS_PROXY: Configures the HTTPS_PROXY environment variable where a HTTP proxy is required.
  • NO_PROXY: Configures the NO_PROXY environment variable where a HTTP proxy is required, but certain domains should be excluded.
