Diskim and kernel updates

• Kernel linux-5.18.1
• Diskim 1.0.0

All files should now have owner root:root on the images (please raise an issue if they don't).

An alias for tcpdump is added;

alias tcpdump='/bin/tcpdump -Z root'

Last Ubuntu 20.04 based release?

Some updates;

• Test library updates
• Kernel linux-5.17.8

Ubuntu 22.04 base

Images are now build on Ubuntu 22.04.

The stepping of the major release number indicates that this release may not be compatible with older (<Ubuntu 22.04) hosts. No ground breaking features has been added.

Also the leading v on the version has been dropped (should never have been there)

New kernel linux-5.17.1 and others

Kernel updated to linux-5.17.1. Many other updates, e.g ovl's multus and sctp.

linux-5.16.1 and xdp/ovs updates

Some updates

• Linux kernel linux-5.16.1
• Xcluster version in /etc/os-release
• Upgraded dropbear ssh 2016.74 -> 2020.81
• Base image in ovl/k8s-base
• jq now included in hd.img
• Updated demo slides
• Many updates in ovls; load-balancer, xdp, ovs

Openvswitch support

The ovl/ovs added and the kernel is rebuilt with additional features.

This also allows the Antrea CNI-plugin to be used with ovl/k8s-cni-antrea.

linux-5.15.2 with more hw support

Update to kernel linux-5.15.2 and extended support for pci, iommu, and Intel nic's (e1000, e1000e, igb).

The intention is to extend dpdk support in xcluster.

Private-reg/pause-image fixup and linux-5.14.2

Upgrade to this release is necessary for those who use a local docker registry and recent K8s images. To use a local xcluster clone will also work.

The problem is the pause image. It is used by all containers and is assumed to be pre-pulled. In earlier releases the private-reg ovl reset the version to pause:3.2. With this release the pause version is untouched. The pause image is also upgraded to pause:3.6.

Other upgrades are linux-5.14.2 and cri-o 1.22.0.

Linux-5.13.1

Updated linux kernel

Evil tester

Main new feature is the network-topology/evil_tester.

There is a lot of updates to ovl/load-balancer that will soon be moved to Nordix/nfqueue-loadbalancer.
