Release Notes¶
F5 Cloud-Native Network Functions (CNFs) for OpenShift - 1.1.1
New Features and Improvements¶
- The
tmm.add_k8s_routesparameter enables the Traffic Management Microkernel’s (TMM) default gateway to be configured using either BGP or the F5BigNetStaticroute Custom Resource (CR) without impacting Kubernetes control plane traffic. When enabled (true), a Helm hook will obtain and add the Kubernetes Pod and Service IPv4/IPv6 networks to the TMM routing table. Refer to the TMM section of BIG-IP Controller overview for additional information. - ECMP is now enabled for BGP load balancing on the application (downstream) and subscriber (upstream) side of TMM. Refer to the Enabling ECMP for Load Balancing Traffic section of BGP Overview for additional information.
- F5BigLogHslpub CR with ipfix logging enabled specifies remote servers with IP/port and a UDP profile named ‘ipfix’ for the protocol version. Refer to the Installation section of F5BigLogHslpub for additional information.
