V3
- Fix imds option: Corrected behavior of the rack parameter 'imds_http_tokens' . Setting
imds_http_tokens=required will now properly enforced metadata sessions tokens (IMDSv2). - Add liveness check support and add health check disable option: We've addressed the health check functionality, allowing you to fine-tune your application's behavior. You can now configure liveness checks for your web pods, ensuring that any instances that exhibit signs of unhealthiness are cycled out promptly. This enhancement aims to facilitate better troubleshooting and mitigate the hanging issues you may have previously faced.
- ECR supports image manifest caching in ECR with Buildkit >= 0.12.0: With Buildkit 0.12.0, we're reintroducing image manifest caching in ECR, solving the slowdown issue during deployments caused by the loss of caching when we transitioned to Buildkit. This update brings faster deployments, ensuring a smoother experience for you.
- Add recommended nfs mount to overcome efs reconnect: We've optimized our EFS mounting strategy by adding the recommended 'noresvport' option to align with AWS recommendations. This adjustment ensures smoother connectivity during routine upgrades, minimizing disruptions.
