Cilium v1.17.18 is a routine patch addressing three bugfixes: L7 policy denial for load-balanced services with identity changes, IPAM multi-pool prealloc waiting, and a policy metrics label error. No breaking changes.
Key changes (5)
- L7 load-balanced service traffic: fixed incorrect policy denials when remote identity changes
- IPAM multi-pool: eliminated unnecessary wait for zero prealloc requests
- Policy metrics: corrected policy_change_total failure label value to prevent spurious warnings
- Documentation: clarified ipv4-native-routing-cidr default value
- Dependencies: k8s.io/utils digest updated
