Submariner 0.18.0 Release

[Daniel Farrell]

Hello,

Submariner 0.18.0 is released!

• subctl join and other commands now support HTTP proxy arguments corresponding to the HTTP proxy environment variables that are propagated to the various pods.
• subctl verify now outputs a short description of each test that is run.
• Fixed an issue in Service Discovery where un-exporting a Service on one cluster and then quickly exporting it on another cluster could result in a missing ServiceImport resource and cause name resolution failures.
• Reduced and restricted the RBAC permissions for the various Submariner components to only what is actually needed to reduce any potential attack surface.
• Improved the performance of Service Discovery exporting at scale which was hindered by excessive throttling delays when exporting many services quickly.
• To reduce RBAC permissions, Submariner no longer annotates Node resources. After upgrade, any submariner.io/* annotations will not be removed because Submariner no longer has Node update permission.
• Health check counters on the Gateway resource now report correct information after a gateway leader re-election occurs.
• AWS cloud prepare now supports the resource naming convention implemented in Openshift 4.16 and above.
