v6.17.1

Released: July 17, 2025

6.17.1 (2025-07-17)

In addition to the features included in v6.17.0, this patch release also includes the following:

IaC: The offline Terraform bundle for the ALB IaC module now references a cached local version of the load balancer module, in order to avoid queries to the upstream Terraform registry.
IaC: The eks-cluster variable commit_ref_name has been removed and resources such as EC2 instances are no longer tagged with it, in order to prevent unnecessary node rotations.
The SmoothGlue package allows currently-enabled SmoothGlue components to be disabled explicitly by setting the relevant _ENABLED Zarf flag to false.
The Zarf variables for enabling and disabling Istio-related components now work as expected again.
The SmoothGlue package no longer populates an empty gatewayCert if no Istio TLS certificate or key is provided.
The SmoothGlue package now skips the Keycloak CA cert gracefully if no Istio TLS cert is provided.
Overrides for the new Istio components will now be properly stored in component-specific Config Maps/Secrets, rather than as part of the the bigbang-overrides Config Map/Secrets.
