Enhancements¶
This section outlines new features implemented in the Cluster release 16.1.0 that is introduced in the Container Cloud release 2.26.0.
Support for MKE 3.7.5 and MCR 23.0.9¶
Introduced support for Mirantis Container Runtime (MCR) 23.0.9 and Mirantis Kubernetes Engine (MKE) 3.7.5 that supports Kubernetes 1.27 for the Container Cloud management and managed clusters.
On existing managed clusters, MKE and MCR are updated to the latest supported version when you update your managed cluster to the Cluster release 16.1.0.
Support for Rook v1.12 in Ceph¶
Added support for Rook v1.12 that contains the Ceph CSI plugin 3.9.x and introduces automated recovery of RBD (RWO) volumes from a failed node onto a new one, ensuring uninterrupted operations.
For a complete list of features introduced in the new Rook version, refer to official Rook documentation.

Support for custom device classes in a Ceph cluster¶
TechPreview
Implemented the customDeviceClasses parameter that enables you to specify
the custom names different from the default ones, which include ssd,
hdd, and nvme, and use them in nodes and pools definitions.
Using this parameter, you can, for example, separate storage of large snapshots without touching the rest of Ceph cluster storage.
Network policies for Rook Ceph daemons¶
To enhance network security, added NetworkPolicy objects for all types of
Ceph daemons. These policies allow only specified ports to be used by the
corresponding Ceph daemon pods.
Upgraded logging pipeline in StackLight¶
Completely reorganized and significantly improved the StackLight logging pipeline by implementing the following changes:
Switched to the storage-based log retention strategy that optimizes storage utilization and ensures effective data retention. This approach ensures that storage resources are efficiently allocated based on the importance and volume of different data types. The logging index management implies the following advantages:
Storage-based rollover mechanism
Consistent shard allocation
Minimal size of cluster state
Storage compression
No filter by logging level (filtering by tag is still available)
Control over disk space to be taken by indices types:
Logs
OpenStack notifications
Kubernetes events
Introduced new system and audit indices that are managed by OpenSearch data streams. It is a convenient way to manage insert-only pipelines such as log message collection.
Introduced the
OpenSearchStorageUsageCriticalandOpenSearchStorageUsageMajoralerts to monitor OpenSearch used and free space from the file system perspective.Introduced the following parameters:
persistentVolumeUsableStorageSizeGBto define exclusive OpenSearch node usageoutput_kindto define the type of logs to be forwarded to external outputs
Important
Changes in the StackLight logging pipeline require the following actions before and after the manged cluster update:
Support for custom labels during alert injection¶
Added the alertsCommonLabels parameter for Prometheus server that defines
the list of custom labels to be injected to firing alerts while they are sent
to Alertmanager.
Caution
When new labels are injected, Prometheus sends alert updates with a new set of labels, which can potentially cause Alertmanager to have duplicated alerts for a short period of time if the cluster currently has firing alerts.
