Changelog since v1.34.0

Urgent Upgrade Notes

  • Add container_spec* and container_last_seen metrics

Action required: container_spec_memory_limit_bytes has moved from the memory
metrics category to the new spec category. Update your CRI-O configuration to include
spec in included_pod_metrics if you rely on this metric. (#9531, @haircommander)

Dependency-Change

Ci

Other

Deprecation

  • Deprecated --insecure-registries option, and made it ineffective. (#9511, @bitoku)

Feature

  • Add DiskIO metrics to collected container metrics (#9571, @haircommander)
  • Add container_start_time_seconds metric, nested under the spec metrics family (#9567, @haircommander)
  • Added PSI metrics for containers (#9608, @bitoku)
  • Added container_create_timeout option to control timeout duration of container creation (#9499, @snir911)
  • Added disk metrics (container_fs_inodes_free, container_fs_inodes_total, container_fs_limit_bytes, container_fs_usage_bytes) (#9344, @R3hankhan123)
  • Added new metric container_file_descriptors to expose the number of open file descriptors for each container from CRI-O metrics (#9329, @sreeram-venkitesh)
  • Added support for the namespaced pull secret credential provider. (#9463, @saschagrunert)
  • Allow containers to use both host network and user namespace. (#9634, @HirazawaUi)
  • CRI-O annotations migrated to Kubernetes-recommended naming: io.kubernetes.cri-o.**.crio.io
    (e.g., io.kubernetes.cri-o.userns-modeuserns-mode.crio.io).
    Full backward compatibility maintained - V2 format takes precedence when both present.
    All annotations consolidated in pkg/annotations/v2 package.
    See ANNOTATION_MIGRATION.md for migration guide. (#9537, @saschagrunert)
  • This commit introduces a new housekeeping value for the irq-load-balancing.crio.io annotation.

When housekeeping is set:

  • The housekeeping CPU set is injected into the container's environment variables as OPENSHIFT_HOUSEKEEPING_CPUS
  • IRQ SMP affinity bits are not disabled on the housekeeping CPUs when adding a new container
  • The housekeeping CPUs are chosen as the first CPU within each container plus its thread siblings (#9223, @andreaskaris)

Documentation

Failing Test

  • Fixed pod sandbox stop timeout allocation to properly distribute deadline between container and infra container stops, preventing timeout failures on slower systems. (#9643, @saschagrunert)

Bug or Regression

  • Fix Exec CPU affinity doesn't work when CPU load balancing is disabled. (#9647, @bitoku)
  • Fix a bug in high performance hook irq smp affinity disabling where a late container deletion could cause other containers to have their irq smp affinity messed up. (#9613, @haircommander)
  • Fix a bug where CRI metrics had the incorrect metadata. Now, instead of the metrics being populated with the sandbox metadata, they are populated with the container metadata. (#9535, @haircommander)
  • Fix the bug where the ContainersStatuses.Image returned by the GetContainerEvents is nil. (#9663, @HirazawaUi)
  • Fixed CVE-2025-58183: Updated tar-split to v0.12.2 to fix unbounded memory allocation vulnerability when parsing malicious container images with GNU sparse tar files. (#9589, @saschagrunert)
  • Fixed a bug where includedPodMetrics are not respected in ListMetricDescriptors (#9565, @bitoku)
  • Fixed memory leak with CRI connection when using the systemd watchdog feature. (#9448, @saschagrunert)
  • Fixed static build gpgme issue resulting in an "Invalid crypto engine" error on various platforms. (#9479, @saschagrunert)
  • LoadSandbox now validates critical metadata fields (name, namespace, uid) to prevent restoring sandboxes with corrupt configurations. (#9633, @saschagrunert)
  • Respect user specified selinux label for systemd or init container. (#9666, @bitoku)
  • Server: Fix network cleanup failures when NetNS path is empty (#9410, @sohankunkerkar)

Other (Cleanup or Flake)

  • Artifacts now require fully-qualified names or configured short-name aliases. Unqualified-search-registries are no longer supported for artifacts. (#9639, @R3hankhan123)
  • Changed GRPC debug log format to be more informative (#9501, @bitoku)
  • Use system dbus when running as UID 0 regardless of rootless detection (#9626, @sohankunkerkar)

Uncategorized

  • Cleaned up duplicate signature policy path logic in server image pull (#9509, @gouthamhusky)
  • Fixed kubectl exec and crictl exec commands hanging when accessing containers in the Terminating state. These commands now work correctly throughout the container shutdown period. (#9614, @willianpaixao)
