[DRBD-announce] LINSTOR Operator v1.10.6

[Moritz Wanzenböck]

Dear LINBIT SDS on Kubernetes users,

We've recently released an update for our Kubernetes Operator v1.

Release v1.10.6 brings the usual round of image updates, as well as
two small improvements:

First, in the (unannounced) v1.10.5, we added the option to set the
DNS policy for Satellite containers. This is useful if you use S3
Backups on remotes that are not publicly announced in DNS.

The second feature concerns monitoring: the CSI Driver uses a number
of sidecar containers, which are now also configured to export
prometheus metrics. This is enabled by default if a running prometheus
operator instance is detected.

A reminder for users of Operator v1: We will maintain the existing
Operator v1 with bug fixes and new software versions until the end of
2023. We will provide a dedicated upgrade path to Operator v2. We
recommend all v1 installations to continue to use v1. For all new
clusters we recommend using v2.

To get specific instructions to apply the update, check our users guide: [1]

Source code is, as always, available upstream. [2]

Best regards,
Moritz
