v2.2.10

Release Notes:

Bug:

Starting from containerd version v2.0.0, a change in how the SystemdCgroup setting was updated for the runc options in the containerd configuration file caused the following issues:

• kube-apiserver, kube-controller-manager, and kube-scheduler kept crashing.
• High CPU load and race conditions.

Fix:

This release resolves the issue by properly setting the SystemdCgroup option in the containerd configuration file as per the recent changes, ensuring stable operation and preventing the above-mentioned issues.

v2.2.9

Release Notes:

Fix: Resolved an issue in the playbooks where until loop fails if an intermediate failure occurred while executing kubectl for pod health checks.

• This fix ensures that non-critical failures during the kubectl command execution do not interrupt the execution of the playbooks, allowing retries to proceed until the desired condition is met.
• This fix improves robustness and ensures smooth execution of playbooks even in transient failure scenarios.
