0.54.0 #

Release date: 27 Sep 2025

Update node 1: CRDs generated with .Values.crds.plain: false are now specless. For this case operator is fully responsible for VM specs validation. This was done to decrease helm release secret size limit. This change affects kubectl explain users and tools, that are rely on CRD specs during input data validation. If this behaviour is not acceptable consider using either victoria-metrics-operator-crds chart for CRDs management or set .Values.crds.plain: true to use plain CRDs.

Added securityContext to the cleanup job.
Make CRDs, that are rendered using template, specless. This allows to decrease size of k8s secret significantly. If this option is not acceptable for you consider installing CRDs separately using victoria-metrics-operator-crds chart or set .Values.crds.plain: true and .Values.crds.upgrade.enabled: true to use plain CRDs with upgrade job instead.
Replaced .Values.admissionWebhooks.enabledCRDValidation with .Values.admissionWebhooks.disabledFor list of CRD names to disable validation for. This change should not affect anyone, since before condition with .Values.admissionWebhooks.enabledCRDValidation was not working at all.
Added CRDs upgrade job, which is only available only for plain CRDs (.Values.crds.plain: true). See #2334 .
