PRIMARYManual
Kubernetes Node Feature Discovery official lifecycle source
Action Required / Behavior Changes | nfd-topology-updater RBAC ( #2509 ): the ClusterRole needs list + watch on pods (was get only). Helm and kustomize manifests ship the update, but deployments that bump only the image will crash-loop with pods is forbidden ... cannot list resource "pods" until the new RBAC is applied. | NodeFeatureRule templates ( #2507 ): env , expandenv and getHostByName were removed from the available template functions (security hardening). Templates using them now fail to parse ( function "env" not defined ); the rule is skipped and an error is logged. | Helm worker updateStrategy default ( #2519 ): now rollingUpdate: {maxUnavailable: "10%"} (was Kubernetes default 1 ). Note for type: OnDelete users: the chart's default rollingUpdate block is deep-merged into your values; the API server accepts and ignores it (verified on v1.30). Optionally set worker.updateStrategy.rollingUpdate: null for a clean spec. | resyncPeriod (nfd-master): drives both the informer resync and the (new in this release, #2415 ) periodic full reconcile that re-applies labels and cleans up drift. Setting it to 0 disables this safety net entirely.
