We’re happy to announce we’re finally upgrading to the latest version of Concourse CI, v7.11.2, which brings a lot of new features and improvements. Considering this is quite a substantial upgrade, we will get in touch with each customer individually in the coming weeks to start the upgrade process. This will also incur Concourse downtime, so we will work with you to find the best time to do this.
Changes with this upgrade that we made:
- Moved from Amazon Linux 2 as base image to Ubuntu 22.04 “Jammy Jellyfish”
- Moved from the
gardencontainer runtime to thecontainerdruntime (with cgroups2) - Moving from
btrfsback tooverlayas the default bagageclaim driver (to be determined per setup what works best) - Upgraded Postgres RDS from 12.17 to 16.1
Important Concourse CI changes:
- Upgraded all the bundled resources, like git, github-release, docker-image, registry-image, etc.
- Support for “raw” encoding volume streaming (not enabled by default), which results in faster volume streaming and can save worker CPU time, at the cost of more network bandwidth.
- Support a way to skip implied get after put via the
no_getparameter. - Performance optimizations & many bug fixes
