Argo CD publishes its tested Kubernetes versions at
https://argo-cd.readthedocs.io/en/stable/operator-manual/tested-kubernetes-versions/
3.5.3 is the latest available Argo CD release. Its matrix covers v1.33
through v1.36, which does not include the v1.37.1 shipped by this
branch, so this is the best available option rather than a combination
upstream has marked as tested. The 2.14 series is no longer listed on
that matrix.
argocd_version is derived from the first entry of
argocd_install_checksums, so adding the checksum for 3.5.3 at the top
of the list selects it.
This commit enhances the node removal playbook's reliability and safety by implementing the following changes:
1. **Node Validation**: Added a validation step using assert to ensure the `node` variable is defined and contains nodes. If the list is empty or undefined, the playbook fails early, preventing accidental operations on the entire cluster.
2. **Removed Defaulting for Hosts**: Updated tasks to enforce explicit `node` variable input without defaulting to critical groups (e.g., `etcd:k8s_cluster:calico_rr`). By validating `node` beforehand, tasks now solely rely on user-provided input and safely avoid unintended targeting.
3. **Explicit User Confirmation**: Enhanced the confirmation prompt to clarify the scope of the operation. The admin is now required to explicitly confirm node state deletion, ensuring a deliberate decision before proceeding.
These improvements strengthen the reliability and safety of the `remove-node.yml` playbook by eliminating ambiguous behavior, preventing misconfigurations, and ensuring clear interaction during node removal tasks.
This commit upgrades ingress-nginx to version v1.12.1, addressing multiple critical vulnerabilities including CVE-2025-1974, CVE-2025-1097, CVE-2025-1098, CVE-2025-24513, and CVE-2025-24514 as detailed in the ingress-nginx release notes: https://github.com/kubernetes/ingress-nginx/releases/tag/controller-v1.12.1
Important Notes:
- Fixing CVE-2025-1974 required disabling validation of the generated NGINX configuration during validation of Ingress resources. Invalid Ingress resources may stop the NGINX configuration from being updated.
- Recommended mitigations include enabling annotation validation and disabling snippet annotations.
Alongside this upgrade, the `ingress_nginx_kube_webhook_certgen_image_tag` has been updated to v1.5.2 for compatibility, based on: https://github.com/kubernetes/ingress-nginx/pull/13066
Changelog:
- Updated ingress-nginx version to v1.12.1 in Kubespray.
- Updated `ingress_nginx_kube_webhook_certgen_image_tag` in `roles/kubespray-defaults/defaults/main/download.yml` to v1.5.2.
