Kubernetes v1.30 now available, featuring debug profile support

2024-04-23

Kubernetes v1.30 is now available for new clusters. Our favorite new feature is support for specifying a custom profile for debug containers. It accepts a JSON container spec that can include needed environment variables, for example.

This is an important security enhancement, encouraging workflows where an application binary is provided on top of a scratch base image, significantly reducing the attack surface. In the event troubleshooting an application from inside is needed, a debug profile can be selected from kubectl (make sure to upgrade your local client as well).
