Release Notes — 2.83

Covers the 2.83 release series. Most recent patch: 2.83.1.

Unless a subsection says otherwise, changes apply to both Monad SaaS and self-hosted.

New features & improvements

Self-hosted only

• Database backups to Google Cloud Storage — the bundled PostgreSQL can now back up to a GCS bucket using GKE Workload Identity, with no stored key. (2.83.0)
  • Access: opt-in — in your Helm values, set postgresql.cnpg.backup.enabled to true, postgresql.cnpg.backup.objectStore.provider to gcs, and postgresql.cnpg.backup.objectStore.destinationPath to your bucket path.
  • Grant the bucket to the database pods' Kubernetes service account, or annotate that service account with iam.gke.io/gcp-service-account through postgresql.cnpg.spec.serviceAccountTemplate.

New connectors

None.

Fixes

Self-hosted only

• Helm upgrades no longer fail on an empty ExternalSecret — enabling an ExternalSecret with nothing to fetch used to be rejected by the External Secrets Operator and fail the whole upgrade; the chart now skips it. (2.83.1)

Breaking changes

None.
