• Tailscale Kubernetes Services support HA mode and multiplexing. You can expose a cluster app to a tailnet by using multiple active network layer proxy Pods to help prevent downtime. You can expose multiple apps to a tailnet on the same set of proxy Pods.

• Tailscale Ingress supports exposing applications deployed across multiple clusters (multi-cluster Ingress) to the tailnet.

• Pods deployed for a Recorder resource can use AWS IAM Roles for Service Accounts (IRSA) instead of static Amazon S3 credentials by configuring the created ServiceAccount object's name and annotations.

• Tailscale Kubernetes Services support exposing to tailnet applications that are deployed across multiple clusters (multi-cluster Service).

• Tailscale Kubernetes operator needs to watch EndpointSlice objects at cluster scope, to ensure failover for multi-cluster Service and Ingress resources in cases where there are no healthy backends in one of the clusters.

• The Kubernetes Operator will default any path left unset on an Ingress resource to the / path.

A new release of the Tailscale tsrecorder is available. You can download it from Docker Hub.

• All Tailscale container images are annotated with Open Container Initiative (OCI) annotations.
• Clients should more accurately detect whether they are in a container when checking for updates.

A new release of the Tailscale Kubernetes operator is available. For guidance on installing and updating, see installation instructions.

• Tailscale client metrics can be enabled using a ProxyClass with the .spec.metrics.enable field set.

• All Tailscale container images are annotated with Open Container Initiative (OCI) annotations.

• ProxyClass supports configuring topology spread constraints for the Proxy Pods.

• Connector Custom Resource Definition (CRD) can be used to configure the Kubernetes Operator to deploy a Tailscale app connector on Kubernetes.

• Tailscale running on Kubernetes and using a Kubernetes Secret as a state store writes Kubernetes Events to its Pod when changes occur to the state stored in the Kubernetes Secret. The same is true when there are errors related to reading or writing the state. This should help debugging issues related to transient errors when talking to the Kubernetes API server to retrieve or update the state Secret.

• Kubernetes Operator can optionally create a Prometheus ServiceMonitor for proxy resources that have Tailscale client metrics enabled.

• Container Storage Interface (CSI) driver volume for the operator's OAuth client credentials can be configured by using Helm values.

• Timeout for Kubernetes API server calls for reading/updating tailscaled state stored in a Kubernetes Secret has been changed from 5 seconds to the total of 30 seconds for the read/update operation and an operation to emit an Event about the state update. This should reduce errors related to slow API server connections.

• The ProxyClass field .spec.metrics.enable enables metrics at both /metrics and /debug/metrics, but /debug/metrics is deprecated. Users relying on /debug/metrics need to set .spec.statefulSet.pod.tailscaleContainer.debug.enable (which is a new field in Tailscale 1.78.1) until Tailscale 1.82.0 releases. When 1.82.0 releases, /metrics and /debug/metrics will both independently default to false.

• Kubernetes operator proxy containers created for ingress and egress Service resources, Connectors and ProxyGroups are privileged. This is needed because of recent changes in containerd. For more context, see tailscale/tailscale/pull/14262.

• Tailscale running on Kubernetes reads its state from a Secret only once, and that is upon initial start. This should reduce bugs caused by transient issues when connecting to the Kubernetes API server as well as reduce the load on the API server and improve latency for state operations.

• Kubernetes Egress Service ports for ProxyGroup can be changed from a single unnamed port to one or more named ports.

• Clients should more accurately detect whether they are in a container when checking for updates.

A new release of the Tailscale tsrecorder is available. You can download it from Docker Hub.

  • The new autogroup:danger-all ACL type has been added, which matches the previous definition of * when used in the src field. If you are using default ACLs or have specified * in src, you don't need to make any ACL changes to get the new secure behavior.
  • We recommend updating all Tailscale clients to v1.66 to benefit from the additional security improvements.

We recommend updating all Tailscale clients to v1.66.0 or later to benefit from additional security improvements.

All platforms

• Implemented client-side quarantining for shared-in exit nodes, as a mitigation for a security vulnerability described in TS-2024-005.

Linux

• Use the --stateful-filtering flag for the tailscale up to enable stateful filtering for subnet routers and exit nodes, as a mitigation for a security vulnerability described in TS-2024-005.
