What is HAProxy Kubernetes Ingress Controller?

Nineteen patches into 3.2, HAProxy's ingress controller is mostly bumping dependencies

The controller remains on the 3.2 patch line. Since v3.2.14 the only release of substance is v3.2.15, which stopped filtering ingresses on IngressClass name at ingestion, reworked status publishing and moved to Go 1.27. Later patches are mainly dependency and tooling updates, with v3.2.18 keeping every TLS secret of an ingress on the same host and v3.2.19 fixing a data race on the reload flag.

What is Terragrunt?

Terragrunt 1.2's last candidate finishes eleven experiments and locks down state buckets.

Terragrunt v1.2.0-rc3, dated mid-October, is declared the final candidate: unless a blocker appears, v1.2.0 ships with its contents. The cycle completes eleven experiments, among them OCI, block-iteration, azure-backend and optional-hooks. Two changes need attention: base64gzip() now returns the Go 1.27 encoder's output, which can trigger resource replacements, and S3 bootstrapping no longer adds the RootAccess bucket policy statement.

HAProxy Kubernetes Ingress Controller vs Terragrunt: editorial side-by-side

H5.0

Nineteen patches into 3.2, HAProxy's ingress controller is mostly bumping dependencies

◆ Current state

The controller remains on the 3.2 patch line. Since v3.2.14 the only release of substance is v3.2.15, which stopped filtering ingresses on IngressClass name at ingestion, reworked status publishing and moved to Go 1.27. Later patches are mainly dependency and tooling updates, with v3.2.18 keeping every TLS secret of an ingress on the same host and v3.2.19 fixing a data race on the reload flag.

◆ Where it's heading

The ssl-passthrough theme has faded, and the series is now closer to routine upkeep than stabilization. Fixes have moved to ingress class handling, TLS secret storage and concurrency, with test coverage arriving in the same changes. Patches keep coming, but no new configuration surface has appeared on this line in the entries shown, apart from amending the SSL frontend through a custom resource in v3.2.15.

◆ Prediction

Expect further patches dominated by go.mod and Kubernetes client updates, with new capability waiting for a later line.

Terragrunt 1.2's last candidate finishes eleven experiments and locks down state buckets.

◆ Current state

Terragrunt v1.2.0-rc3, dated mid-October, is declared the final candidate: unless a blocker appears, v1.2.0 ships with its contents. The cycle completes eleven experiments, among them OCI, block-iteration, azure-backend and optional-hooks. Two changes need attention: base64gzip() now returns the Go 1.27 encoder's output, which can trigger resource replacements, and S3 bootstrapping no longer adds the RootAccess bucket policy statement.

◆ Where it's heading

The graduation model has repeated at a larger scale: six experiments in v1.1, eleven in v1.2. The candidates ran as stabilization, with fixes concentrated in the CAS, the catalog and the Provider Cache Server. Each breaking change also ships with an escape hatch, base64gzip_compat() or enable_bucket_root_access, which shows how seriously the project treats its 1.0 guarantees.

◆ Prediction

v1.2.0 final is the next release, since rc3 says only regression or urgent fixes will land first. It has not appeared in this feed in the 18 days since rc3.
