odo release notes

Notable changes and improvements in odo

  • A --now flag is added for odo create, odo url, and odo config.

    Run odo url create --now to create the URL in the configuration and propagate all the changes to the cluster.

  • An odo debug info command is added. The command displays if the debug mode is enabled for a component, if the port-forward process is running, and information about ports used.

  • The odo push output now shows the exact error from the OpenShift cluster on failure.

  • A --secure flag is added for odo url. It indicates whether a URL is secure.

  • odo storage list now displays the information about the storage state: Pushed, NotPushed or Locally Deleted.

  • odo debug port-forward now selects a port automatically if the default port (5858) is occupied.

  • The --all flag is renamed to --all-apps.

  • The default PVC size has been increased to 10GiB.

  • The JSON output for odo storage list -o json has been restructured.

  • nodejs-8 and nodejs-10 images are no longer supported.

  • Experimental mode feature. By default, features under development or in experimental mode are hidden from the user.

    • To enable experimental mode, run:

      $ odo config set --env ODO_EXPERIMENTAL=true

      or

      $ odo preference set experimental true

    • To disable experimental mode, run:

      $ odo config unset --env ODO_EXPERIMENTAL

      or

      $ odo preference set experimental false

  • odo now supports Ingress to create URLs on Kubernetes.

Technology Preview features odo

  • odo debug is a feature that allows users to attach a local debugger to a component running in the Pod. To learn more, see Debugging applications in odo

odo debug is a Technology Preview feature only. Technology Preview features are not supported with Red Hat production service level agreements (SLAs) and might not be functionally complete. Red Hat does not recommend using them in production. These features provide early access to upcoming product features, enabling customers to test functionality and provide feedback during the development process.

For more information about the support scope of Red Hat Technology Preview features, see https://access.redhat.com/support/offerings/techpreview/.

  • Devfile support. You can now create and deploy your applications using the devfiles with odo. A devfile is a file that defines the development environment: environment variables, image, and so on. To access this feature, you must enable experimental mode with odo preference set experimental true.

    To see the list of currently supported devfile components, run odo catalog list components
