Improvements

• Updated AWS dependencies to support IAM Roles for Service Accounts (IRSA) on EKS clusters.

Improvements

Rest API

• Improved error message when trying to create a deployment without a deployment target.
• Improved error message when sending requests containing invalid namespace names.

UI

• Forking a Deployment from a Savepoint no longer changes spec.restoreStrategy to LATEST_SAVEPOINT if it was LATEST_STATE before.
• Links to the Apache Flink® UI are available earlier during the Deployment lifecycle. In particular, it should no longer happen that they remain inactive throughout the lifecycle of a batch job.

Bug Fixes

Deployments

• Using placeholders in the Apache Flink® configuration option high-availability.storageDir works now.
• Fixed an issue with updating deployment defaults in certain situations - e.g. when switching from using deploymentTargetId to using deploymentTargetName.

Savepoints

• When adding a Savepoint manually, metadata.origin will automatically be set to COPIED and must no longer be specified.
• Savepoints with invalid metadata.jobId can be deleted now.
• Deleting a Savepoint without spec.savepointLocation no longer causes all other Savepoints with no location to be scheduled for deletion as well. Instead, only the original Savepoint will be affected.
