Create an OS Package Bundle for an Air-gapped Environment using Konvoy Image Builder (KIB)

In previous releases, package bundles were downloaded from D2IQ. Now, the air-gapped packages can be built locatlly after downloading the original air-gapped bundle and untarring it. To build the air-gapped package bundle for an Operating System (OS), you would run a new KIB command create-package-bundle. In the location where you untar the downloaded package, there is a bundles directory. All the steps to create an OS package bundle for a particular OS are located there. An example for creating the bundle is to run:

CODE

./konvoy-image create-package-bundle  --os=centos-7.9  --output-directory=artifacts/

This builds an OS bundle for Centos-7.9 using the Kubernetes version defined in the default YAML -ansible/group_vars/all/defaults.yaml.

The new release of Konvoy Image Builder:

Upgrades the defaults Kubernetes version to v1.28.7
