CONSUL-K8S PATCHES HELM VALUE PARSING BUG BLOCKING CUSTOM GATEWAY DEPLOYMENTS

By RepoJournal · Filed · About HashiCorp

A critical boolean-to-string conversion flaw in the consul-k8s CLI is preventing users from deploying custom gateways with resource limits, fixed today across two merged PRs.

The consul-k8s CLI was parsing Helm values.yaml files with strict type checking, rejecting legitimate boolean representations that the charts themselves accept [1]. This broke deployments where operators passed custom CPU/memory limits to custom gateway configurations because the resources-ocp filename wasn't being resolved correctly [2]. Both fixes shipped: the value parsing issue is resolved [3] and the custom gateway filename mismatch is patched [4]. In parallel, consul proper is hardening its container image with curl 8.20.0 to address seven CVEs [5], and UBI images are being bumped to 9.8 for additional security coverage [6]. Meanwhile, consul-ecs is migrating to v2 APIs and Go 1.26 [7], a significant modernization that requires testing against your ECS deployment patterns.
