OPENSTACK CLOUD CONTROLLER MANAGER 2.36.1 SHIPS AS MANILA CSI GETS PROBE RETRY FIX
By RepoJournal · Filed · About Kubernetes
The OpenStack cloud provider released version 2.36.1 of its Helm chart while engineers fix critical snapshot deletion bugs in Cinder that could silently leak backups.
OpenStack Cloud Controller Manager hit 2.36.1 [1], the stable release track for operators running Kubernetes on OpenStack infrastructure. In parallel, the Cinder CSI plugin received a critical fix for snapshot deletion [2]: when a backup lookup fails with a non-404 error, the snapshotter now properly retries instead of treating downstream failures as success, preventing orphaned backups [3]. The Manila CSI plugin also shipped a retry mechanism for proxied probe requests on Unavailable responses [4], hardening resilience during transient service degradation. Away from the cloud provider ecosystem, Kubernetes documentation migrated Russian-language docs from the outdated codenew shortcode to code_sample [5], part of a broader modernization effort [6]. A separate build fix landed in the website repository, skipping npm lifecycle scripts to prevent unused Hugo binary downloads that were breaking arm64 image builds [7]. The steering election added @lachie83 as an approved voter exception for 2026 [8]. Dependabot bumped cel-go from 0.26.1 to 0.29.0 across the stack [9].
