The VPA Helm chart now manages CRDs as templates so upgrades keep them in sync, while kOps test infra adds full Amazon Linux 2027 support and minikube fixes a Hugo security break.

The vertical-pod-autoscaler chart shipped 0.12.0 [1] with a breaking structural change: CRDs moved from the crds/ folder (Helm never updates on helm upgrade) to templates/crds/, so they now sync automatically with the chart version instead of requiring manual kubectl apply [2]. The move is gated behind a new crds.enabled value (default true) [2]. Upgrading to 0.12.0 changes how CRDs are deployed; users who disabled CRD management must set crds.enabled=false.

[kops] test-infra graduates Amazon Linux 2027 from optional presubmits to a full distro in the grid and periodic jobs [3][4]. The change adds 116 jobs across al2027 and al2027arm64 and gates them to kops 1.37 and latest, since kops 1.35 and 1.36 do not recognize the amzn-2027 distro and would hit nodeup's unsupported distro error [4]. The previously redundant pull-kops-e2e-k8s-aws-al2027 presubmit was dropped to avoid testgrid duplicate-name validation failures [5]. Also, the etcd-operator jobs no longer test the customized-controller branch [6].

minikube's site build hit a breaking change from Hugo: "Hugo v0.162.0 introduced a security.allowContent policy that blocks text/html content files by default" [7]. With 138 .html content files, any Hugo bump past v0.162.0 broke Netlify deploys with an access denied error. The fix adds [security] allowContent = ['.*'] to site/config.toml, and Hugo was bumped from v0.160.1 to v0.165.0 [8][9]. Separately, minikube fixed a test timeout by raising TestNoKubernetes from 5m to 15m; on KVM the preceding subtests took ~293.4s, leaving little time and causing the VM to be killed mid-boot with misleading 'connect: no route to host' errors [10]. Dependency bumps address two high-priority grype findings: golang.org/x/crypto to v0.56.0 and go-getter to v1.8.6, while grpc and docker remain untouched because no fixed upstream release exists [11].
