Consul 1.11.3 introduces several fixes. This one is very critical and is causing downtime on our ingress controller.

Feature Description

I would like consul k8s and its helm chart to support consul v1.11.3.

Use Case(s)

To get consul's latest bugfixes, including the one mentioned above that solves a problem with ingress controllers which use the dialedDirectly feature of transparent proxy.

Contributions

We could open a PR following #976, but I do not think that is possible since community PRs cannot add Changelog entries.

Hi @FelipeEmerim you could easily upgrade to 1.11.3 using your existing Helm chart as described here: https://www.consul.io/docs/k8s/upgrade#consul-version-upgrade. It is best practice to set the global.image variable in your values.yaml file, so bumping that 1.11.3 would be a solution. We will be making some changes shortly to bump the default version of Consul to 1.11.3 as well.

Thank you for the quick response, I will try bumping the image as you said.

It worked, than you!

Great, I'll close this issue but we'll make sure to roll out 1.11.3 as the default shortly. Thanks!

Hi just an update, we'll actually be rolling out to 1.11.4 instead as the default sometime next week instead of 1.11.3 since there is a UI bug on Consul that folks are hitting.

Thank you for the notice. We will keep an eye out for the new update.
