Strimzi Operators 0.20.0 is now available with a lot of important changes and improvements. The main changes since the 0.19.0 release include: * Add support for Kafka 2.5.1 and 2.6.0. Remove support for 2.4.0 and 2.4.1 * Make `listeners` configurable as an array and add support for more different listeners in single cluster * Remove TLS sidecars from Kafka pods => Kafka now uses native TLS to connect to ZooKeeper * Updated to Cruise Control 2.5.11, which adds Kafka 2.6.0 support and fixes a previous issue with CPU utilization statistics for containers. As a result, the CPUCapacityGoal has now been enabled. * Configure Cluster Operator logging using ConfigMap instead of environment variable and support dynamic changes * Switch to use the `AclAuthorizer` class for the `simple` Kafka authorization type. `AclAuthorizer` contains new features such as the ability to control the amount of authorization logs in the broker logs. * Support dynamic logging configuration of Kafka, Kafka Connect, Kafka Connect S2I and Kafka MirrorMaker2 * Add support for `client.rack` property for Kafka Connect to use `fetch from closest replica` feature. * Add support for configuring `hostAliases` in Pod templates * Cruise Control metrics integration including a new Grafana dashboard * Improved operators Grafana dashboard * Improvements to OAuth authentication and Keycloak authorization There are also some deprecations and removals which you should be aware of: * Deprecation of the old listener configuration * Removal of monitoring port on Kafka and ZooKeeper related services * Deprecation of Kafka TLS sidecar configuration 0.20.0 will also be the last version of Strimzi that will support Kubernetes 1.11-1.15.
