v2.18.0

Notable Changes

• OpenShift Console & DS Projects Improvements
  • Projects created in OpenShift Console can now be read in by the Dashboard
  • There is a dropdown on the DS Projects list view that allows you to switch between DS only Projects and all projects your user has RBAC access to
  • There is a limiting nature to some of the projects shown here, but they should only impact the cluster-admin user (you will not be able to see the openshift- and kube- prefixed projects that you can in OpenShift Console, for instance)
  • We remember this setting for convenience
  • Data Science flows should work fine in these projects
• KServe feature in the Operator's DataScienceCluster (DSC) is now available in the Dashboard
  • Single model (KServe) & multi-model (Model Mesh) are now supported in the Dashboard
  • New installs will favour single model Model Serving
  • Existing installs should continue running on the multi-model Model Serving
• "Area" Checks now auto hide Dashboard flows
  • If you disable a resource in the DSC (managementState: Removed), it should hide the corresponding section in the UI
  • Feature flags exist for the same set of DSC resources (in addition to several flows specific to the UI -- like Projects View)
    • This is intended to give extra flexibility in hiding UI flows but keeping on-cluster resources for GitOps or other API driven flows
  • Disabling either DSC managementState status or the feature flag will hide that area in the Dashboard
    • If the area is reliant on another area that is disabled, the flows for that area should hide as well
  • For more details on how the relationship is constructed, see our Areas map
• General bug improvements
