v1.5.0 – Edera

v1.5.0

Release Notes

✨ New Features & Enhancements

Falco Plugin Published & Open-Sourced

The Edera Falco plugin is now published as part of formal Edera releases and is fully open-sourced. The plugin now exposes the same queryable fields on zone-level events that Falco exposes for host events. Supported field classes include:

Switched to astral-tokio-tar

Replaced krata-tokio-tar with astral-tokio-tar for more robust and actively maintained async tar handling.

Styrolite Split Into Its Own Repository

Styrolite has been moved into a dedicated repo and is now consumed as an independent crate. This reduces cross-repo coupling and improves build graph clarity.

GPU Scrub Daemon Added

Added protect-gpu-scrub, a temporary but important stopgap before full GPU device lifecycle management lands. It ensures GPU memory is scrubbed between workloads.

Zone-BPF Kernel Flavor Merged Into Default Kernel

The previously separate zone-bpf kernel flavor has been merged into the baseline zone kernel. Users no longer need a custom kernel to run in-zone eBPF tooling. This simplifies operational workflows and reduces kernel variant fragmentation.

🐛 Bug Fixes

Lower-Latency Pod Destruction

A large portion of zone destruction has been moved into StopPodSandbox, significantly reducing Kubernetes pod teardown latency.

Correct Handling of Start Time = 0

Added logic to ensure containers reporting a start time of 0 are not treated as Running while StartContainer is still in progress.

Fixed Unsafe Locking Post-Fork

Resolved potentially unsafe locking interactions after a process fork.

Corrected kubelet override.conf Generation

Fixed a bug causing incorrect generation of kubelet’s override.conf.

IDM Client Blocking Zone Launch

Fixed an issue where IDM clients could unintentionally block zone creation.

Corrected Version Reporting in protect-ctl

Fixed a bug that caused protect-ctl to report the wrong Edera version.

Known issues

None reported in this release.

Upgrade notes

There are no known breaking changes in this release from the previous release v1.4.0.
