odo release notes

Notable changes and improvements in odo

  • odo now supports Devfile v2.

  • odo create -s2i now converts an S2I component into a devfile component. When running odo create --s2i <component-type> odo now creates a converted Devfile component based on the S2I images of the specified component type.

    Note that this feature introduces many breaking changes, see Known Issues to learn more.

  • Operator based service is now created on the cluster only after you run odo push and not after odo service create anymore.

  • You can now use the --container flag to specify the container you want to attach storage to when running odo storage create command. See Adding storage to a specific container to learn the details.

  • odo catalog component describe now returns correct JSON if the same name is used for a component in multiple registries.

  • Commands that implement changes directly on a cluster now display a message informing a user that odo push is not required.

  • When creating a component from a devfile, odo create now uses a default component name if the name is not specified.

  • odo now has Telemetry. See Telemetry section to learn how to modify your Telemetry consent preferences.

  • With odo service, you can now add or remove custom resource definitions and ServiceInstance information in your devfile.
