Grafana k6 Operator v1.0 is now generally available
We are excited to announce the v1.0 release of the Grafana k6 Operator, a major milestone that brings more predictability and stability to running distributed performance tests on your Kubernetes clusters. The k6 Operator simplifies performance testing at scale, allowing you to test services inside private clusters and coordinate tests across multiple nodes without adding operational complexity.
The k6 Operator offers two Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs): TestRun, to execute a distributed k6 test on a Kubernetes cluster, and PrivateLoadZone, to create a load zone on a Kubernetes cluster for Grafana Cloud k6 to run k6 tests in.
With the v1.0 release, we are committing to a more predictable release schedule, maintenance approach, and a stable upgrade path for the k6 Operator. This includes:
- Semantic Versioning: The k6 Operator will now follow Semantic Versioning 2.0. In general, breaking changes will only be introduced in major releases, with prior deprecation warnings. Refer to stability guarantees for details.
- Predictable Release Schedule: We are committing to a new minor version release every 8 weeks, with more frequent patch releases for bug fixes.
- New Upgrade Guide: To assist our users, we have added a guide on how to upgrade the k6 Operator.
For more details, refer to the release blog post.
