1.2. New features and enhancements

With this release, you can run MicroShift and your workloads with either IPv6 only or IPv4 and IPv6 dual-stack networking protocols. Ingress and egress traffic can be on either IPv4 or IPv6 traffic, mixed or parallel. See Configuring IPv6 networking.

With this release, the resource footprint of the LVM storage driver is significantly reduced, particularly in terms of memory consumption.

With this release, MicroShift can now be configured to disable and uninstall the container storage interface (CSI) provider or the CSI snapshot capabilities which can reduce the use of runtime resources such as RAM, CPU, and storage. See Disabling and uninstalling LVMS CSI provider and CSI snapshot deployments.

You can now run a MicroShift cluster with low-latency response rates. Using a low-latency MicroShift configuration with operating system tuning results in reduced application response times and can include deterministic performance. Using workload partitioning is also recommended. See Configuring low latency for more information.

With this release, workload partitioning is supported in MicroShift. See Workload partitioning for more information.

With this release, the microshift-cleanup-data script is documented. See Data cleanup for more information.

With this release, system requirements, installation types, and information about installing add-ons are reorganized into discrete topics so that they are easier to use.
