Get started with Emissary on Kubernetes - https://www.getambassador.io/user-guide/getting-started

• Change: The envoy version included in Emissary-ingress has been upgraded from 1.17 to the latest
  patch release of 1.22. This provides Emissary-ingress with the latest security patches,
  performances enhancments, and features offered by the envoy proxy. One notable change that will
  effect users is the removal of support for V2 tranport protocol. See below for more information.

• Change: Emissary-ingress can no longer be made to configure Envoy using the v2 xDS configuration
  API; it now always uses the v3 xDS API to configure Envoy. This change should be mostly invisible
  to users, with one notable exception: It removes support for regex_type: unsafe.
  The
  regex_type field will is removed from the ambassador Module, meaning that it is not be
  possible to instruct Envoy to use the ECMAScript Regex engine rather than
  the default RE2 engine.
  Users who rely on the specific
  ECMAScript Regex syntax will need to rewrite their regular expressions with RE2 syntax before
  upgrading to Emissary-ingress 3.0.0.
  As the xDS version is no longer configurable and the range of
  supported Zipkin protocols is reduced (see below), the AMBASSADOR_ENVOY_API_VERSION environment
  variable has been removed.

• Change: With the ugprade to Envoy 1.22, Emissary-ingress no longer supports the V2 transport
  protocol. The AuthService, LogService and the RateLimitService will only support the v3
  protocol_version. If protocol_version is not specified, the default value of v2 will cause an
  error to be posted. Therefore, you will need to set it to protocol_version: "v3". If upgrading
  from a previous version you will want to set it to "v3" and ensure it is working before upgrading
  to Emissary-ingress 3.Y.

• Change: With the upgrade to Envoy 1.22, the zipkin driver for the TraceService no longer
  supports setting the collector_endpoint_version: HTTP_JSON_V1. This was removed in Envoy 1.20 -
  .
  The new default will be collector_endpoint_version: HTTP_JSON, regardless of the
  AMBASSADOR_ENVOY_API_VERSION environment variable.

• Change: In the standard published .yaml files, now included is a Module resource that disables
  the /ambassador/v0/ → 127.0.0.1:8878 synthetic mapping. We have long recommended to turn
  this off for production use; it is now off in the standard YAML. The associated Helm chart
  release also now disables it by default. A later apiVersion (getambassador.io/v3alpha2 or
  later) will likely change the Module CRD so that it is disabled if unspecified; but in the
  mean-time, the default install procedure will now specify it to be disabled.

• Change: This release does not include the publishing of emissary-emissaryns-agent.yaml,
  emissary-defaultns-agent.yaml, emissary-emissaryns-migration.yaml, or
  emissary-defaultns-migration.yaml files. All four of these files existed solely as part of the
  migration process from 1;y, but since 2.2.0 the *-migration.yaml files have not been part of the
  migration instructions, and while the *-agent.yaml files remained part of the instructions they
  were actually unnescessary.

• Change: The previous version of Emissary-ingress was based on Envoy 1.17 and when using grpc_stats
  with all_methods or services set, it would output metrics in the following format
  envoy_cluster_grpc_{ServiceName}_{statname}. When neither of these fields are set it would be
  aggregated to envoy_cluster_grpc_{statname}.
  The new behavior since Envoy 1.18 will produce
  metrics in the following format envoy_cluster_grpc_{MethodName}_statsname and
  envoy_cluster_grpc_statsname.
  After further investigation we found that Envoy doesn't properly
  parse service names such as cncf.telepresence.Manager/Status. In the future, we will work
  upstream Envoy to get this parsing logic fixed to ensure consistent metric naming.

• Bugfix: Previously setting grpc_stats in the ambassador Module without setting either
  grpc_stats.services or grpc_stats.all_methods would result in crashing. Now it behaves as if
  grpc_stats.all_methods=false.

• Feature: With the ugprade to Envoy 1.22, Emissary-ingress can now be configured to listen for
  HTTP/3 connections using QUIC and the UDP network protocol. It currently only supports for
  connections between downstream clients and Emissary-ingress.
