Release notes

  • Adds draft release notes for KubeArmor v1.6.8 detailing new features such as username inclusion in host logs, container runtime socket selection via Helm, and workload resource defaults.
  • Documents miscellaneous updates including CI workflow corrections, LSM ordering control in tests, host-only run enhancements, dependency updates, and static analysis noise reduction.
  • Includes bug fix documentation focusing on concurrency improvements in policy handling, thread-safe alert throttling, improved container runtime detection, manifest generation fixes, and RHEL9 build gating adjustments.
  • Corrects the heading for v1.6.8 release notes from '## v1.6.8' to '## v1.6.8 Release' to improve clarity and consistency.
  • Updates the v1.6.8 release notes heading to '## v1.6.8 Release' for improved clarity.
  • Patches the release notes JSON block formatting to use JSONC for better readability and maintainability.
  • Replaces the JSON block in the v1.6.8 release notes with explicit bulleted lists describing new features, bug fixes, and miscellaneous updates, enhancing readability.
  • Hides the original JSON content within HTML comment blocks to maintain source data without cluttering the rendered notes.
  • Deletes the 'getting-started/release-notes/v1.6.md' file to remove previous release notes artifacts.
  • Refines release notes by recreating the v1.6.8 section without JSON artifacts for cleaner presentation.
  • Restores the v1.6 release notes file with the structured v1.6.8 release notes section including bulleted entries for all changes and the extended detailed v1.6 release overview.
  • Adds detailed documentation in the deployment guide on setting the CRI socket file explicitly via Helm with examples.
  • Clarifies and corrects the Helm socket-file configuration guidance, including advice on helm value keys, flag usage, and version-specific considerations.
  • Adds warnings and notes explaining non-prescriptive usage of socket-file Helm options and linking to upstream Helm chart resources for accurate configuration.
  • Enhances user instructions with examples to avoid unverified or incorrect Helm key settings for socket-file configuration.
  • Includes updated sample policy examples, CLI installation instructions, and troubleshooting notes related to deployment and runtime policy enforcement.

Deployment Guide and Event Logging Documentation

  • Adds detailed instructions to the deployment guide on configuring the CRI socket path explicitly in Helm deployments, emphasizing caution about Helm version variations and unreliability of certain Helm key paths.
  • Incorporates warning hints about the variability of Helm chart versions impacting the socket-file flag's effectiveness and recommends consulting upstream Helm chart documentation.
  • Introduces examples of Helm commands for deploying KubeArmor Operator with appropriate socket-file settings.
  • Expands documentation of KubeArmor logs by adding a comprehensive new page explaining supported event formats, container telemetry field structures, and specifically the structured 'EventData' field derived from parsed syscall and network data.
  • Provides detailed protobuf message schema excerpts and Go implementation summaries illustrating how logs and alerts are formatted, transmitted via gRPC, and handled by clients.
  • Enhances understanding of the Log Feeder component that streams policy enforcement, telemetry, and alert events in real-time to clients via gRPC, supporting tools like karmor CLI and integration with SIEM systems.
  • Documents examples of various event types (process, file, network) in JSON to illustrate field usage and parsing logic around EventData for security monitoring purposes.
