2025-08-07
Operator v1.1.0
If your team uses DevMesh for traffic routing, action may be required to ensure continued compatibility. This operator version replaces the DevMesh sidecar with new a version which is incompatible with older operators with respect to Smart Test functionality. These sidecars are not updated during operator upgrade via Helm, but rather via Kubernetes Webhooks. The CLI version 1.1 adds a command signadot cluster devmesh analyze
which identifies old devmesh sidecars and can be used to restart workloads which will in turn cause the sidecars to be updated.
Added
- Sandboxes now support a new sandboxed workload type called a VirtualWorkload used to intercept traffic to a baseline without providing an alternate backing workload.
- A new central
traffic-manager
replaces thesandbox-traffic-manager
sidecars. - The Helm install now supports providing the cluster token in values (
--set agent.clusterToken
) - The Helm install now supports providing the name of the Secret used to hold the cluster token (
--set agent.tokenSecret
) - All operator workloads except the routeserver now allow for configuring the number of replicas with Helm values.
Changed
- When running with Istio enabled, we now skip instrumentation of HTTPRoutes which contain matches for OTel
baggage
ortracestate
headers or custom headers. Such HTTPRoutes are problematic to combine with our request routing. - Kubernetes Probes no longer pass through the sandbox traffic manager in sandboxes, rather they go directly to the main application.
Removed
- The sandbox-traffic-manager component has been removed, including the associated
sandboxTrafficManager
helm values section. - Istio deprecatedHostRouting is no longer supported and has been removed from Helm values.
Fixed
- When running with Istio enabled, modified VirtualServices now preserve the exact syntax of pre-existing HTTPRoutes.

Operator v0.19.1
-
Operator v0.19.1 default installation contains a memory leak in the new
sandbox-traffic-manager
component which can cause issues for long running sandboxes which contain forks. Additionally,sandbox-traffic-manger
does not support HTTP CONNECT. To avoid these problems, we recommend installing with helm valuessandboxTrafficManager:
enabled: falseThese issues will be fixed in an upcoming release.
-
Check the "Removed" section for details. If you are using non-standard headers for routing aside from
baggage
ortracestate
for routing, you may need to add them as custom headers when you upgrade.
Removed
- The operator no longer routes using the following HTTP/gRPC headers by default:
- uberctx-sd-routing-key
- uberctx-sd-sandbox
- ot-baggage-sd-routing-key
- ot-baggage-sd-sandbox
If you are making use of these, please use the new custom headers settings
described below. If you are using the standard OpenTelemetry
baggage
ortracestate
headers, no action is necessary.
Added
- Support for the Linkerd service mesh, install with helm
value
linkerd.enabled = true
. - Support for custom routing headers. See custom headers for details.

sandbox traffic manager.
- X-Forwarded-For now appends client IP address at each hop of a series of proxies.

- X-Forwarded-Proto is set when absent or pass-through when present.

allowedNamespaces
helm value). - JobRunnerGroup controller now preserves user-provided
imagePullSecrets
for images in JobRunnerGroup pods.
Changed
- Resolved an issue with the
sandboxTrafficManager.enabled
helm value, which previously required the string values "true" or "false" instead of boolean values. - It is now possible to use the sandbox traffic manager component for sandbox
forks while independently controlling traffic capture for specific scenarios
like Smart Tests using the
trafficCapture.enabled
helm parameter. - When running with restricted namespaces,
signadot
namespace is now always included by default.
