Ambassador 0.26 released

Ambassador Labs 0.26 is available today. This release includes the following enhancements and improvements, including:

• Support redirect cleartext connections on port 80 to HTTPS on port 443 with the redirect_cleartext_from annotation (documentation here)
• Streamlined end-to-end tests to eliminate dependency on our Kubernaut automated test infrastructure
• Misc documentation fixes and improvements (thanks to Nicolas Drapeau)

Testing out Ambassador 0.26

You can get Ambassador 0.26 running with a single Docker command:

docker run -it -p 8080:80 --name=ambassador --rm quay.io/datawire/ambassador:0.26.0 --demo

Or follow the Getting Started guide to get it running on Kubernetes.

Upgrading Ambassador 0.26

Ambassador Labs relies on Kubernetes deployments for updates. To update Ambassador, change your Kubernetes manifest to point to quay.io/datawire/ambassador:0.26.0 and run kubectl apply on the updated manifest. Kubernetes will apply a rolling update and update to 0.26.
