Bumps aisix and aisix-cp to 1.6.0 (version and appVersion), so the charts deploy docker.io/api7/aisix:1.6.0 and docker.io/api7/aisix-cp-{api,dpm}:1.6.0. Merging publishes both charts at 1.6.0.

charts/aisix-cp is synced from helm/aisix-cp at AISIX-Cloud v1.6.0. Every application setting now goes into a config file per component, rendered into a ConfigMap. The dashboard is served by cp-api, so ui-deployment.yaml is gone. ui-service.yaml stays as the 1.5.0-compat Service and now selects the cp-api pods. On top of that:

  • secrets.betterAuthSecret is gone, and api.deploymentMode (default on-premises) is new.
  • api.bootstrapAdmin.* creates the first administrator.
  • New values: api.smtp.*, api.trustedOrigins, api.allowUnsupportedUpgrade, secrets.retiredMasterKeys and externalDatabase.sslRootCert (CA for a database behind a private CA).
  • A 1.5.0 extraEnvVars override of a name the old chart set keeps working across the upgrade.

The public adaptations are preserved:

  • docker.io repositories, with empty tags resolving to appVersion.
  • The 1.5.0-compat env list carries the public 1.5.0 gateway image.
  • The install notes show api.dpImage or docker.io/api7/aisix:<appVersion>.
  • An empty api.dpImage leaves the default to cp-api, which hands out the gateway of its own release.
  • SaaS-only values (api.billing, api.organization, api.domainVerification) carry # @ignored, which upstream carries too, so they stay out of the generated parameters table.

The README covers the first-administrator bootstrap, including the lookup caveat for helm template and Argo CD. It also covers api.deploymentMode, api.trustedOrigins, the private database CA, and what changes when upgrading from 1.5.0.

charts/aisix folds the two held gateway-chart changes for this release:

The CI config-values file now sets request_headers, so the boot check loads that list-typed key.

Closes #402
Closes #403

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • The control-plane API now serves the dashboard directly, with administrator setup guidance and support for trusted origins, SMTP, billing, and database TLS certificates.
    • Added support for retaining retired master keys during key rotation.
    • Added configuration for capturing selected request headers in usage events.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Documented that streamed requests are counted when streams end, which can delay autoscaling signals during bursts.
  • Documentation
    • Updated chart versions and installation, upgrade, and configuration guidance for release 1.6.0.

The gateway records the values of the listed request headers on every usage
event (api7/aisix#1269). Listed under config: with the gateway's default (an
empty list) so it reaches the config file through the ConfigMap.

Merge with the chart bump of the release that ships the key: an older gateway
refuses a config file carrying it.

Fixes api7/AISIX-Cloud#1719
…-rc.1

Templates and values from helm/aisix-cp at v1.6.0-rc.1, keeping the public adaptations (docker.io repositories, empty tags resolving to appVersion, the public 1.5.0 gateway image in the 1.5.0-compat env list). ui-deployment.yaml is removed as upstream removed it; ui-service.yaml stays as the 1.5.0-compat Service selecting cp-api. README updated for the removed dashboard Deployment and Better Auth secret, the first-administrator bootstrap, api.deploymentMode and api.trustedOrigins. CI boots the gateway with observability.usage_event.request_headers set.
…s and keep SaaS-only values out of the parameters table

NOTES.txt names api.dpImage or docker.io/api7/aisix:<appVersion>, as 1.5.0 did, instead of a placeholder. api.billing, api.organization and api.domainVerification carry # @ignored, mirroring AISIX-Cloud#1813.
Bump aisix and aisix-cp to 1.6.0 and sync charts/aisix-cp from AISIX-Cloud v1.6.0 (adds externalDatabase.sslRootCert for a private database CA), keeping the public adaptations.

Walkthrough

The control-plane chart moves dashboard serving into cp-api and adds configuration, administrator bootstrap, and database CA support. The AISIX chart exposes usage-event request headers and documents streamed-request metric timing.

Control-plane chart

Layer / File(s) Summary
API configuration and administrator bootstrap
charts/aisix-cp/values.yaml, charts/aisix-cp/templates/api-configmap.yaml, charts/aisix-cp/templates/_cors.tpl, charts/aisix-cp/templates/_helpers.tpl, charts/aisix-cp/templates/secret.yaml, charts/aisix-cp/templates/api-deployment.yaml, charts/aisix-cp/templates/NOTES.txt, charts/aisix-cp/README.md, charts/aisix-cp/README.md.gotmpl
Adds API deployment, security, mail, billing, pricing, audit, and bootstrap settings. ConfigMap rendering validates deployment-mode and bootstrap inputs. Bootstrap password selection uses a configured password, an existing chart Secret, or a generated value.
API and DPM runtime configuration
charts/aisix-cp/templates/_env.tpl, charts/aisix-cp/templates/_legacy-env.tpl, charts/aisix-cp/templates/_helpers.tpl, charts/aisix-cp/templates/api-deployment.yaml, charts/aisix-cp/templates/dpm-configmap.yaml, charts/aisix-cp/templates/dpm-deployment.yaml, charts/aisix-cp/values.yaml, charts/aisix-cp/README.md, charts/aisix-cp/README.md.gotmpl
Adds ConfigMap-based API and DPM configuration, checksum annotations, and optional CA mounts for external PostgreSQL. Shared environment rendering supports chart 1.5.0 compatibility entries and user overrides. Retired master-key references are added to the API and DPM environment.
Dashboard consolidation and upgrade compatibility
charts/aisix-cp/templates/ui-deployment.yaml, charts/aisix-cp/templates/ui-service.yaml, charts/aisix-cp/values.yaml, charts/aisix-cp/templates/NOTES.txt, charts/aisix-cp/README.md, charts/aisix-cp/README.md.gotmpl
Removes the UI Deployment and points the retained UI Service at API pods. Updates service descriptions, retained UI settings, upgrade instructions, and required-secret guidance for the consolidated dashboard.
Chart release documentation
charts/aisix-cp/Chart.yaml, charts/aisix-cp/README.md
Updates the chart and application versions to 1.6.0 and updates installation and gateway image version guidance.

Usage-event headers and request metrics
charts/aisix/Chart.yaml, charts/aisix/values.yaml, charts/aisix/ci/config-values.yaml, charts/aisix/README.md, charts/aisix/README.md.gotmpl
Adds the usage-event request-header setting and CI example values. Documents that streamed requests are counted when streams end, and that header names are lowercase while credential headers and duplicate entries are rejected at startup.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~50 minutes

Change: Feature


Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 582cd

Changes to chart Secret values may not take effect until the cp-api pods restart for another reason. This matters mainly during master-key rotation. It is easy to fix with a Secret checksum annotation, and nothing else blocks the release.

Full details: E2e Test Quality Review

Explanation

Blocking: the PR adds a new aisix-cp API/DPM configuration path, bootstrap flow, CORS validation, database CA mounts, and dashboard-service migration without an E2E test for the control-plane business flow. The CI workflow lints charts/aisix-cp, but its install tests exclude that chart and only install api7, ingress-controller, and ngxdig. The existing AISIX tests cover gateway startup and listeners, not the changed control-plane flow or request_headers behavior. No test files or targeted scenarios were added in this PR. The complex CORS validator also has no in-repository boundary or invalid-input cases.

Resolution

Add a CI E2E job for charts/aisix-cp that installs and upgrades the chart against a real PostgreSQL service, verifies cp-api, dp-manager, the compatibility UI Service, ConfigMaps, Secret references, bootstrap-admin behavior, and private-CA configuration, and exercises the API through its Service. Add targeted render/E2E cases for empty, valid, invalid, wildcard, IPv4, IPv6, port, SaaS, two-DSN, and legacy extraEnvVars combinations. Extend the gateway E2E checks to assert that config.observability.usage_event.request_headers reaches the rendered configuration and that the gateway accepts it.

- Around line 18-19: Add a checksum/secret annotation to the pod template in the
api-deployment.yaml template, hashing the rendered secret.yaml template with the
current chart context. Keep the existing checksum/config annotation unchanged so
Secret value changes trigger pod rollouts.
