GitLab Chart works towards Kubernetes 1.22

GitLab is updating its Chart and Operator to support Kubernetes 1.22, requiring an update to the NGINX Ingress Controller to version 1.0.4 to comply with the new networking.k8s.io/v1 API, which means dropping support for Kubernetes versions prior to 1.19. Users needing to support Kubernetes 1.18 or older can only deploy up to Chart version 5.5.x. This change primarily affects deployments using the NGINX Ingress Controller provided by the GitLab Chart, although those using alternative Ingress providers like AWS ALB, Azure Application Gateway, or Google GCE Ingress will not be impacted. While most GitLab instances are expected to transition smoothly, users are advised to back up their data before upgrading to safeguard against potential issues. Upgrades may result in IP address changes associated with Ingresses, necessitating DNS record updates, especially if not managed by external-dns. Users encountering problems during the upgrade are encouraged to contact GitLab Support or open an issue in the relevant GitLab projects.
