Cloud Provider Equinix Metal v3.6.0 Release
This release is v3.6.0 of the cloud-provider-equinix-metal project, which provides a Kubernetes cloud controller manager for Equinix Metal. It includes 25 changes, the most exciting change being an upgrade path for users to get the latest version of MetalLB. This means better BGP-based network load balancing across their enabled worker nodes via custom resources. A lesser but still important change is that CPEM no longer does a health check on an incorrect service if said service was created in the default namespace. Various other updates were also bundled into this version such as updating Go language dependencies and improving linting for developer code.Check out the CPEM documentation for MetalLB for more details and review a sample migration path provided by MetalLB.CPEM officially in the K8s Cloud Provider SIG
