Jan 1, 2025January 2025 — Teleport development delivered measurable reliability, observability, and workflow improvements across autoupdate and agent updater capabilities, alongside broad reliability and testing enhancements. Key changes include autoupdate rollout enhancements with maintenance window support, improved resource marshaling for autoupdate resources, new metrics and a tctl command to display agent auto-update status, and agent updater protocol improvements prioritizing the web API proxy protocol with safe fallbacks. In internal reliability, metrics, logging and tests, we introduced lint and code-quality improvements, a non-global metrics registry and local metrics registry, runtime local registry initialization, and improved shutdown behavior during partial initializations, which improved stability during deploys and runtime diagnostics. We also fixed critical bugs affecting autoupdate resource marshalling, flaky database init tests, and proxy shutdown in partial-init scenarios, along with targeted test fixes to stabilize environments. These efforts reduce operational risk, improve incident response, and provide clearer visibility into automation workflows, enabling safer autoupdates and faster deployment of security/feature updates.
