Chapter 4. Camel K release notes
Camel K is a lightweight integration framework built from Apache Camel K that runs natively in the cloud on OpenShift. Camel K is specifically designed for serverless and microservice architectures. You can use Camel K to instantly run integration code written in Camel Domain Specific Language (DSL) directly on OpenShift.
Using Camel K with OpenShift Serverless and Knative, containers are automatically created only as needed and are autoscaled under load up and down to zero. This removes the overhead of server provisioning and maintenance and enables you to focus instead on application development.
Using Camel K with OpenShift Serverless and Knative Eventing, you can manage how components in your system communicate in an event-driven architecture for serverless applications. This provides flexibility and creates efficiencies using a publish/subscribe or event-streaming model with decoupled relationships between event producers and consumers.
4.1. Camel K features
The Camel K provides cloud-native integration with the following main features:
- Knative Serving for autoscaling and scale-to-zero
- Knative Eventing for event-driven architectures
- Performance optimizations using Quarkus runtime by default
- Camel integrations written in Java or YAML DSL
- Monitoring of integrations using Prometheus in OpenShift
- Quickstart tutorials
- Kamelet Catalog for connectors to external systems such as AWS, Jira, and Salesforce
- Support for Timer and Log Kamelets
- Support for IBM MQ connector
- Support for Oracle 19 database
4.2. Supported Configurations
For information about Camel K supported configurations, standards, and components, see the following Customer Portal articles:
4.2.1. Camel K Operator metadata
The Camel K includes updated Operator metadata used to install Camel K from the OpenShift OperatorHub. This Operator metadata includes the Operator bundle format for release packaging, which is designed for use with OpenShift Container Platform 4.6 or later.

4.3. Important notes
Important notes for the Red Hat Integration - Camel K release:
- Removing support of metering labels from Red Hat Integration - Camel K
- Metering labels for Camel K Operator and pods are no longer supported.
- Security update for Red Hat Integration - Camel K
- For details on how to apply this update, see How do I apply package updates to my RHEL system?
You must apply all the previously release Errata upgrades to your system before applying this security update.
- Support to run Camel K on ROSA
- Camel K is now supported to run on Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS (ROSA).
- Support for IBM MQ source connector in Camel K
- IBM MQ source connector kamelet is added to latest Camel K.
- Support for Oracle 19
- Oracle 19 is now supported in Camel K. Refer Supported configurations page for more information.
- Using Camel K CLI commands on Windows machine
-
When using kamel cli commands on Windows machine, the path in the
resourceoption in the command must use linux format. For example:
//Windows path kamel run file.groovy --dev --resource file:C:\user\folder\tempfile@/tmp/file.txt //Must be converted to kamel run file.groovy --dev --resource file:C:/user/folder/tempfile@/tmp/file.txt
- Red Hat Integration - Camel K Operator image size is increased
- Since Red Hat Integration - Camel K 1.10.1.redhat-00026, the size of the Camel K Operator image is doubled.
- Accepted Camel case notations in YAML DSL
-
Since Red Hat Integration - Camel K 1.10.1.redhat-00026, the YAML DSL will accept camel case notation (i.e,
setBody) as well as snake case (i.eset-body). Please note that there are some differences in the syntax as schema is subject to changes within Camel versions.

4.6. Camel K known issues
The following known issues apply to the Camel K:
ENTESB-15306 - CRD conflicts between Camel K and Fuse Online
If an older version of Camel K has ever been installed in the same OpenShift cluster, installing Camel K from the OperatorHub fails due to conflicts with custom resource definitions. For example, this includes older versions of Camel K previously available in Fuse Online.
For a workaround, you can install Camel K in a different OpenShift cluster, or enter the following command before installing Camel K:
$ oc get crds -l app=camel-k -o json | oc delete -f -
ENTESB-15858 - Added ability to package and run Camel integrations locally or as container images
Packaging and running Camel integrations locally or as container images is not currently included in the Camel K and has community-only support.
For more details, see the Apache Camel K community.
ENTESB-16477 - Unable to download jira client dependency with productized build
When using Camel K operator, the integration is unable to find dependencies for jira client. The work around is to add the atlassian repo manually.
apiVersion: camel.apache.org/v1
kind: IntegrationPlatform
metadata:
labels:
app: camel-k
name: camel-k
spec:
configuration:
- type: repository
value: <atlassian repo here>ENTESB-17033 - Camel-K ElasticsearchComponent options ignored
When configuring the Elasticsearch component, the Camel K ElasticsearchComponent options are ignored. The work around is to add getContext().setAutowiredEnabled(false) when using the Elasticsearch component.
ENTESB-17061 - Can’t run mongo-db-source kamelet route with non-admin user - Failed to start route mongodb-source-1 because of null
It is not possible to run mongo-db-source kamelet route with non-admin user credentials. Some part of the component require admin credentials hence it is not possible run the route as a non-admin user.
