Welcome

Bitnami recently announced that ongoing use of their container images in production environments will require a subscription. As a result, their image locations are changing and any current open source images will no longer be maintained. The Ping Helm chart has used the Bitnami kubectl image as the default for the cronjob sidecar, and starting September 29, 2025, this change by Bitnami will result in failures deploying the chart with the default value if sidecars are enabled.

The pingtoolkit image contains the necessary commands (sh and kubectl), and will be the default in the Ping Helm chart moving forward. With the release of this documentation, a new chart version is available. The only change from 0.11.11 to 0.11.12 is this default image replacement.
