Camunda 8 Run no longer requires Java

Camunda 8 Run now ships with a bundled Java runtime. You no longer need to install OpenJDK or set JAVA_HOME before starting it.

Helm chart deployment

Important changes to Helm chart deployment in 8.10 are as follows:

Helm v4 required

Breaking change

Camunda 8.10 (chart 15.x) supports the Helm CLI v4 only. Earlier Camunda versions are the last to support the Helm v3 CLI.

Switching CLIs does not require a release-state migration; Helm is client-side only. Before you run helm upgrade to 8.10, install the Helm v4 CLI.

• Move from the Helm v3 CLI to v4
• Helm 4

Host network support for orchestration cluster pods

The 8.10 Helm chart adds orchestration.hostNetwork (default: false), which lets orchestration cluster pods share the host node's network namespace. This is useful in bare-metal or restricted network environments where pods must be reachable directly via the node IP rather than a cluster overlay network.

Configure pod networking
