## Highlights
* Helm chart support is now generally available.
## New in this release
Redis Enterprise for Kubernetes 7.22.0-15 is a feature release that includes enhancements, platform updates, and support for Redis Software 7.22.0-216.
### Enhancements
* Call home - support HTTP proxy configuration (RED-156935)
* Helm - optimize installation time (RED-153889)
* Add support for migrating to a Helm-based installation from a non-Helm installation (RED-113099)
* Support upgrade using Helm (RED-153890)
* Support any custom port for database service (different from cluster database port) (RED-156946)
* Hardened the securityContext of init containers created when readOnlyRootFilesystem is enabled
* Kubernetes platform updates, support for Kubernetes 1.33
* Support for Redis Software 7.22.0-216 (RED-163025)
### Resolved Issues
* Adding `servicesAnnotations` in the REC spec keeps updating the services in a loop (RED-154777, RED-158816)
* New call home job is not created if the old one is stuck due to pod in `imagePullBackoff` (RED-157526)
* REAADB ACL roles do not get properly assigned according to `rolesPermissions` in spec (RED-158955)
* CVE fixes
* `allowPrivilegeEscalation` is unset in the init container for `readOnlyRootFilesystem` (RED-163637)
### API changes
| CRD | Field | Change | Description |
| ----- | :---- | :---- | :---- |
| REAADB | `spec.databaseServicePort` | Add | A custom port to be exposed by the database services. Can be modified/added/removed after REDB creation. If set, it replaces the default service port (namely, `databasePort` or `defaultRedisPort`). |
| REC | `spec.usageMeterSpec.CallHomeClient.proxySecretName` | Add | If needed, add proxy details in secret. The name of the proxy secret in the secret, can send the following keys: `proxy-url`, `proxy-username`, `proxy-password` (the URL includes the proxy port). |
| REDB | `spec.databaseServicePort` | Add | A custom port to be exposed by the database services. Can be modified/added/removed after REDB creation. If set, it replaces the default service port (namely, `databasePort` or `defaultRedisPort`). |
