This document provides an overview over the changes we are making over time. Feel free to reach out to us in case of any specific questions.
- New: Added support for Persistent Volumes.
Mount paths are specied on the workload level.
We will shift the product update to April 9th due to the short break over Easter.
-
New: Forms for adding resource definitions now present fields in a more intuitive order and include help text.
-
Improvement: Draft can now be discarded even if it is the only draft. (A new blank draft is created in its place.)
-
Fixed: Behaviour of clones in the UI is corrected. Clone includes comment from deployment it was created from and is properly represented in the draft. Code version can be updated in the draft applied to clone.
-
Fixed: Submitting variable value now possible when suggestions drop-down is shown.
-
Fixed: Live container statuses sometimes not shown after deployment.
-
New: Pod status is now communicated on the Workload tile in the Active Deployment mode.
-
Fixed: It is now possible to replace a deleted resource definition with a new one of the same type with overlapping matching criteria while the original one is still in pending deletion state.
-
New: Errors at the Environment level are now surfaced in UI.
-
New: Aiven added as an Account Type & documentation added for connecting Aiven managed databases.
-
Improved: Environments and Deployments pane in Workload Details screen expanded and Environment Tabs restructured.
-
Fixed: Clicking outside the Dynamic/Static Resource Definition dialog does not cause all data to be automatically lost.
-
Fixed: Form for specifying static DNS did not handle TLS certificates correctly.
-
Fixed: Many UI inconsistencies.
-
New: Workloads can now depend on multiple resources of the same type.
-
New: Added support for Aiven (Database-as-a-Service provider).
-
Changed: We changed the default deployment behaviour so that workloads no longer wait for a successful readiness probe before terminating the old pods. This means that the state of the namespace will match the requested deployment, but will mean that pods might be in a failed state. These will be reported in the UI. It will also mean deployments complete much faster. We are working on Blue/Green Deployments to provide a reliable way of ensuring environment wide consistency.
-
Improved: Both, our GitHub Action as well as our CircleCI Orb, now support the specification of additional docker arguments (e.g.,
build-args). -
Improved: Updated documentation of environment variables & secrets and container configuration.
-
Fixed: Failing application deletion in the case of deployment errors.
-
Fixed: Last environment in an application can no longer be deleted.
Here is our first product update 2021. We started with some important new features into the new year.
-
New: We created an Environment Settings Screen that bundles all environment-specific settings. We moved the Automation Rules and environment-specific Shared values and secrets overrides into this new screen. We now also allow users to specify a namespace in Kubernetes for each environment. This has been supprted by the API but not by the UI.
-
New: We are now allowing users to delete environments directly from the environment dropdown menu on the App Details Screen.
-
New: Out-of-the-box support for Amazon S3 buckets as Dynamic Resources.
-
Improved: Support multi-line values in Shared values and secrets.
-
Improved: Listing of dynamic resources.
-
Fixed: Adding overrides for shared variables cause console error Cannot read property 'id' of undefined.
-
Fixed: Missing UI elements after creating a new environment.
We enjoyed some time off between the years and we hope you did too. Stay tuned for the first product update 2021 which we will publish on January 22nd.
