If you are on Shipa Cloud today, you will have noticed a new module called Insights. We are pleased to announce the initial release of Shipa Insights and certainly have a lot in store as we continue to build out the module. As more items continue to shift left towards the developer and the rise of the full lifecycle developer continues to occur, outside of technical non-functional requirements such as connectivity, reporting and metrics are also important.

To provide world-class developer experiences and get applications to production quickly and securely, you need a team of experts devoted to running your platform as a product. For organizations that build and publish software at scale, developing the tech stack on which developers will create applications and push them to production is often the main focus.

With KubeCon underway, many of us in the cloud native community are looking forward to learning about the newest innovations from the companies we follow. At SUSE, we’ve been working hard to deliver some new enhancements to Rancher with our 2.6.5 version. I want to briefly take you through the highlights of this release and why we’re excited about these new additions.

Like your virtual machine running another virtual machine , today thanks to Loft Labs, you are now able to run multiple virtual Kubernetes clusters in a Kubernetes cluster. The vcluster project is focused on creating fully functional virtual Kubernetes clusters inside a base cluster allowing for a different approach to multitenancy than spinning up a separate Kubernetes cluster. A core use case of Shipa is the ability to have abstractions that make deploying to multiple clusters easy for developers.

A Kubernetes environment includes a wide range of resources—such as clusters, nodes, and pods—that work together to run dynamic applications at scale. In order to monitor a Kubernetes application effectively, you need a multi-dimensional view into your clusters’ health that encompasses the complex dependency relationships among these resources.

Today we’re excited to make three major announcements. First, we’re making it easier to adopt the very popular Codefresh GitOps CD with a fully SaaS offering that is hosted and managed by Codefresh. We’ve heard from many in the community that they’d like to get away from managing Argo CD and focus just on deploying and managing their applications. Hosted GitOps CD makes it easier than ever to adopt GitOps, just create an account, connect your target clusters, and deploy.
