☸️Kubernetes support improved by a ton.
↪ Proxy for container environments.
🌓Dark mode is now supported.
💻Kubectl integration.
💾GitOps integration.
🌸UI improvements.
🔐HTTPS support.
The new UI has been redesigned to reduce clutter and be more intuitive, It's now much easier to navigate inside Portainer.
Kubernetes users should feel it very comfortable.
✅Lightweight GitOps integration
Introduced a lightweight GitOps engine: it enables users to employ 'entry level' CD automation' (no expertise needed).
This allows a user to configure the app's updates:
- automatic
- poll-based
- push-based (webhooks)
✅Forced Redeployment
It allows enabling an enforcement setting when deploying an application from Git
This makes sure any external change to the application is always overridden by the definition stored in Git.
✅Change Window Settings
Now you can specify a change window on specific environments to prevent automatic updates from happening outside of the changes window.
✅Kubectl Shell
Kubectl natively integrated into Portainer
This helps users troubleshoot Kubernetes apps without having to leave the Portainer UI
It also allows expert users to use advanced Kubernetes features and functions not yet supported inside Portainer.
✅Proxy for container environments
Portainer can now be used as a secured authenticated proxy into 3rd-party container environments.
This allows Platform/DevOps engineers to integrate Portainer with 3rd-party CI/CD tools to build secure automated delivery workflows.
✅Helm Charts support
Now you can deploy software provided by your ISV or any tool vendor inside a K8S environment.
By supporting Helm you can easily register application repositories inside Portainer.
Then you can deploy any application listed under these repositories.
✅Custom Templates
Useful to share/re-use app manifests across Kubernetes environments.
This will enable advanced Kubernetes users to create application packages they will be able to share with everyone.
✅Kubernetes private registry support
You can now deploy applications that are hosted on any private registry supported by Portainer.
This also introduces a revamp of the registry access management experience to make it more consistent across Docker and Kubernetes.
🔐HTTPS support
HTTPS support goes hand in hand with our container environment proxy to make sure that communications between any 3rd party or external tools and Portainer are secured.
❌Advanced Mode removal
UI realigned the UI around Form vs Manifest deployment.
This is to make more sense of the deployment workflow.
🌓Dark Mode
One of the Portainer community's most requested features!
You can now set your theme on any user in the account settings.
In this release, Portainer will ship with:
- experimental support for a dark theme
- high-contrast theme.
It's the standard way to interact with contracts in the Ethereum ecosystem:
- from outside the blockchain
- for contract-to-contract interaction
Data is encoded according to its type.
The encoding requires a schema to decode
Assumptions
Assumptions for contracts:
- interface functions are strongly typed, known at compilation time, static
- they'll have interface definitions of contracts they call available at compile-time
This is not for contracts with:
- dynamic interface
- only known at run-time
