Keptn v1 reached EOL December 22, 2023. For more information see https://bit.ly/keptn

Keptn 0.8.1

Keptn 0.8.1 improves the user experience of Keptn by allowing custom names for SLOs, showing a stage-wide overview of currently running sequences including quality gate evaluations, and offering an API/CLI support to create secrets (on top of Kubernetes Secrets). Besides, this release addresses encountered bugs and issues encountered.


Key announcements:

🎉 API/CLI support for creating secrets: This release introduces the new feature to create a secret on the Keptn control-plane, which is then stored as Kubernetes Secret. Therefore, the Keptn API and CLI provide the required functionality. Please see keptn create secret to learn how to use this feature.

Bridge improvements for SLO names and stage overview: The SLO spec allows adding a displayName for an SLO. This name is optional but will be used in the Bridge when available; please see the snippet below. Additionally, the Bridge provides enhancements for the environment screen where an overview of the currently running sequences is given and the evaluation of a quality gate is displayed:

...
objectives:
  - sli: "response_time_p95"
    displayName: "Response time P95"
    key_sli: false
    pass:             
      - criteria:
          - "<600"    
    warning:          
      - criteria:
          - "<=800"
    weight: 1

💫 (UI mockup for the Keptn Uniform) Bridge displays deployed Keptn-services (integrations) and their subscriptions: In this release, a UI mockup is provided that should provide a look-and-feel on how to display Keptn-services that are connected to the control-plane. To take a look at this mockup, open the Bridge and navigate to: your.keptn.endpoint/bridge/project/{project_name}/ff-uniform


Many thanks to the community for the enhancements on this release!
