1.7.1

  • In v1.7.0, for Run Custom Command, there was an issue with the order that commands were handled. In 1.7.1, this isssue has been fixed.

    NOTE: If you are currently using v1.7.0, it is suggested to update to v1.7.1 to avoid issues with handling certain `kubectl` commands for *Run Custom Command*.

1.7.0

  • To customize Kubernetes objects, support for Kustomize files has been added. Specifying a kustomization file is now possible when configuring application microservice deployments, and as a Specification source option for the Create Or Update Objects, Delete Objects, and Describe Objects procedures. To include a kustomization file in the Run Custom Command, use the Additional options for kubectl field with -k=<\path\to\directory>.

    TIP: To use a Kustomize file in application microservice deployments, select menu:Definition type[YAML] and *Enable Kustomization*. Follow the instructions in the parameter tool tips to supply the path for the file.
  • For application microservice deployments, fixed issue that occurred when the Definition source was a Git repository and a file path was specified in Relative path.

  • For application microservice deployments, fixed issue that occurred when the Definition source was YAML Content and a directory path was specified in the Path to YAML file/folder field.

  • Improved usability of Run Custom Command procedure.

  • IMPORTANT: For Run Custom Command, if you are using kubectl delete, it must be placed in the additionalOptionsForKubectlCommand field. If it is placed in a different field, you will receive a Error: flags cannot be placed before plugin name: message when the procedure runs.

1.6.0

  • Upgraded dependencies.
