We're excited to share our latest enhancements designed to boost your productivity and visibility across your Kubernetes workflows. From granular build analytics and bulk node management to streamlined namespace creation and customizable hibernation controls, these updates will help you work more efficiently while maintaining complete control. Let's explore what's new in Devtron this February!
⏱️ Enhanced Build Process Visibility
Devtron has introduced comprehensive build process analytics that provides granular timestamp tracking throughout your CI pipeline. This new timeline view captures critical events from trigger to completion, allowing you to:
- Distinguish between actual build execution time and overhead from pod provisioning
- Track key timestamps including trigger time, execution start, stage completions, and final build success
- Gain deeper insights for pipeline optimization and troubleshooting
🏷️ Streamlined Namespace Creation with Labels
Creating properly labeled namespaces is now more efficient than ever. You can now apply labels directly during namespace creation, eliminating the previous two-step process (create first, label later). This enhancement saves time while ensuring proper resource organization from the start.
🔄 Bulk Actions at Node Level
Support for bulk action has been introduced at the node level. Users can now execute bulk actions on multiple nodes simultaneously, such as cordon, uncordon, drain, and delete. This enhancement streamlines node management, allowing for more efficient handling of multiple nodes at once.
🐳 Docker Engine Upgrade (v20 → v27)
We've significantly upgraded the Docker engine used in our build environment from version 20 to version 27, providing access to the latest Docker features and improvements while ensuring better compatibility with modern containerization practices.
💤 Customizable Hibernation Patch
Now you can customize the Hibernation Patch for your Deployment Charts. This Hibernation Patch gets automatically applied on top of the Deployment Template when the application is hibernated, the hibernation patch can now be modified as per your requirements.
👁️ Improved Workflow Visibility Controls
Devtron has refined the developer experience with more focused workflow visibility, where developers can opt to get visibility for only those workflows to which they have access in specific environments. This reduces the developer's cognitive load by eliminating the visibility of inaccessible workflows.
