  • Enhanced Flexibility: Accessing Kubernetes clusters becomes more flexible and convenient, allowing users to leverage their favorite tools and interfaces for managing cluster resources according to their preferences.
  • RBAC Integration: The downloaded Kubeconfig reflects Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) settings configured within CodeNOW, ensuring that users only have access to cluster resources and operations permitted by their roles and permissions. This seamless integration enhances security and compliance, providing peace of mind while managing Kubernetes clusters.

We are pleased to introduce the Bookmarks feature, designed to enhance user productivity and streamline navigation within the platform. With Bookmarks, users can now effortlessly add shortcuts to their favorite product pages or links directly to their deployed applications, conveniently accessible from the main menu.

Key Benefits:

  • Personalized Navigation: Users can tailor their experience by adding bookmarks to frequently visited pages or essential links, ensuring quick access to the information they need most.
  • Efficient Workflow: Streamline your workflow by eliminating the need to repeatedly search for specific pages or URLs. With Bookmarks, essential resources are just a click away.

External services usages

In CodeNOW version 7.6, we've enhanced the external services functionality by upgrading the dashboard to provide comprehensive information about the usage of external services and external service templates. This improvement gives users better visibility and control over their integrated services, ensuring more efficient and informed management.

Key Highlights:

  • Detailed Usage Insights: The upgraded dashboard now displays detailed information about the usage of external services. Users can easily monitor how external services are being utilized.
  • Enhanced Visibility: With this enhancement, users gain a clear and comprehensive view of all their external service integrations, making it simpler to track performance, troubleshoot issues, and make data-driven decisions to improve service management.
  • Improved Management: The new dashboard features empower users to manage their external services more effectively, with intuitive access to usage statistics and template information, ensuring better alignment with project requirements and organizational standards.


Custom domains redesign

We redesigned the Custom Domains feature in CodeNOW version 7.6. This update enhances the flexibility and ease of managing custom domain routing rules, providing users with more control and streamlined workflows for their applications and deployments.

Key Highlights:

  • Centralized Routing Rule Management: The setup of routing rules has been moved to the custom domain settings within the application dashboard. This centralization simplifies the management process, allowing users to configure and update routing rules directly from one location.
  • Extended Routing Capabilities: With this redesign, users can now route traffic from a single custom domain to multiple applications and their respective deployments. This extended capability supports complex deployment scenarios and ensures efficient traffic distribution across various services.
  • Dynamic Updates Without Redeployment: One of the major enhancements is the ability to update routing rules without the need to redeploy applications. This improvement significantly reduces downtime and allows for more agile adjustments to routing configurations as needed.
  • Enhanced Flexibility: The redesigned custom domain settings provide greater flexibility and control over how traffic is managed and directed. Users can tailor routing rules to meet specific requirements, optimizing the performance and reliability of their applications.


Permission settings enhancements

We've optimized the setup of permissions to provide users with more flexibility and efficiency in managing access controls. These enhancements streamline the process of configuring permissions for resources and identities, offering new options to suit diverse organizational needs.

Key Highlights:

  • Bulk Permission Configuration: Users can now set up permissions for multiple resources simultaneously. This enhancement significantly reduces the time and effort required to manage permissions, allowing for faster and more efficient configuration across various resources.
  • Multi-Identity Permission Setup: The new permission settings also enable users to configure permissions for multiple identities on a single resource at once. This feature simplifies the process of granting or modifying access for teams and groups, ensuring consistent and accurate permission management.
  • Future-Proof Permission Assignments: Users now have the option to set permissions for an identity across all instances of a resource, including any future instances that may be created. This ensures that new resources automatically inherit the specified permissions, maintaining consistent access controls without the need for manual updates.
  • Enhanced Flexibility and Control: These enhancements provide greater flexibility and control over permission settings, allowing users to tailor access configurations to meet specific organizational requirements and streamline permission management workflows.
