Akuity July 2023 Update

We're thrilled to announce the latest updates to the Akuity Platform, packed with exciting new features, like an AI assistant, and enhancements, like the improved declarative management of instances. Let's dive right in!

Akuity AI Assistant Extension

Say hello to your new AI GitOps companion! Our AI Assistant is here to help engineers explore and troubleshoot Argo CD Applications effortlessly. By analyzing logs, reviewing Kubernetes manifests, and answering questions right from the UI, the AI Assistant takes application management to a whole new level. Check out the blog post dedicated to AI Assistant for Argo CD for a detailed description.

Tanka and Helmfile First Class Support

Custom tooling integrations for Argo CD just got easier! We're delighted to introduce pre-defined config management plugins for Tanka and Helmfile. With a single click, you can now enable Tanka and Helmfile support in the Akuity Platform, giving you more flexibility and control over your deployments.

Enhanced Argo CD Version with Server Side Pagination

We believe in pushing the boundaries of what's possible, and that's why we're excited to present the enhanced Akuity version of Argo CD, starting with v2.7.3. The star feature of this release is the server-side pagination for the Argo CD Applications page. With this addition, you can manage over 50,000 Argo CD applications without breaking a sweat. The scalability of the Argo CD API and UI has never been better!

Improved Declarative Configuration Management of Argo CD Instances

With the latest Akuity CLI update, managing all Argo CD instance settings declaratively has become a breeze. From accounts and repository credentials to secrets and clusters, the Akuity CLI empowers you to effortlessly manage your Argo CD instances.

Agent Behind HTTPS Outbound Proxy

And finally, a significant stride towards better accessibility in high-security environments - our Agent now operates seamlessly behind an HTTPS proxy. When enabled in Cluster settings, Redis Tunnelling ensures secure Redis access from the agent, offering you peace of mind without compromising performance.

We hope these updates boost your experience with the Akuity Platform and enable you to better integrate Argo into your environments. We are committed to providing the best tools and support to streamline your use of GitOps and Kubernetes.

Stay tuned for more exciting updates coming your way soon. Happy syncing!
