On behalf of the Eclipse JKube team and everyone who has contributed, I'm happy to announce that Eclipse JKube 1.17.0 has been released and is now available from Maven Central 🎉.

Thanks to all of you who have contributed with issue reports, pull requests, feedback, and spreading the word with blogs, videos, comments, and so on. We really appreciate your help, keep it up!

What's new?

Without further ado, let's have a look at the most significant updates:

• Multi-platform container image builds in Jib strategy
• New Helm Maven goals and Gradle tasks
  • k8s:helm-dependency-update / k8sHelmDependencyUpdate
  • k8s:helm-install / k8sHelmInstall

Multi-platform container image builds in Jib strategy

You can now build multi-platform container images using the Jib strategy. To enable multi-platform builds you can set the jkube.container-image.platforms property in your Maven or Gradle configuration.

Check the following video with a demo of this functionality:

New Helm Maven goals and Gradle tasks

This release includes new Helm features much awaited by the community. We've added new Helm capabilities to both the Maven and Gradle plugins.

• k8s:helm-dependency-update / k8sHelmDependencyUpdate: Allows you to update the dependencies of your Eclipse JKube generated Helm charts.
• k8s:helm-install / k8sHelmInstall: Allows you to install your Eclipse JKube generated Helm charts.
• k8s:helm-uninstall / k8sHelmUninstall: Allows you to remove a Helm release from your Kubernetes cluster.

Using this release

If your project is based on Maven, you just need to add the Kubernetes Maven plugin or the OpenShift Maven plugin to your plugin dependencies:

<plugin>
  <groupId>org.eclipse.jkube</groupId>
  <artifactId>kubernetes-maven-plugin</artifactId>
  <version>1.17.0</version>
</plugin>

If your project is based on Gradle, you just need to add the Kubernetes Gradle plugin or the OpenShift Gradle plugin to your plugin dependencies:

plugins {
  id 'org.eclipse.jkube.kubernetes' version '1.17.0'
}
