Release Notes 0.15.0 (2022-05-06)

Keptn 0.15.0 improves the upgrade capabilities of Keptn to achieve zero-downtime upgrades and enhances the trigger a sequence functionality in the Bridge.

Key announcements:

🎉 Improved upgrade capabilities: Keptn introduces the cp-connector library, which will replace the Distributor in all Keptn core services to ensure reliable event distribution. Besides, upgrade strategies of core components were adjusted.

⭐ Git repository provisioning: Since Keptn will require an upstream in future versions, a new Git Provisioning API is introduced. This provides an extension point to automatically provision Git repositories on demand when creating new projects. For further information, please refer to the documentation.

💨 Improved sequence trigger: Community feedback on triggering a sequence via Bridge has been incorporated.

🔒 Deny list for Webhooks: Keptn administrators can provide a deny list for Webhook URLs via a ConfigMap, please check out the documentation.

✨ SLI provider support: Finally, the Keptn CLI supports Datadog as a provider of Service Level Indicators (SLIs).
