kubevela/kubevela v0.3.0

Release v0.3.0

on GitHub

Congratulation! The KubeVela v0.3.0 was released!

In this release, the most highlight feature is the Application CRD along with it's controller!

Application CRD is the single source of truth of the application description. It allows developers to work with a single artifact to capture the application definition and serves as an anchor to avoid configuration drifts during operation. This is extremely useful in application delivery workflow as well as GitOps.

Also, Application CRD is a abstraction object that provides a much simpler path for on-boarding Kubernetes capabilities without relying on low level details. For instance, a developer will be able to model the "web service" workloads without defining detailed Deployment + Service combo each time, or claim the auto-scaling requirements without referring to the underlying KEDA ScaleObject.

Application CRD is also the implementation behind Appfile.
