🚀 Direct Cluster Endpoints

Direct Cluster Endpoints are a new feature to avoid the central Loft instance and directly connect to a connected Loft cluster. By default, all Kubernetes contexts that are created through Loft will route all Kubernetes traffic (such as kubectl get pods etc.) through the central Loft instance to handle authentication and authorization there.

If you have multiple connected clusters in a Loft instance that are spread across the globe, the traffic redirection through the central Loft gateway can increase request delay. A solution to this are direct cluster endpoints, which are installed directly into the connected clusters and handle authentication and authorization themselves within the cluster without the need to redirect traffic to the central Loft instance first.

🚀 Shared Secrets Sync

You can now sync shared secrets to any connected cluster and Kubernetes secret. When a shared secret is synced, all keys and values will be copied to the target Kubernetes secret. You can enable this by giving a user or team the sync permission and then use a label on a Kubernetes secret:

apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
  name: my-synced-shared-secret
  namespace: space-owned-by-user-or-team
  labels:
    loft.sh/sharedsecret-name: my-shared-secret
type: Opaque
