In our June 2023 release, we added support for a new turnkey role in the Rafay Kubernetes Operations Platform specifically targeted at users in a FinOps function.
This new role allows the FinOps team to access and view cost and usage data in the Rafay Kubernetes Operations Platform. Users with this role do not have the ability to impact infrastructure or applications.
Our recent release update in June adds support for a number of new features and enhancements. This blog is focused on support for Kubernetes v1.27 with Rafay MKS (i.e. upstream Kubernetes for bare metal and VM based environments).
Both new cluster provisioning and in-place upgrades of existing clusters are supported. As with most Kubernetes releases, this version also deprecates and removes a number of features. To ensure there is zero impact to our customers, we have made sure that every feature in the Rafay Kubernetes Operations Platform has been validated on this Kubernetes version.
In our June 2023 monthly release, we added support for lifecycle management of Rafay managed upstream Kubernetes clusters on nodes based on Rocky Linux.
Rafay has supported CentOS as an operating system for upstream Kubernetes clusters. With the EOL of CentOS, several customers asked us to support Rocky Linux as an alternative.
