Egress-Only Agent Connections

Connected Host Clusters now communicate to the Platform via egress connections only. Previously, the Platform would reach out to each connected cluster to communicate with the remote vClusters. This change enhances security, simplifies connecting private clusters to the Platform, avoids creating non-expiring Kubeconfigs, and makes it more scalable by moving functionality into the Platform's Agent.For more information, please take a look at the documentation.

Notable Changes

• vClusters that were created externally (e.g. Helm, Argo CD) are now automatically imported into the Platform

• We added the ability to clone vCluster templates

• vCluster and Platform configurations are now validated in the editor UI

• Backup and restore the Platform via the UI

• We now support installing Helm Apps with schema validation, which previously would fail.

• The Platform now uses vCluster v0.19.4 as the default version
