KubeDigest - 01/2025
?? Welcome to the January Edition of KubeDigest!
Glasskube’s monthly digest brings you key product updates, industry insights, and noteworthy third-party tools that should be on your radar.
Monthly Glasskube Update
January was a big month for us, we launched Distr, an Open Source tool designed to help software vendors distribute and manage their applications (or agents) in customer-controlled or shared-responsibility environments. With Distr, all you need is a Docker Compose file or Helm chart, our platform handles the rest.
Over the past few months, we’ve spoken with dozens of software companies about their on-prem deployment challenges. We analyzed internal tooling, best practices from existing solutions, and combined them into an Open Source, out-of-the-box platform that integrates effortlessly.
The response has been fantastic! We received tons of valuable feedback and, most importantly, validated the need for a better software distribution platform.
Head on over to the documentation and get started now!
Monthly Blog Post Highlight
Ahead of our launch, we also put together a comparison of software delivery platforms to help teams navigate their options.
The post breaks down the differences between push-based vs. pull-based platforms, explores release channels, CI/CD integration, and configuration management, and explains where Distr fits into the landscape.
