Cloudy ?? with a side of Ranch

Kubewarden

We’re extremely proud to announce the very first release of Kubewarden for the year, 2024 - version 1.10.0. Packed with a lot of WebAsssembly goodness, this release has several performance improvements and feature introductions. We’re so excited that we even wrote a blog about it. Go check it out here and let us know your feedback by joining our community meetings or by reaching out on our Slack channel.??

Rancher

We’ve addressed the air gap issues that you’ve been facing in Rancher v2.8.0 with the latest mirror release, v2.8.1. Starting this release, we are also introducing support for Kubernetes v1.27 and removing support for older versions, such as Kubernetes v1.23 and v1.24. This means that you need to run versions 1.25 or above of Kubernetes on your clusters before you upgrade to the 2.8 release line for Rancher. To learn more about the highlights of this release, check out our release notes.
