Project Highlights

• Kopf - Kubernetes Operator Pythonic Framework now supports built-in resources and can be used to write controllers of any kind (pods, namespaces, mixed), not only of custom resources. Check out the latest release for more details https://github.com/zalando-incubator/kopf/releases

• Skipper publishes new releases weekly. Some of the important features were implemented such as support to proxy Kubernetes API server and support Kubernetes externalName services from ingress.

• Kubernetes Ingress Controller for AWS added dualstack and ssl-policy support in its last release. The controller helps to configure AWS application load balancers according to Kubernetes Ingress resources.
