Google GKE

Labels

Benefit

Simplifies resource organization and improves policy enforcement.

With this update, support has been extended to apply GCP resource labels. These labels can be leveraged for:
- Querying and organizing resources
- Enabling security teams to apply and enforce policies
- Grouping resources for billing and cost allocation

Important

Cluster Resource Labels: - Day 0 and Day 2 support for new clusters across all interfaces - Not supported on existing clusters

Node Pool Resource Labels: - Day 0 support for new clusters across all interfaces - Day 2 support for new clusters will be available in the next patch - Not supported on existing clusters

Automation

RCTL Support for ARM

Benefit

Run RCTL natively on ARM-based environments

An ARM-based RCTL binary, compatible with both Linux and macOS, is now supported in addition to x86 architecture. This enhancement helps with:

  • Improved performance on Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3 Macs)
  • Native support on ARM-based cloud environments (e.g., AWS Graviton, Ampere)
  • Consistency across heterogeneous developer and CI/CD environments

RCTL

Environment Manager

Support for Agent Pools

Benefit

Easier and more flexible management of agents for Day-2 operations.

With this enhancement, it is now possible to group agents into pools. This provides two main advantages:

  • Add/remove agents without needing to update associations (e.g., environment templates). This is extremely useful for scenarios like Day-2 operations, retiring agents, or scaling up/down.
  • Load balancing across agents within the pool for improved reliability and efficiency.

Note: Agent Pool support is currently available only with Environment Manager resources (e.g., environment template, resource template, environment). Repository support will be added in a future release.

Note

If you are using GitOps System Sync, you will need to update to the latest agent version included in this release (v3.6.2) in order to use the Agent Pool feature.

Environments (Save & Continue Later option)

Benefit

Improves usability by allowing users to save progress without losing work.

In cases where users do not have all required inputs to provision an environment, they can now save their work and return later. A new “Save & Continue Later” option has been introduced in the UI, making it easier to configure inputs incrementally and deploy when ready.

Environments

Listing Environments

Benefit

Enhances navigation and discoverability for end users.

On the Environments listing page, users can now filter not only by Status, but also by:
- Labels
- Environment Template
- Version

This makes it easier to quickly locate the specific environment of interest.
