🚀 Kubebuilder v4.7.0 Released – Automation, Usability & API Convention Upgrades

[Camila Macedo]

Hi everybody,

We’re excited to announce that Kubebuilder v4.7.0 has been released! 🎉

This release delivers significant improvements focused on automation, usability, developer experience, and alignment with Kubernetes API conventions.

🚀  Key Highlights

• New Experimental command: alpha update
  Introduces the experimental alpha update command (kubebuilder alpha update --help) that enables users to automate the entire upgrade process of their projects. It only requires manual intervention to resolve conflicts.
  For more details, see the [alpha update documentation][1].

• UX improvement for create webhook command
  The kubebuilder create webhook command now makes a best-effort attempt to uncomment all required sections in the automatically kustomize config files (e.g., patches and manifests).
  This reduces manual setup and improves the developer experience and maintainability.

• K8s API conventions and kube-api-linter future compliance
  API scaffolding has been updated to better conform to [Kubernetes API conventions][2]. Note: This work is part of a broader effort to support future adoption of [kube-api-linter][3] in Kubebuilder’s default scaffolding.

For full details, please visit the v4.7.0 release page: https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/releases/tag/v4.7.0.

Thanks to all our contributors for making this possible! 🙌
