DeploymentTemplate Controller
A new Kubernetes controller in Radius, called the DeploymentTemplate Controller, is now available. This controller enables users to deploy resources defined in Bicep manifests using Kubernetes tooling. The controller was added to enable integrations with GitOps
platforms like Flux, which will be included in a future release. Please see the
DeploymentTemplate
Controller design document for more details.

Preparations for using PostgreSQL as the Radius database
In the near future, the Radius data store will be migrated from etcd to a PostgreSQL database. In preparation for this, the Helm chart for installing Radius now includes deploying PostgreSQL to the Kubernetes cluster. There
are no changes to Radius when installed via
rad init . You can follow the progress of moving the Radius data store in
this issue.

rad CLI command for creating new resource types
We have added a CLI command
rad resource-type create to create new resource-types in Radius. This was added to enable resource extensibility in Radius. The end-end functionality of creating and deploying a user-defined
resource type will be available in a future release. Learn more from the UDT
technical design document
