Announcing Radius v0.43

We’re back with another release of Radius! We’ve been at work addressing all the great feedback and feature requests that have been coming our way and we're looking forward to the continued feedback and support! Please check out the highlights and instructions below

Want to stay up to date with periodic email announcements?  Please join our group!

How to Upgrade?
An upgrade to v0.43 will require a full redeployment of your environment and applications. To try out v0.43:
  1. Delete any existing Radius environments: rad env delete​
  2. Uninstall your existing Radius control plane: rad uninstall kubernetes​
  3. Download and install the latest tooling
  4. Deploy a new v0.43 environment: rad init​
  5. Try out the first-app experience and our how-to guides and begin rad-ifying your apps!

Highlights in Radius v0.43

The full list of changes can be found at radius-project/radius.

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
