In #werf v2.60.0+ and #Nelm v1.21.0+, we've added support for JSON Schema-based extended local validation for both built-in and custom #Kubernetes resources. The new mechanism works right out of the box with no additional configuration. github.com/werf/werf/di...

From in-house wrapper to @cncf.io project: A look at the open source beginnings of the opinionated, all-in-one CLI tool for building and deploying applications for Kubernetes.

Today, we’re celebrating 10 years(!) of #werf! If you ever wondered how it all started and evolved during these years, our latest blog post has you covered with a brief history of the project. Enjoy and celebrate with us! blog.werf.io/werf-project...

Nelm, the #Helm alternative created in #werf to enhance your experience with deploying Helm charts in #Kubernetes, has just reached its first 1000 #GitHub stars 🎉 github.com/werf/nelm Meanwhile, new exciting features are coming soon to Nelm — we'll keep you posted! 😉

We’d also like to present this overview (github.com/werf/nelm/di...) of the recent changes in #Nelm. Since Nelm underwent a major refactoring, added 60(!) new features, and resolved many annoying issues, we’d like to consider Nelm v1 stable and complete enough 🎉

We've seen a lot of new features and fixes in #werf v2.47.1-v2.56.2. They include 4 new commands, 7 new annotations, 48 new CLI flags, and more. This GitHub announcement summarizes recent changes: github.com/werf/werf/di...

A proposal for implementing an alternative to Go templates in #Nelm has been submitted! Interested in using a configuration language or a general programming language to write #Helm charts for your #Kubernetes clusters? Read this document and join the discussion: github.com/werf/nelm/bl...

Following the recent release of #Helm v4, we’d like to explain how it is different from Nelm we use in #werf. This article provides our detailed comparison and sheds light on the significant enhancements we plan for Nelm. Feel free to share with your #Kubernetes folks! blog.werf.io/nelm-helm-4-...

Nelm is a Helm 3 alternative built by the werf team, designed for Kubernetes deployments It replaces Helm’s 3-way merge with server-side apply, supports Terraform-plan-style dry runs, advanced resource ordering and encrypted values ➤ https://ku.bz/YTzSDVJdl

Configurable resource lifecycle and better `werf plan` in #werf v2.49! Our latest release features new annotations (inspired by #Helm hooks) to configure how the resources behave during deployment, new flags to control the output of werf plan, and even more improvements. github.com/werf/werf/di...

werf is a #CNCF Sandbox CLI tool to implement full-cycle #CICD to #Kubernetes easily

Werf is a CLI tool for full-cycle CI/CD to Kubernetes It supports complete application lifecycle management, including building, publishing, and deploying container images, and offers features like automatic build caching ➜ https://ku.bz/bcbMgkHcz

Happy to see this real-world experience of using #werf to improve #Kubernetes and CI/CD experience 🙌 dev.to/laplacedaemo...

#werf v2.47.0 was released, featuring major #Kubernetes API Server load reduction during deployments (thanks to optimized resource tracking and limited log displaying) and unified and extended capabilities for handling external and internal images in Stapel. github.com/werf/werf/di...

#Nelm, the improved #Helm by #werf, got many new features since its v1.0.0 release five months ago. This post summarises the most significant changes, including 2 new experimental commands, 7 new flags, 2 new annotations, new functions, and several other improvements: github.com/werf/nelm/di...

Tracking rules for #ArgoCD, #Flux, #Prometheus, cert-manager, and more have been added to kubedog / Nelm / werf! Learn how it benefits you and how you can contribute new custom rules for your favourite #CloudNative tools here: github.com/werf/werf/di...

The #GitHub releases page was updated to better follow the release channels approach implemented for #werf, and a few improvements were made for the release process itself. Find more details here: github.com/werf/werf/di...

Enhanced build reports are another addition introduced in #werf v2.42.0, which aims to improve image building in #Kubernetes. Using these details on build stages helps analyze the effectiveness of your build configuration and evaluate your cache cleanup strategy (based on the cache hit ratio) 🚀

It’s gratifying to see a huge improvement to #Nelm from a third-party #OpenSource contributor, Vladimir! His massive effort introduces the `werf.io/sensitive-paths` annotation, enhancing sensitive data handling with JSONPath expressions. Available in Nelm v1.8.0+. github.com/werf/nelm/pu...

With #werf v2.39.0, you can use any configuration files (including #Helm charts) from #Git repositories in a centralized and convenient manner. This is a game-changer if you have many similar apps and want to reuse common templates while keeping them in a separate repo. github.com/werf/werf/di...

Following the recent news, let's spread the word about #werf as a #Kaniko alternative for container image building (and much more) in #Kubernetes for your CI! 🙌 dev.to/evgeniy_frol...

Another new feature that landed in #werf v2.38.0 is the `--debug-templates` flag to enable an advanced #Golang template debugging mode for your werf.yaml and #Helm charts. It allows you to see more detailed errors and leverage new debugging functions. Find more info here: github.com/werf/werf/di...

Starting with #werf v2.38.0, you can specify a list of tags you want to keep when the `werf cleanup` command is performed. Use the newly added `--keep-list` option for that. You can also automate the keep-list file generation. Learn more: github.com/werf/werf/di...

Since #Kaniko is officially archived, #Buildah and #werf become more-than-ever viable tools for building your container images in #Kubernetes. Both are #CNCF Sandbox projects. Here's how you can use werf with GitLab CI/CD and GitLab Runner in Kubernetes: werf.io/getting_star...

We're delighted to see #Nelm mentioned in the latest Full Circle Magazine issue! fullcirclemagazine.org/magazines/is...
