New Features and Capabilities in Kommander 1.1.0

Kommander 1.1.0 was released on 16, July 2020.

Centralized Cost Monitoring

Kubecost, running on Kommander, provides centralized cost monitoring for all managed clusters. This feature, installed by default in every Kommander cluster, provides a centralized view of Kubernetes resources used on all managed clusters. For more information go to Centralized Cost Monitoring

Automatic Federation of AuthN/Z and Monitoring Stack

When attaching non-Konvoy clusters, such as Amazon EKS, Azure AKS, Google GKE, and On-Premises Kubernetes clusters, Kommander will federate a subset of standard Konvoy Addons and charts to enable SSO, AuthN/Z, observability, and cost monitoring.

Improved RBAC

Kommander has enhanced Access Controls for users at the global, workspace, and project levels allowing greater flexibility and security when assigning roles. See Granting Access to Kubernetes Resources in Kommander
