Waypoint 0.4 Released

We released Waypoint 0.4!

Please see the announcement blog post .

FEATURES:

  • Mutable Deployments : Waypoint now supports the concept of “mutable” deployments where a deployment updates an existing resource rather than creating something new. New plugins in this release include deploying from a Nomad job file, Kubernetes apply from a directory or file, and more. [GH-1298]
  • Status Reports : Waypoint now supports a new feature for reporting on the health of deployments or releases. Waypoint surfaces a deployment and or releases status by relying on an existing platform for health checks. A status is responsible for reporting the health of a deployed service by representing its states as Ready, Alive, Partial, Down, or Unknown. Platform health reporting lets teams take action quickly depending on the health of their applications. Currently, the Kubernetes, Nomad, AWS ALB, and Docker built-in plugins support the new Status reporting, with more support on the way! [GH-1488]
