Palette 3.2 Release Highlights
If you’re a TL;DR kinda person let us make your life easier. Here’s a summary of our favorite highlights from Palette’s 3.2 release.
Oh, and you can check the full release notes here, if you're hungry for more details.
1. Hey there, Cox Communications !
We now support Cox Edge directly in the Palette UI for deploying your Kubernetes clusters and workloads closer to your users.
We’re loving partnering with Cox Edge !
2. (Near) Zero Touch Edge
Doing edge computing at scale becomes a skills and supply chain problem — how do you get new or replacement devices to site and onboarded into Kubernetes clusters, without K8s experts on site?
In Palette 3.2 we’ve added auto-registration of edge devices during staging, to make near zero touch onboarding a reality. Look out for a blog soon from Anton Smith !
3. Edge Security
Securing the data on edge devices is critical when they’re vulnerable to theft or tampering.
We support encryption of persistent data on edge devices, giving you options to store keys in the TPM chip for true offline use, or authenticate to a local key management server when access to the wider internet isn’t guaranteed.

4. SBOM scans
Unless you've been living under a rock, you know how important SBOM is for software supply chain security.
We now offer SBOM scans directly from our UI alongside other scanning capabilities, with support for several of the most common formats.

5. Boosted Virtual Clusters
Your developers' time is way too precious to be spent waiting 30 minutes for a cluster to start up.
We launched Virtual Clusters a few months ago, promising access to cluster in just a few minutes.
We’ve now cut that by ~40%! Better dev productivity, lower costs. Win win.

(You can also now resize and backup virtual clusters as of 3.2)
6. Palette Dev Engine's App Mode
Palette Dev Engine's App Mode is our environment for devs, giving easy access to assemble their apps for K8s using common services into an ‘App Profile’.
It just got an upgrade.
We’ve added support for two popular products, Cockroach Labs DB and HashiCorp Vault, alongside MongoDB, Redis and others.

There’s plenty more in 3.2 that we haven’t covered here, and we release new features every few months. Why not come check out Palette for yourself?
