This release focuses on three major areas: infrastructure modernization, AI/ML building blocks (Kserve), and critical bug fixes. The infrastructure updates primarily address Bitnami's breaking changes by migrating to official images and Helm charts.

This release focuses on usability enhancements for the Team Network Policy page, adds the new Kubeflow Pipelines app, and updates Prometheus rules for CloudNativePG. The CloudNativePG backup process has been migrated to a plugin for better resource control, with an option to use the plugin selectively. Additionally, dependencies like Sealed Secrets and Metrics Server have been upgraded for improved security and compatibility.

App Platform for LKE has reached GA and is now available to all customers. App Platform can be deployed on non-enterprise LKE clusters (LKE Enterprise support is coming soon) and functions as a pre-built Kubernetes developer platform. It is intended to accelerate your platform development so you can focus on building your application. For more details on the launch, read our blog post.
