Announcing v0.11.0: Manage database schemas with Kubernetes and Atlas
You can now use the Atlas Kubernetes Operator to safely manage your database schemas with Atlas from within your Kubernetes cluster.
Introduction
Today, we are excited to announce the release of Atlas v0.11.0, which introduces the Atlas Kubernetes Operator. This release is a major milestone in our mission to make Atlas the most robust and modern way to manage your database schemas. With the Atlas Kubernetes Operator, you can now manage your database schemas with Atlas from within your Kubernetes cluster.
In this release, we also introduce a new concept to Atlas - "Diff Policies" - which allow you to customize the way Atlas plans database migrations for you. This concept is directly related to the Kubernetes Operator, and we will explain how below.
What are Kubernetes Operators?
Kubernetes has taken the cloud infrastructure world by storm mostly thanks to its declarative API. When working with Kubernetes, developers provide their cluster's desired configuration to the Kubernetes API, and Kubernetes is responsible for reconciling the actual state of the cluster with the desired state. This allows developers to focus on the desired state of their cluster, and let Kubernetes handle the complexities of how to get there.
