After a long period of meticulous refinement and active user feedback, we are excited to announce the major milestone of Zadig version 2.1.0! This release focuses on enhancing the overall capabilities of workflow and environment management to meet growing user expectations and diverse usage scenarios. Through cross-environment configuration comparison and synchronization, we achieve consistent delivery, making business and configuration changes more automated and efficient. The new self-test mode and Istio full-link gray release mechanism improve the intelligence and security of the release process. The convenient operation of sharing namespaces across multiple environments provides enterprises with more flexible business management. The introduction of multi-platform, cross-vendor, and multi-protocol support makes Zadig more competitive in global delivery. Custom workflows can now execute batch scripts on the Windows platform, meeting the needs of more heterogeneous scenarios.
# Cross-Environment Configuration Comparison and Synchronization to Achieve Consistent Delivery
Custom workflows for Apollo and Nacos configuration changes now support cross-environment comparison and synchronization. This automates business and configuration changes, ensuring consistent delivery of configurations across development, testing, and production environments, providing a stable, secure, and reliable production release process.
# Self-Test Mode Upgrade: Hassle-Free Development and Testing
The self-test mode has been enhanced to support the debugging of entry services, making service self-testing more intelligent and hassle-free, providing developers with a smoother debugging experience.
# Istio Full-Link Gray Release: Safeguarding Production Releases
Support for Istio full-link gray release provides a safer, more reliable, and more efficient way to upgrade production environments, enhancing the robustness of system releases.
# Multi-Environment Shared K8s Namespace: Clear and Concise Business Division
Zadig v2.1.0 further improves support for multiple environments by enabling convenient operations for sharing namespaces (NS) across multiple environments. Administrators can more flexibly divide their business, meeting the more refined needs of enterprises for business management.
# Multi-Platform, Cross-Vendor, and Multi-Protocol Support: Enhancing Global Delivery
Google Cloud, an important cloud provider in the international market, has undergone rigorous compatibility testing to meet customers' needs for international global deployment under a multi-cloud architecture.
Custom workflows and general tasks now support executing batch scripts on Windows, catering to more heterogeneous scenarios.
