KubePlus's multi-instance multi-tenancy architecture has the following use cases:

• application hosting
• platform engineering
• managed service delivery

Here are the next features that will enhance KubePlus for all these use cases.

• Support for application-specific metrics tracking #1220
• Support for Cross Namespace Network traffic  #1274
• Checking cluster capacity and throttling when necessary #1275
• Effective permissions of a running application instance #1231
• Support for updating client permissions for self-service application deployments #1189
• Generate separate consumer kubeconfig per user/team #1276
• Ability to deploy applications in an already created Namespace #1279

Here are the issues that will improve KubePlus's robustness.

• Capture output of Helm install in the Custom Resource status #1278
• Follow Kubernetes naming convention for Service (CRD) name and service instance names #1218
• Support for forced delete #1258
• Recreating ResourceComposition instance  #1147
• Show property comments in kubectl explain of new CRD #1139

Here are the issues that will be improvements to KubePlus's current codebase.

• Bulk upgrade test case #1230
• Publish multiarch Images #1100

+1 for gitops support! any idea when you can implement it?

[devdattakulkarni]

@jkleinlercher Thanks for your interest. We have gitops support as one of the first things to complete from our list. The exact timeframe is being worked out. How soon do you need it?

[jkleinlercher]

@devdattakulkarni since gitops is the base for all deployments in our cluster it is more or less a showstopper for using kubeplus. However, we do not have a need right now to use kubeplus, but it sounds like a very cool project :)

@jkleinlercher Hi!
We are starting KubePlus community meetings from next week (Tuesdays at 10.30 a.m. US Central time). I was hoping that you will be able to join us for these meetings. The meetings will be on Slack huddle (#kubeplus channel on CNCF workspace). Community inputs and involvement is crucial as we build KubePlus further. So it will be great if you can join us on this journey.
