Roadmap 2027.06

Date: 2027-04-01 to 2027-06-30

Core Platform​

The items below change how KubeVela runs Applications across many clusters (multi-cluster). They are also the foundation for the cluster management work planned for Winter 2027 in the Cluster Infrastructure KEP.

  • Each cluster runs its own components

    • Add a controller on every target cluster that deploys, updates and health-checks its components locally, instead of the management cluster doing this work remotely.
    • Components can also be deployed directly on a cluster, without wrapping them in an Application.
    • Workflows are always available on every cluster, so steps such as database migrations no longer depend on an optional addon.
    • Design: KEP-2.2: Spoke Component-Controller & Workflow Engine

  • A lighter management cluster

    • The management cluster only decides which components go to which clusters and watches whether they are healthy.
    • It needs far fewer permissions on target clusters, which makes it safer to run and able to manage more clusters.
    • Design: KEP-2.3: Hub Application-Controller Integration

  • Choose how components reach clusters

    • Deliver components to a cluster directly, through a gateway, or with pull-based tools such as Open Cluster Management.
    • Every delivery method gets the same features and the same health status, and platform teams can customize how delivery works.
    • Design: KEP-2.4: Dispatcher Implementations
