April Online Meetup - Hypper: Dependency-aware package management for Kubernetes

Introducing Hypper, a new package manager for Kubernetes designed with cluster administrators in mind. Hypper is built on Helm and charts but makes some different assumptions around multi-tenancy and dependent charts (which can be useful with CRD handling). Where Helm assumes a user could be one of many users running in multi-tenant, Hypper assumes the user is a cluster administrator managing a cluster.

Now on-demand, watch our talk from Collision Conference 2021 where we explored Continuous Packaging and how it can help secure your delivery pipelines, from development through to deployment.

We've added first-class Windows support to Grafana Agent

The Grafana Agent team is happy to announce that Grafana Agent 0.14.0-rc2 includes improved Windows support. Up until now, running Grafana Agent — our tool for gathering metrics, logs, and traces — in Windows was difficult and not well supported for Windows best practices.
