KKP 2.25 - Introducing the AI-Native Infrastructure Platform
We are thrilled to announce the latest update on Kubermatic Kubernetes Platform (KKP) 2.25! In this release, we’re introducing a vast range of exciting features and enhancements designed to streamline your Kubernetes operations and enhance your cloud-native journey.
Latest Features
AI Power for Infrastructure Operation
In KKP 2.25, K8sGPT has been integrated to KKP as a default application and also to the web terminal feature as a CLI tool. K8sGPT brings you the next level of cluster debugging, with the help of AI all debugging sessions will be brought closer to the human language and understanding.
ExploreAutomated Kubernetes Backups
KKP offers an easy-to-use, self-service system for backing up and restoring data. Leveraging Velero and the Kubernetes API, it ensures seamless backup, recovery, and migration across on-premises and cloud environments, while automating regular backups and old data deletion to enhance efficiency and data integrity.
