Overview
Version 2.5 is a ‘edge’ release focused on GPU Savings, Turbonomic integration beta, UI consistency with date pickers, as well as many bug fixes.
For federated (multi-cluster) installations, the Primary Kubecost cluster must be upgraded prior to upgrading agent (secondary) clusters. Agent upgrades are only required to support additional GPU metrics.
Major Features
- GPU Savings
- Turbonomic Integration
Minor Features
- UI Consistency with date pickers.
- Updated logos and branding to reflect IBM acquisition.
- Add GPU Max usage and GPU Sharing collection to agent, and output to allocation API.
Fixes
- Fix a nil panic on recommendations endpoint.
- Fix an issue with assets labels for the network asset type are showing node labels that are non-network related.
- Update dependencies from go-migrate-duckdb library to fix CVE.
- Fix UI empty state for tables across the user interface.
