Kubernetes Automatic Cluster Registration - Public Beta

We are introducing a significant enhancement to our customer experience for registering Kubernetes clusters in CloudHealth. The benefits of this feature are:

  • Reduce the number of steps required to register a new cluster using a Public Helm Chart 

  • Clusters will be automatically registered if a CloudHealth Collector Agent is running on the cluster

  • Cluster information is visible automatically in Container Configuration and Perspective Builders 

  • Ability to make CloudHealth Collector Agent deployment part of your CI/CD pipeline using Helm Chart

Select Setup > Containers > Clusters. From the Add Cluster dropdown, select Kubernetes (via Helm). For more information, please visit the Help Center documentation.

GCP Compute Instances - Start/Stop Actions

We are proud to introduce Google Cloud Platform Compute Engine resource actions that allow you to take Start/Stop actions for Compute Engine Instances. Especially powerful when combined with label filters, this feature can help users better manage and optimize their GCP environment with lights on/off policies. To configure Start/Stop policies, we require the permissions 'compute.instances.start' and 'compute.instances.stop'. To set up this start/stop action, go to:

  • Setup > Governance > Policies

  • Select New Policy > Standard Policy

  • Add the relevant details around Policy Name, Description

  • Select Resource Type to be Compute Instance

  • Add rules to monitor one or more conditions

  • Click Actions and select Start GCP Compute Instances or Stop GCP Compute Instances

  • Choose a Perspective Group to limit the scope of this action; Save Action
