Highlight Features

Templating using Handlebars

ConfigSeeder® already supports templating since version 2.0, but the solution was limited in that only variables could be used within templates. With release 2.20 ConfigSeeder supports templating based on handlebars and thus allows not only the use of variables but also of conditions and functions. So depending on values or filter criteria the configuration files can be structured differently. For more information take a look at chapter 4.3.3.2. Preview for File: Generated & ConfigMap: Template of the manual, where all available functions are documented.

GitOps Support 

Some companies rely heavily on GitOps. This has the advantage that all configurations are stored audit-proof and versioned but brings the disadvantage that credentials must be stored encrypted, only a restricted group of people can work with Git, and also the reusability of configuration values is made more difficult. The ConfigSeeder® GitConnector introduced with Release 2.19 brings together the advantages of both worlds and still allows central management of configuration values, but enables configuration values to be automatically synchronized into the correct Git repository. ConfigSeeder® GitConnector also supports Kubernetes ConfigMaps, Secrets, and Sealed Secrets.

Support for ImagePullSecrets

In Kubernetes, ImagePullSecrets are used to download Docker images from secured repositories. These can now also be created and managed with ConfigSeeder®.

Keystore Assemblies with multiple private keys

Previously, only one private key could be stored in a Keystore. This restriction has been lifted and now multiple private keys can be stored in a Keystore.
