Release v0.46 brings updates like Inheriting Resources from a different Environment, new CLI commands, AKS Upgrades, Additional Single Sign-On services, and many more enhancements and bug fixes.

✨ What's New

• Inherit Resources from a different Environment
  This feature introduces a new paradigm in environment management by allowing a Dependent Environment to inherit attributes from a designated Base Environment.

  • A Dependent Environment is created to inherit infrastructure, tools, and any deployed resource from a designated Base environment.
  • To create a Dependent Environment, select Use Existing Infrastructure during environment creation and specify the Base Environment and Namespace to inherit the settings.

  

• Introducing new CLI commands
  Two new CLI commands have been introduced to allow users to register already pushed images from external repositories into Facets using Environment Name or Release Stream. To know more about this, refer to the Facets CLI documentation.
