Highlights for the week ending May 13, 2022

User interfaces

Our web UI, as of v1.42.0, provides a great new feature to all customers with single sign-on (SSO). As a user you can now inspect which permissions you have in the Management API, with regard to certain use cases and individually for each organization.

The kubectl-gs commands for creating cluster and node pool resources (kubect gs template cluster and kubect gs template nodepool) now produce v1beta1 resources (previously v1alpha2 on AWS and v1alpha3 on Azure).

Documentation

In case you wonder how to access the Management API from your pipeline, this is for you: we now have a dedicated page on how to authenticate with the Management API for programmatic access. The article provides step by step instructions and a shell script explaining how to create a kubectl config file that includes service account credentials.
