W'xOps Portal v0.5.1 — Observability Completion

Xeus Nguyen
Platform Engineer

v0.5.0 gave the portal eyes on the cluster: live ArgoCD and Crossplane status, one-click Grafana links, active alerts. What it couldn't tell you was how a service was actually performing — those Grafana links pointed at cAdvisor CPU and memory, not application data, because nothing in the platform emitted a real metric. v0.5.1 closes that gap.

This is also the first release that isn't portal-only. It spans wxops-templates, wxops-core, wxops-gitops-infrastructure, and this repo, in a hard dependency order — the portal's Monitoring toggle only does something once the other three are deployed too.

W'xOps Portal v0.5.0 — Runtime Observability

Xeus Nguyen
Platform Engineer

The portal has always known what should be deployed — the overlay in Git, the image tag written back by Image Updater. It could not tell you what is running. v0.5.0 closes that loop: intended state from Git, observed state from the cluster, and one click into the signal that explains the difference.

Everything here is read with your own Kubernetes credentials. A user who cannot kubectl get application cannot see it in the portal either.

W'xOps Portal v0.4.0 — Darlane & wxops CLI

Xeus Nguyen
Platform Engineer

Darlane brings on-demand parallel debug pods to every deployed service — no scaffold changes, no kubectl juggling. Configure the pod through the portal's Promotion panel, then use the wxops CLI to browse the catalog, pull up the exact debug commands for any service, or stream local file changes directly into the running pod.

W'xOps Portal v0.2.0 — Golden-Path Scaffolding & Developer Experience

Xeus Nguyen
Platform Engineer

The first release where the portal can create and manage a full service lifecycle end-to-end: a developer fills in a wizard, the portal commits XTenantApp + XTenantDatabase + ExternalSecrets + Kustomize overlays + catalog entities to gitops-infra, ArgoCD and Crossplane provision everything, and the entity detail page shows live CI status, releases, packages, and activity.
