Christmas is the time for good food, time with family, and — if you’re a platform engineer — finally having a moment to breathe while everything just works.

This year, we’re wrapping up something special under the kubriX tree: kubriX 6.0.0, a release focused on high availability, resilience, and platform maturity.

No shiny toy features for one demo.
This is the kind of present you still appreciate in February — when clusters upgrade, nodes disappear, and your platform keeps running.

🎁 What’s in the Box?​

🚀 High Availability — Built In, Not Bolted On

kubriX 6.0.0 makes high availability a first-class citizen across the platform.

  • PodDisruptionBudgets to survive node drains and upgrades

  • topologySpreadConstraints to distribute workloads across failure domains

  • Dedicated HA values and topology-aware defaults

🔐 GitOps That Behaves While You’re on Holiday​

Argo CD got some serious love in this release:

  • Refactored dashboards for better operational clarity

  • Safer rolling updates in HA mode

  • Clearer permission models for platform teams and application teams

  • Admin-only terminal access for controlled troubleshooting

This means GitOps workflows that stay predictable and boring — which is exactly what you want when you’re not at your desk.

🧠 Cleaner Configuration, Less Mental Overhead​

One of the biggest internal gifts in 6.0.0 is the new multi-layer values structure:

  • Clear separation of defaults, environment values, and overrides

  • kubrix-default values to stay DRY and reduce unintended diffs

  • Bootstrap and installer aligned to the same structure

This makes kubriX much easier to operate across multiple cloud providers, clusters, stages, and teams — even after a long year.

🎅 Why kubriX 6.0.0 Matters​

kubriX 6.0.0 is not about flashy features — it’s about sleeping better:

  • High availability by default

  • Predictable behavior during upgrades

  • Cleaner configuration at scale

  • Safer GitOps workflows

  • A platform that doesn’t need babysitting

With kubriX 6.0.0, setting up and running an internal developer platform is simpler, more secure, and more scalable than ever.
