Helm Summit

Hear ye, hear ye! Announcing the new and improved Monocular! We added support for managing your app’s service dependencies right from the UI.

Have you ever copy/pasted your database credentials into a secret, then mounted the secret into your PodSpec in a chart? No more! Service catalog makes it easy to automatically create the service and mount the credentials into your app, right from your chart. After you install your chart, you can even see which apps are using which services. We call that the service dependency graph.

Before, you did all this in YAML. Now you can do it all in Monocular.

Here’s the breakdown. Directly in the new Monocular UI, you can:

- Update values for Helm charts before deploying them
- See all the services available to your charts
- Provision (create) and bind (get credentials) for managed services available in the service catalog
- … from any cloud provider, regardless of where you’re running
- See existing service instances and credentials used by applications
