Work Progress Update

Kusion CLI

• Add cmd "kusion config" to manage kusion configurations, supporting query, set, and unset of configuration items based on key-value pairs, with the value supporting various types.
• Upgrade backend management capability, providing a unified backend as the storage for Workspace Configuration, Spec, and State. The backend configuration is managed by "kusion config".
• Improving the stability and user experience of the Kusion CLI by optimizing the initialization of sample projects for quicker starts, implementing interactive editing for workspace configuration, and enhancing the display interface.

Kusion Module

• We've finished the development of the Kusion Module invocation chain and are now focusing on constructing the development scaffold for developing a kusion module and relevant developer's guide.

Kusion Control Plane

• Aside from its CLI, Kusion is building a self-hosted version that runs as a service, and provides standardized APIs to enable a richer feature set and easier integration with external systems. The design documentation will be submitted as a PR soon to solicit feedback from the community.
• We are also starting the preliminary work to refactor the common logic into an "Engine Layer" that will be consumed by both the CLI and the APIs directly.

Kusion and AI

• Kusion is also actively exploring integrations with AI to find more value-adds in the Platform Engineering journey.

Discussions

• How to integrate with existing Helm and Kustomize configurations to reduce migration costs?
  This requirement is already on our roadmap. We plan to support existing configurations in the next iteration (v0.12.0).
• Is Kusion going to support operating VM?
  We've received this question many times recently. In fact, we have a built-in module named workload that focuses on operating K8s workloads. As a small open-source project team, we don't have extra capacity to support VMs. If you're interested in extending the existing workload module to support VMs, we warmly welcome you to join our community to build this together.

If you have any ideas or requirements, feel free to contact us directly or submit an issue.
