Meshery v1.0 Launches at KubeCon EU With Governance-First Cloud Native Management

The maintainers of the Meshery project announced the general availability of Meshery v1.0, an extensible cloud native management platform that introduces a governance-first architecture for infrastructure operations.

Meshery v1.0 brings a new operational paradigm the project calls Infrastructure as Design, which manages infrastructure as a shared, visual, living artifact. The platform enables teams to view the blast radius of changes, review AI-suggested configurations and collaborate in real time before changes reach production.

The release includes the general availability of Kanvas Designer, a declarative drag-and-drop visual design interface that lets teams design, version and diff infrastructure as visual artifacts. Kanvas Operator, a real-time operations surface with live resource views and cluster management for multi-cluster and multi-cloud deployments, is available in beta.

Meshery v1.0 supports more than 300 CNCF projects and integrations. The project also announced a restructuring of its GitHub footprint into two organizations and the launch of the Certified Meshery Contributor program, the first contributor certification in the CNCF.

“Kubernetes gave us the runtime. GitOps gave us the pipeline. Meshery gives teams the governance layer, where you actually see, understand and control what’s running before and after AI touches it,” said Lee Calcote, Meshery creator and maintainer.

Meshery is the sixth highest-velocity CNCF project among 237 and has more than 3,000 contributors and 10,000 GitHub stars.
