The Cozystack v1.7.0 platform introduces support for Proxmox VE, allowing Kubernetes worker nodes to run directly on Proxmox rather than exclusively via KubeVirt. This release also adds a migration tool for VMware vSphere environments based on Forklift, enabling users to import virtual machines using VMImportSource and VMImportTask resources.
The platform now supports external application repositories, which can be managed via the cozypkg command-line tool with signature verification through cosign. The dashboard has been reorganized, featuring a new administrative portal for tenant management and a customizable console interface.
Backup capabilities have been expanded beyond PostgreSQL to include MongoDB, Redis, Valkey, RabbitMQ, and Kafka, with support for point-in-time recovery for PostgreSQL. Security enhancements include mandatory TLS for most managed databases, such as Redis and MariaDB, and the integration of IPsec for network encryption.
New features include distributed request tracing via VictoriaTraces and expanded service support, including Valkey, Kafka in KRaft mode, and auto-scaling for PostgreSQL read replicas using KEDA. Additionally, platform images now support arm64 architecture alongside amd64.
The update introduces breaking changes, including the migration of worker groups to the KubernetesNodes resource, which triggers a one-time recreation of virtual machines. Users are advised to review the migration documentation and plan maintenance windows, as API servers will restart during the update process.
