What's new in OpenEverest 1.15.0

New to OpenEverest? Get started with our Quickstart Guide.

Release highlights​

ARM64 Architecture Support​

All OpenEverest images are now published as multi-arch manifests to ghcr.io, covering both AMD64 and ARM64. No configuration changes are needed — if you run an ARM-based Kubernetes cluster, the right image is pulled automatically. This opens up deployment on AWS Graviton instances, Apple Silicon Macs for development, or — why not — a Raspberry Pi cluster at home.

everestctl status Command​

A new everestctl status command has been added for health checking Everest components. This provides a quick way to verify that all required operators and services are running correctly in your cluster.

Backup Size Visibility in UI​

The web UI now displays backup sizes for MongoDB clusters directly in the backup list view, making it easier to monitor storage usage and identify large backups at a glance.

Percona Operator for PostgreSQL 2.9.0​

OpenEverest now supports Percona Operator for PostgreSQL 2.9.0. Update your cluster to take advantage of the latest fixes and improvements in this operator release.

Enhanced Security Posture​

Container base images are now pinned by digest for reproducible builds, and OpenSSF Scorecard integration provides transparency into the project's security practices.

Enhanced Helm Chart Flexibility​

The Helm charts now support advanced Kubernetes scheduling with nodeSelector, tolerations, affinity, and topologySpreadConstraints for both server and operator components. You can also specify a custom LoadBalancerClass for the Everest server service.
