We’re excited to announce the General Availability (GA) of the Replicated SDK. The Replicated SDK is a Helm chart that is installed as a small service alongside your application, providing access to a ton of valuable Replicated Platform functionality.
Unlocking the Benefits of the Replicated SDK
By including the SDK, you enable a wide range of features designed to enhance your application’s functionality and streamline your end-customer experience.
Here’s what the Replicated SDK makes possible:
- Automatic Operational Telemetry: Gain insights into instances running in customer environments, even in air-gapped deployments. This helps you proactively identify and resolve issues, ensuring a smoother experience for your customers. See the docs.
- Embedded Replicated Features: Use the SDK’s in-cluster API to bring key Replicated features directly into your application, such as:some text
- Naming or tagging instances programmatically. See the docs.
- Collecting custom metrics from online or air-gapped instances. See the docs.
- Delivering and checking customer license entitlements in real-time, including license expirations. See the docs.
- Alerting customers when new application versions are available for upgrade. See the docs.
Easy Integration for Every Application
The Replicated SDK is designed to be simple to integrate, regardless of how your application is packaged:
- For Helm-based Applications: Add the SDK as a subchart with as little as three lines of YAML.
- For Kubernetes Manifests: Include the SDK Helm chart packaged along with your application, and KOTS will deploy it seamlessly alongside your app.
Whether your application is delivered online or in air-gapped environments, the SDK ensures it’s connected to the power of the Replicated Platform.
