2. Bring Your Own Kubernetes with Qovery

Installing Qovery on your Kubernetes cluster is now straightforward with the command qovery cluster install. This command initiates a simple wizard that generates a Helm chart for you to review and apply. This feature is fully accessible without any restrictions or time limits, and it is free.

3. Manage Kubernetes Annotations

Qovery now allows you to manage your Kubernetes annotations with an intuitive and powerful interface, giving you greater control over your Kubernetes deployments.

We are continually working to simplify the deployment of any type of application within Qovery. Our new service list is designed to make this process more intuitive, ensuring quick and easy application deployment.

We have introduced a consistent way to offer assistance within Qovery at any point in your journey. The contextual helper provides comprehensive help from our documentation, forum, and, if needed, our support engineering team.

Bonus: Qovery Portal
