November 2025 Summaries

Replicated has announced the general availability of its Enterprise Portal for vendors using Embedded Cluster and Helm CLI installation methods, aiming to enhance the enterprise software installation experience with features that emphasize guided installations, upgrade management, and security visibility. The Enterprise Portal serves as a comprehensive platform for customers, integrating installation, upgrades, security, and support in a branded and secure environment, thereby meeting the increasing expectations of self-service, clarity, and security from enterprise software users. It offers capabilities like dynamic installation instructions, streamlined updates, customizable branding, self-service trial access, and a Security Center feature for transparency in security and licensing, ultimately reducing support needs and improving customer confidence. This launch is a significant step in Replicated's mission to simplify enterprise software delivery, with ongoing development focusing on richer security transparency and customer experience customization.

The November 2025 Replicated Monthly Release Highlights introduces several updates and new features, including the availability of Network Reports through the Vendor Portal, allowing users to test applications with airgap network policies and monitor outbound activity. The Compatibility Matrix now supports setting up SSH access to VMs using any public/private key pair, offering more flexibility than relying on GitHub-tied keys. Improvements in TTL usability and messaging for Embedded Clusters help streamline user interaction and troubleshooting, particularly when security tools interfere with Kubernetes operations. The kURL platform now supports Kubernetes 1.34, with updates to add-ons like containerd and Flannel, while the Vendor Portal introduces an Alpha version of the Security Center to enhance security monitoring and risk assessment for vendors and enterprise customers. Additionally, documentation updates include an improved search feature powered by Algolia DocSearch, enhanced onboarding guides for the Enterprise Portal, and clarification on configuring HelmChart v2 image name processes.
