HashiCorp Waypoint version 0.6 focuses on Kubernetes and introduces features to simplify and automate Helm application deployments. The Helm plugin simplifies the deployment process by abstracting away individual Helm commands, allowing for a single command to handle build, deploy, and release processes. Additionally, Waypoint's integration with Git repositories enables practitioners to use GitOps workflows, which automates the CI/CD process and reduces the barrier to entry. This allows users to deploy applications quickly and easily to Kubernetes and other platforms using a single file, `waypoint.hcl`.
