Summary

At Humanitec, we're committed to enhancing the productivity of development teams by continuously evolving our Platform Orchestrator to meet their complex and unique needs. With this goal in mind, we've added a new feature: Custom Workload Profiles. A Workload is a representation of code running in a Kubernetes cluster, typically as a pod, while a Profile defines infrastructure and runtime requirements for applications and services. The three default Profiles provided by Humanitec previously contained generic features useful for most standard Workloads. With Customizable Workload Profiles, developers can now precisely control the inputs required by their Workloads and how they should be rendered in the Humanitec Portal. This allows for tailored abstraction, empowering platform teams to curate the right level of abstraction for their developers. By fine-tuning Workload Profiles, teams can simplify the UX for developers, reduce cognitive load, and improve productivity when deploying new workloads or making changes to existing ones.
