Summary

The Port Kubernetes Exporter is a new integration designed to enhance Port's Software Catalog by automatically collecting live data from Kubernetes infrastructure, enabling synchronization of various Kubernetes resources into the catalog. This feature allows for advanced mapping and synchronization of Kubernetes resource data to specific entities defined by customizable Blueprints within Port's developer portal. Blueprints serve as the foundational schema definitions for catalog assets, such as microservices and environments, allowing users to track and manage various infrastructure components and properties. The Kubernetes Exporter ensures that any changes in Kubernetes resources are reflected in real-time in the catalog, thereby streamlining the software development lifecycle visualization and management. The integration is easily installed via a Helm Chart, ensuring that updates, deletions, or additions to Kubernetes infrastructure are consistently and accurately mirrored in the Port system, ultimately helping to minimize engineering complexity and improve the developer experience.
