SREWorks v1.2 Unveiled: New Marketplace, Private Build & Data Boosts

1. Application Marketplace

SREWorks team designed a market distribution mechanism similar to Helm/RPM repositories. The public marketplace can be built on any static storage service and supports cache acceleration; currently Alibaba Cloud OSS is supported, with MinIO/S3 planned.

Multiple SREWorks platforms can publish packages to the same market, and a platform can subscribe to multiple markets.

Users are encouraged to build private markets on top of the application marketplace for internal use, with more public applications to be added for plug‑and‑play usage.

2. Pure Intranet Source Build

The v1.2 iteration organizes source‑build dependencies, allowing users to select or replace resources for builds in isolated or special environments.

2.1 Base Source Build

Before running ./build.sh, environment variables can be set to change resource addresses; defaults are used if omitted.

2.2 Operations Application Source Build

When running helm install/upgrade, additional parameters can be passed to enable in‑network build and deployment of operations applications.

3. Data Platform Capability Enhancements

3.1 Metric Collection Improvements

Managed clusters now use metricbeat to collect Prometheus exporter metrics. Pods with labels sreworks-prometheus-scrape-metric: enable and sreworks-prometheus-io-scrape: enable are automatically discovered. Previously only Service label sreworks-telemetry-metric: enable was supported.

3.2 Data Consumption Improvements

A new logstash data service component enables multi‑pipeline distribution of operational data. v1.2 routes collected metric data to Kafka, allowing custom processing via the VVP platform.

4. Other Optimizations

Fix service not reclaimed after application uninstall.

Remove Python 2.7 dependency from code base.

Support custom namespace during operations‑application deployment.

Site search service now indexes instance detail pages.

Complete front‑end component documentation.

5. How to Upgrade to v1.2

Upgrade includes the base platform; pages may be unavailable for 5‑10 minutes.

User‑developed cloud‑native applications are unaffected (no restart), but traffic through the SREWorks gateway may be interrupted.

git clone http://github.com/alibaba/sreworks.git -b v1.2 sreworks
cd sreworks
./sbin/upgrade-cluster.sh --kubeconfig="****"
