July Product Update

🚀 What's New in Plural

☁️ Plural Cloud: Managed Kubernetes with Built-in Observability

Plural Cloud delivers the full power of Plural's platform without operational overhead. Choose between shared tenancy for cost efficiency or dedicated single-tenant clusters for enterprise security and scale.

Plural Cloud delivers enterprise‑grade observability without the complexity: zero‑setup ELK + Prometheus, automatic CPU/memory dashboards, searchable logs with error context, and cluster health insights built in. It’s $0.30/GB for log ingestion (cheaper than Datadog, Grafana Cloud, and others) with a security‑first egress‑only architecture and rapid deployment via working Git repos and a service catalog for Grafana, Airflow, Dagster, and MLflow.

📈New: Predictive Cost Forecasting

Cost Management now projects future spend so you can act before overruns hit. When viewing a single project, toggle Forecasting to overlay a predictive trendline on your cost and usage charts. Choose a 3‑month, 6‑month, or 12‑month horizon—Plural applies a regression over your historical OpenCost data to estimate where costs will land and surfaces that directly in the UI. This enables proactive budget adjustments, cleaner approvals, and earlier conversations with stakeholders.

🔍 Additional Product Updates

• Stack Terraform Configuration & Tag Management: Stacks now expose Terraform‑specific configuration directly in the Console plus first‑class tag management to standardize IaC parameters without dropping into raw HCL.
• AI Personas & Controlled PR Creation: Gate AI‑generated pull requests behind persona access rules; new persona fields and a generic hasAccess check ensure only authorized personas see “Create PR.”
• Smarter Stack & Terraform Agents: Agents now auto‑fix infrastructure stack configuration alongside Terraform code, add Terraform‑specific highlighting and cluster selection, and harden run handling to reduce flaky PRs.
• Additional Console Enhancements: More reliable compliance report downloads, new SyncConfig support, and iterative compatibility matrix updates to keep add‑ons current.
• CLI & Provisioning Improvements: Refreshed cloud creation menu, automated console repo initialization, and redesigned domain setup flow remove manual steps when standing up environments.
