July Product Update

Here's everything Plural shipped in July.

🔧Workbenches Enhancements: Self-verifying agents, serverless actions, and budgets

• Self-verification. A new verification mode and a dedicated VERIFY subagent re-check the affected service or stack run after the agent's PR merges, so a fix gets confirmed instead of assumed.
• Serverless and HTTP actions. A WorkbenchTool can now be an AWS Lambda, a Cloud Run service, an Azure Function, or any HTTP endpoint. If your remediation logic already lives in a Lambda, the agent calls it instead of reimplementing it in a PR — and execution waits for approval when tool approval is enabled.
• Budgets that stop an agent run. Workbench modes now carry a budget with both token and dollar caps, and the run heartbeat terminates a job server-side when it crosses either one.
• Docker and OCI registry tools. Agents can search tags and fetch manifests from any Docker or OCI registry, with basic, bearer, AWS, Azure, or GCP auth. Credentials are encrypted at rest and never exposed back through the API.
• Sentinel tools. Agents can list, trigger, and read Sentinel checks as part of their own verification loop.
• Microsoft Teams chatbot. Teams joins Slack as a first-class chat surface, with threaded reply context so conversations hold state.

☁️Cloud Coverage: vSphere support and cross-provider metrics search

• vSphere provider. A new vSphere provider connects straight to vCenter, putting on-prem virtual infrastructure in the same query surface as cloud state.
• Metrics label search. CloudQuery can now search metric labels across Prometheus, Datadog, CloudWatch, and Azure, returning indexed tags — so you can discover what labels exist on a metric before writing the query instead of guessing at cardinality.
• Datadog traces. The Datadog tool now serves APM traces alongside metrics and logs.

⚡Stacks: Pulumi support

Pulumi support. InfrastructureStack can now drive Pulumi projects alongside Terraform, Terragrunt, and Ansible — same plan/approve/apply lifecycle, policy checks, and cost visibility.
