Replicated

Excited that Evans Mungai (Helm core maintainer, Senior CRE at Replicated) is speaking at Cloud Native Rejekts EU 2026! Talk: Helm Charts v3: A preview of what’s coming next If you're in Amsterdam early next week and care about #Helm, packaging, or shipping software into real-world Kubernetes environments, check this one out! …native-rejekts-eu-2026.sessionize.com/speaker/5d26c3… #Kubernetes #Helm #CloudNative #KubeCon #Rejekts #PlatformEngineering

RepliCon Q1 (our virtual conference) is almost here! Join us on March 19 at 9 AM PT to see how teams are improving support, scaling distribution, and turning product usage into signal with the Replicated platform. We will be sharing sessions designed to help you: ✅ Build bulletproof support for on-prem deployments ✅ Improve customer management ✅ Turn trial activity into meaningful sales signal ✅ See progress toward GA for Embedded Cluster v3 & learn how to get involved If your team ships software into customer environments and wants to improve support, installs, and product led growth, you will want to be there. eventbrite.com/e/replicon-q1-…

You have a great SaaS product, so great in fact that you have prospects who want it on prem and air gapped. Yay! Big new customer! Big new contract! Lots of revenue! That is, if you can get it into an air gapped environment.... Now the question is: take some engineering team members away to build the deployment, or go out and buy a solution. In this blog, we explore the pros and cons of each (although, we are of course biased towards the "buy" choice). replicated.com/blog/air-gappe…

Air-gapped deployments are where “just export the images” turns into a second product. It usually starts with one enterprise deal. Then comes custom packaging. Manual updates. Support escalations. Security reviews. Suddenly your team is maintaining a parallel distribution pipeline. So the real question is not can you build for air-gapped environments. It is: Should you? In our latest article, we break down the real build vs buy tradeoffs, from engineering cost to sales velocity to long-term scalability. If you build B2B software that runs in customer environments, this release is worth a look.

Upgrading software in customer environments is one of the highest risk moments in on-prem delivery. If something goes wrong, you lose trust fast. Today we are excited to share a demo of Embedded Cluster v3, now in Alpha for single-node installs, built to make installs and upgrades dramatically more reliable in enterprise Linux environments. What this means for teams shipping into customer controlled infrastructure: • No more losing connection during cluster upgrades • A management UI that stays accessible when you need it most • License sync, configuration changes, and version upgrades in one streamlined workflow • Infrastructure upgrades that run on the host, reducing cluster level risk • Support for custom host preflights and enhanced node roles In short: fewer fragile upgrade processes. Less operational risk. More predictable delivery. If you build B2B software that runs in customer environments, this release is worth a look. Watch the overview demo below 👇 loom.com/share/2b5250ce…

“Self-hosted customers used to take days to get installed, and now we can do it in 30 minutes or less.” - Steve Lapp , @itrsgroup Customer-demanded air-gapped deployment doesn’t have to mean slow, painful installs. By standardizing how software is delivered into customer-managed environments with Replicated, teams can achieve this kind of speed, without adding support overhead.

We’re excited to share that Replicated is a sponsor of hashtag#HumanX in San Francisco, April 6–9 🎉 HumanX brings together teams building and operating hashtag#AI-powered products. At Replicated, we work with companies navigating that same reality, where modern software, increasingly powered by AI, needs to be securely delivered, updated, and operated across a wide range of customer environments. As AI capabilities move closer to production and into more regulated and security-conscious settings, the question is not just what you build, but how you ship and manage it everywhere your customers run. If you’re heading to HumanX, we’d love to connect.

AI is dramatically accelerating engineering velocity, but testing and validation haven’t kept up. That gap is becoming one of the biggest unsolved problems teams face as they try to ship AI-powered software. Recorded live at KubeCon North America 2025, @GrantM joined The AI Kubernetes Show by @BuoyantIO to talk with William Chia about: why testing and validation are the unsolved AI code challengeshow AI is reshaping Kubernetes platforms and team culture, and why higher velocity puts real pressure on platform teams and distribution workflows. If you’re building or shipping AI features today, especially into real customer environments, this conversation will probably feel very familiar. ☞ buoyant.io/ai-kubernetes-…

No one can look at a 2,000-line Helm chart and say, “yeah, that’ll work.” CEO @GrantM on why Kubernetes validation breaks down at scale, and why validation loops are the real problem. 🎧 Full episode of The AI Kubernetes Show, a limited podcast series by @BuoyantIO, drops today.

Turns out yelling at the cloud isn’t a great on-prem strategy. Replicated helps you ship software where security-conscious customers actually want it: inside their environment.

Backups are one of those things you don’t think about...until you really need them. That’s why we’re excited to share that Replicated Embedded Cluster now supports native Velero plugins. With Embedded Cluster 2.13.0, vendors can customize backup and restore behavior using a fully supported approach, instead of relying on workarounds or unsupported overrides. The result: more flexibility in how backups are handled, fewer surprises during recovery, and a path that’s easier to maintain as your application and customer environments evolve,especially in air-gapped and enterprise deployments. We covered this update (and more) in our January 2026 release highlights 👇 replicated.com/blog/replicate…

We’re excited to share that Evans Mungai, Senior Customer Reliability Engineer at Replicated, has been named a Core Maintainer of #Helm. Evans has been a long-time contributor to the Helm community, from triage and issue management to co-authoring Helm Improvement Proposals focused on chart readiness and resource handling. His work has helped make Helm more reliable and more usable in real-world, enterprise environments. This milestone is a testament to Evans’ dedication to open source and the trust the Helm community has placed in him. We’re incredibly proud to see his work recognized at this level. Congratulations Evans 👏

Installation is not a technical footnote. It’s the moment value either starts or never does. That’s why Replicated helps software vendors make installation a first class product experience for their customers, not a handoff to docs, scripts, or support. Watch Alex Parker’s talk, “What’s Next for Replicated’s Installers?”, to learn about the next generation of Replicated’s installer experience we’re building to simplify installs and upgrades. youtu.be/badjTG9VfPo?si…
