Codefresh launches a new integration with Microsoft Azure
Codefresh has announced a new integration with Microsoft Azure that will make it easier for teams to adopt Helm.
The integration provides the ability to add repositories to Codefresh by logging in to Azure, consume and push Charts from Codefresh, manage Chart deployments in Kubernetes clusters, and geo-replicate charts across many regions.
“Helm Chart Repositories are a natural and obvious addition to Azure Container Registry as we see more and more customers moving into production needing a means to deploy a collection of images and configurations. Being able to geo-replicate Helm Charts alongside their referenced images using common authentication streamlines chart deployments. We continue to be impressed by the focus and experiences Codefresh brings to container native development, and the creative and customer focused team,” said Steve Lasker, principal program manager for Microsoft Container Registries.
