It covers new features, changes, deprecations, and important upgrade information to ensure a smooth transition and optimal use of KVA within your Kubernetes environments. Show full answer Show less ## Upgrade Preparation and Process * Upgrade the KVA application via the ServiceNow Store to the Brazil version. * After upgrading the application, update the KVA deployment within your Kubernetes clusters to match the new version. * Ensure ITOM Visibility base plugins, Discovery, and proper Kubernetes cluster access permissions are in place. * The agent must be deployed in every Kubernetes cluster you intend to monitor. ## New Features in Brazil * **Software decomposition tool using Syft Scanner:** Analyze container images to generate a Software Bill of Materials (SBOM), helping identify components, dependencies, and vulnerabilities for enhanced security compliance and risk management. * **FIPS 140 compliance:** Deploy KVA with FIPS 140 compliant informer and daemonset images meeting federal cryptographic standards, suitable for regulated environments. ## Changes * **Kubernetes resource dependency views:** Enhanced Dependency Views on resource details pages provide improved visualization of relationships between Kubernetes resources and related configuration items. This assists administrators in understanding service dependencies and troubleshooting more effectively. ## Deprecations * **Legacy Kubernetes discovery API:** This API is deprecated and will be removed in a future release. Customers should transition to the enhanced discovery capabilities and updated API endpoints introduced in Brazil. ## Activation and Usage * KVA is available as a store application; install it from the ServiceNow Store and configure it to connect with your Kubernetes clusters. * Use the latest versions of Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge browsers for optimal performance when accessing the Kubernetes explorer dashboard. * The dashboard supports accessibility features, including keyboard navigation and compatibility with screen readers such as JAWS and NVDA. * The application is currently available in English, with potential additional language support in future releases. ## Key Outcomes for ServiceNow Customers * Automated discovery and monitoring of Kubernetes clusters, nodes, namespaces, services, workloads, pods, and Docker images. * Maintain an up-to-date inventory of containerized applications and infrastructure to support service mapping and incident management. * Enhanced visibility into Kubernetes resource relationships and dependencies improves operational troubleshooting and risk management. * Compliance with federal security standards through FIPS 140 support enables deployment in regulated environments.
