Notable changes and improvements in odo

  • The --devfile flag is added to odo create. Run odo create <component name> --devfile <devfile path> to specify your devfile location. This flag is only available in the Experimental Mode. See Technology Preview features to learn how to enable it.

  • Dynamic registry support. Now you can configure your own registries with the following commands:

    # Add a registry to the registry list
    odo registry add <registry name> <registry URL>
    
    # List a registry in the registry list
    odo registry list
    
    # Delete a registry from the registry list
    odo registry delete <registry name>
    
    # Update a registry in the registry list
    odo registry update <registry name> <registry URL>
    
    # List a component with a corresponding registry
    odo catalog list components
    
    # Create a component that is hosted by a specific registry
    odo create <component type> --registry <registry name>
  • The --starter flag is added to odo create. Run odo create nodejs --starter <project-name> to download the source code of a project specified in the devfile. If no project name is specified, odo downloads the first one.

  • The --context flag is added to odo push. With --context, you can trigger odo push from outside the source code directory. Run odo push --devfile <path to the devfile> --context <directory with your component> to specify the directory of your component.

  • Performance improvement for odo catalog list components when using the devfiles.

  • The --now flag is added for odo url delete when using the devfiles.

  • odo url delete --now now works with the devfiles.

  • The --debug flag now works with the devfiles.

  • Added machine-readable output for listing Operator-backed services. Run odo catalog list services -o json to display information about Operators and services in JSON format.

  • Added machine-readable output for debugging. Run odo debug info -o json to display the debugging information in JSON format.

  • Added machine-readable output for odo push. Run odo push -o json to display event notifications in JSON format.
