Airship v1.0 Release

The Airship community is excited to announce its v1.0 release in conjunction with the Open Infrastructure Summit Denver. Airship v1.0 delivers a wide range of enhancements to security, resiliency, continuous integration, and documentation as well as upgrades to the platform, deployment and tooling features. The v1.0 milestone marks production readiness of Airship for the enterprise.

The community has been actively developing toward the v1.0 release since the project was introduced as an OSF pilot project in May 2018, and has achieved security at scale, scalable operations and reliable upgrades, as well nightly CI/CD validation of integrations and example deployments. The release is ready to use, and the community has developed several CI-integrated reference manifests that have been documented as examples to get started.

The deployment manifests for the v1.0 release can be found here, and they may be deployed by following the Airship Site Deployment Guide.
