MOLO17 is proud to announce the release of [**Gluesync 2.1.7**](https://docs.molo17.com/gluesync/v2.1/release-notes/release-notes.html#_latest_release_2_1_7), a new version that takes a major step forward in platform orchestration and deployment flexibility. Building upon the [enhanced schema handling of version 2.1.5](https://molo17.com/blog/gluesync-2-1-5-released/) and the [powerful table creation capabilities introduced in 2.1.6](https://molo17.com/blog/gluesync-2-1-6-release-target-table-creation-wizard-parquet-support/), this update debuts **Gluesync Conductor**, a brand-new module for managing containerized agents and streamlining infrastructure operations. Alongside this, version 2.1.7 delivers a **renewed Kubernetes implementation**, **enhanced Docker Compose kits** and several improvements to usability and reliability across the platform. ## Gluesync Conductor: automated agent orchestration for Docker environments The highlight of this release is undoubtedly **Gluesync Conductor**, a new module designed to simplify how users **deploy, manage and update Gluesync agents** within containerized environments. Conductor acts as an **orchestration layer** for Gluesync, providing a RESTful API and deep integration with the **Core Hub** UI. With Conductor, Docker-based deployments gain a smarter, automated way to operate: - add new agents directly from the UI, no manual YAML or Compose edits required. - monitor container lifecycles and status in real-time. - leverage automatic version tracking and updates. - maintain consistent and centralized configuration for multiple agents. Built with Node.js, Conductor introduces a modern container management layer that connects seamlessly to your Docker infrastructure and Gluesync Control Plane. At launch, Conductor is available for **Linux users** and will later extend to **Windows environments**. Learn more about the Conductor module in the official [documentation](https://docs.molo17.com/gluesync/v2.1/gs-modules/conductor.html). ## Add agents directly from the Gluesync UI For the first time, users can **add new source or target agents directly from the Gluesync Web Interface**. Thanks to the integration between Conductor and the Core Hub, deploying a new agent no longer requires manual command-line operations. Instead, you can launch the process through the **pipeline creation wizard**: 1. Open your pipeline’s setup wizard from the Core Hub UI. 2. Click _Add Agent_ to start the deployment flow. 3. Select the desired source or target agent from the list. 4. Configure resources (CPU, RAM, SSL options). 5. Click _Verify & Proceed_ and within seconds, your new agent is deployed. This feature simplifies the setup time for new pipelines, helping teams focus on configuration and data flow rather than container management. Explore how to [add agents directly from the UI here](https://docs.molo17.com/gluesync/v2.1/core-hub/adding-agents.html). ## Revamped Kubernetes support Gluesync 2.1.7 also introduces a **major overhaul of the Kubernetes deployment model**. The new **Helm charts** have been completely reworked and now support a richer and more standardized deployment experience out of the box. Highlighted improvements include: - Built-in support for proxy, Chronos Scheduler, Prometheus and Grafana. - Compatibility with GKE, EKS and AKS environments - Local Kubernetes deployment mode, making testing and hybrid setups easier. - Simplified configuration structure and improved maintenance. A **new Kubernetes deployment guide** is now available, helping DevOps teams roll out Gluesync across diverse infrastructure setups with confidence. ## Enhanced Docker Compose kits Gluesync’s ready-to-go **Docker Compose kits** have been redesigned with an intuitive structure for files and logs, significantly improving environment management. They now include Portainer exposed on port 9443, along with monitoring tools accessible through dedicated endpoints: Grafana available at /grafana and Prometheus at /prometheus. For Linux users, Conductor comes bundled by default with the kits, providing immediate access to the new orchestration capabilities without requiring additional installations. These improvements create a more transparent and maintainable container stack for deploying and observing your data integration environments. ## Why upgrade to Gluesync 2.1.7 The release of Gluesync 2.1.7 represents a significant step toward **unified service orchestration and modern container deployment**. Key benefits include: - Automated agent management via Gluesync Conductor - Agent addition directly from the UI, no manual setup required - Fully reworked Kubernetes support with multiple cloud platform compatibility - Improved Docker Compose kits for simpler, structured environments - Refinements to UI stability and agent connection logic (e.g., GSSD-376 fix) By bridging orchestration, configuration and observability, Gluesync 2.1.7 empowers teams to deploy faster, scale smarter and maintain complete visibility over their data integration pipelines. Existing users can upgrade to version 2.1.7 through the **customer portal**. New users can sign up for a **30-day trial** to experience Gluesync’s enterprise-grade data replication and synchronization capabilities.
