# Cozystack v1.0.0-alpha.1 — "Package-Based Architecture"
This alpha release introduces a fundamental architectural shift from HelmRelease bundles to Package-based deployment managed by the new cozystack-operator. It includes a comprehensive backup system with Velero integration, significant API changes that rename the core CRD, Flux sharding for improved tenant workload distribution, enhanced monitoring capabilities, and various improvements to virtual machines, tenants, and the build workflow.
> **⚠️ Alpha Release Warning**: This is a pre-release version intended for testing and early adoption. Breaking changes may occur before the stable v1.0.0 release.
## Breaking Changes
### API Rename: CozystackResourceDefinition → ApplicationDefinition
The `CozystackResourceDefinition` CRD has been renamed to `ApplicationDefinition` for better clarity and consistency. This change affects:
- All Go types and controller files
- CRD Helm chart renamed from `cozystack-resource-definition-crd` to `application-definition-crd`
- All cozyrds YAML manifests updated to use `kind: ApplicationDefinition`
A migration (v24) is included to handle the transition automatically.
### Package-Based Deployment
The platform now uses Package resources managed by cozystack-operator instead of HelmRelease bundles. Key changes:
- Restructured values.yaml with full configuration support (networking, publishing, authentication, scheduling, branding, resources)
- Added values-isp-full.yaml and values-isp-hosted.yaml for bundle variants
- Package resources replace old HelmRelease templates
- PackageSources moved from sources/ to templates/sources/
- Migration script `hack/migrate-to-version-1.0.sh` provided for converting ConfigMaps to Package resources

## Major Features and Improvements
### Cozystack Operator
A new operator has been introduced to manage Package and PackageSource resources, providing declarative package management for the platform:
* **[cozystack-operator] Introduce API objects: packages and packagesources**: Added new CRDs for declarative package management, defining the API for Package and PackageSource resources ([**@kvaps**](https://github.com/kvaps) in #1740).

* **[cozystack-operator] Add Package and PackageSource reconcilers**: Added controllers for Package and PackageSource resources with full reconciliation support ([**@kvaps**](https://github.com/kvaps) in #1755).
* **[cozystack-operator] Add deployment files**: Added Kubernetes deployment manifests for running cozystack-operator in the cluster ([**@kvaps**](https://github.com/kvaps) in #1761).
* **[platform] Add PackageSources for cozystack-operator**: Added PackageSource definitions for cozystack-operator integration ([**@kvaps**](https://github.com/kvaps) in #1760).
* **[cozypkg] Add tool for managing Package and PackageSources**: Added CLI tool for managing Package and PackageSource resources ([**@kvaps**](https://github.com/kvaps) in #1756).
### Backup System
Comprehensive backup functionality has been added with Velero integration for managing application backups:
* **[backups] Implement core backup Plan controller**: Core controller for managing backup schedules and plans, providing the foundation for backup orchestration ([**@lllamnyp**](https://github.com/lllamnyp) in #1640).
* **[backups] Build and deploy backup controller**: Deployment infrastructure for the backup controller, including container image builds and Kubernetes manifests ([**@lllamnyp**](https://github.com/lllamnyp) in #1685).
* **[backups] Scaffold a backup strategy API group**: Added API group for backup strategies, enabling pluggable backup implementations ([**@lllamnyp**](https://github.com/lllamnyp) in #1687).
* **[backups] Add indices to core backup resources**: Added indices to backup resources for improved query performance ([**@lllamnyp**](https://github.com/lllamnyp) in #1719).

Includes restructured values.yaml with full configuration support and migration tooling ([**@kvaps**](https://github.com/kvaps) in #1816).
* **refactor(api): rename CozystackResourceDefinition to ApplicationDefinition**: Renamed CRD and all related types for better clarity and consistency. Updated all Go types, controllers, and 25+ YAML manifests ([**@kvaps**](https://github.com/kvaps) in #1864).
* **feat(flux): implement flux sharding for tenant HelmReleases**: Added Flux sharding support to distribute tenant HelmRelease reconciliation across multiple controllers, improving scalability in multi-tenant environments ([**@kvaps**](https://github.com/kvaps) in #1816).
* **refactor(installer): migrate installer to cozystack-operator**: Moved installer functionality to cozystack-operator for unified management ([**@kvaps**](https://github.com/kvaps) in #1816).
* **feat(api): add chartRef to ApplicationDefinition**: Added chartRef field to support ExternalArtifact references for flexible chart sourcing ([**@kvaps**](https://github.com/kvaps) in #1816).
* **feat(api): show only hash in version column for applications and modules**: Simplified version display in API responses for cleaner output ([**@kvaps**](https://github.com/kvaps) in #1816).
