今天這篇文章要探討的是關於 Kubernetes 內應用程式版本的一些議題。
Kubernetes 提供一個平台供開發者與維運者去安裝各式各樣的應用來滿足各種不同的工作，然而這些應用程式本身都由不同的組織或公司維護，且都有屬於自己的版本發行。

對於維運人員來說，要將這些應用程式安裝到 Kubernetes 內也有眾多選擇，不論是 Helm, Kustomize, Jsonnet 甚至是原生 Yaml，這也意味者一個 Kubernetes 叢集內，可能同時使用多套工具來安裝應用程式

作者的公司遇到的問題就是，我要怎麼知道目前哪些應用程式有新的版本可以更新? 有沒有一個類似 Maven 或是 Scala Steward 之類的工具，可以幫忙檢查所有使用軟體的版本狀態是否有新版需要更新。

作者沒有看到一個適合於 Kubernetes 內的解決方案，但是找到了一個名為 nvchecker (new version chekcer) 的開源專案，並且嘗試使用該開源專案來解決版本更新問題

對於使用 Helm 的應用程式來說，我們可以透過 helm repo 的方式來觀察最新版本，這部分簡單。
但是對於其他的安裝方式，有些可能只能觀察 Github/GitLab 的頁面，或是相關的 Tag 來知道最新的 image 有哪些。

作者於文中示範如何使用 nvcheckr 來檢查不同軟體的最新版本，並且輸出可更新的選項讓管理員人知道有哪些需要處理。
