ClouDNS vs werf: at a glance
What is ClouDNS?
ClouDNS updates its WHMCS module with HTTPS and SVCB record support
ClouDNS released version 1.9 of its WHMCS provisioning module, adding WHMCS 9 support, HTTPS and SVCB DNS records and new CAA parameters for resellers. Recent months also brought RapidSSL and Actalis certificates, Maintenance Mode for monitoring, and a steady series of new TLD accreditations.
What is werf?
werf v3.12.2 lets --values and --set override secret values and fixes RUN mount rebuilds.
werf's v3.12.2, on alpha and beta, is a fix release: --values and --set can now override secret values, Dockerfile builds rebuild when a RUN bind-mount source changes, and a lock timeout deadlock is gone. v2.84.1 on alpha backports the Docker Hub login and saved-plan fixes and stops uninstall hangs. v3.12.1 remains the first v3 release in the feed on the stable and rock-solid channels.

ClouDNS updates its WHMCS module with HTTPS and SVCB record support
◆ Current state
ClouDNS released version 1.9 of its WHMCS provisioning module, adding WHMCS 9 support, HTTPS and SVCB DNS records and new CAA parameters for resellers. Recent months also brought RapidSSL and Actalis certificates, Maintenance Mode for monitoring, and a steady series of new TLD accreditations.
◆ Where it's heading
ClouDNS keeps widening the services around its DNS core: certificates, monitoring and status pages, and now reseller tooling. TLD accreditations continue as routine catalog growth.
◆ Prediction
Expect more TLD accreditations and small additions to SSL and monitoring; nothing in the entries points to a larger shift.

werf v3.12.2 lets --values and --set override secret values and fixes RUN mount rebuilds.
◆ Current state
werf's v3.12.2, on alpha and beta, is a fix release: --values and --set can now override secret values, Dockerfile builds rebuild when a RUN bind-mount source changes, and a lock timeout deadlock is gone. v2.84.1 on alpha backports the Docker Hub login and saved-plan fixes and stops uninstall hangs. v3.12.1 remains the first v3 release in the feed on the stable and rock-solid channels.
◆ Where it's heading
After v3 first reached every channel, the two lines keep moving in step, with shared fixes landing the same day. v3 is getting more of the deploy and Dockerfile behavior changes while v2 receives fix-only patches, which fits v3 becoming the main line, though the entries don't say so.
◆ Prediction
Expect v3.12.2 to move up to stable and rock-solid as v3.12.1 did. A migration note for v2 users would confirm the shift.
