Open-source ITSM and CMDB platform with ticketing and asset management.

iTop's 3.3 beta stretches the CMDB to containers and finally ships non-English sample data

itsmcmdbcontainersbetaonboarding
Current state
The only substantive entry is the 3.3.0 beta, which adds an optional Container Management module introducing a Cloud class plus container image, application and cluster classes, and makes sample data installable in French and German alongside English. Sample users are created automatically but arrive disabled with expired passwords. The two other entries are internal designer build tags carrying single bug-fix references.
Where it's heading
The container work is iTop extending its configuration model to infrastructure its users have been running for years without a place to record it. Pairing that with localised sample data and pre-built test users points at reducing time-to-first-value during evaluation — the module and the onboarding polish are aimed at different audiences in the same release.
Prediction
Expect further 3.3 betas before a general release, with the Container Management module likely staying optional while its class model settles.

    iTop 3.3 beta adds container CMDB classes and localised sample data

    An optional module brings cloud and container classes into the CMDB, while sample data becomes installable in French and German with auto-created, disabled test users. It broadens what iTop can model and lowers the cost of a first evaluation.
