iTop's 3.3 beta stretches the CMDB to containers, then goes quiet for a month on cleanup

cmdbcontainer managementdata flowlocalisationbeta train
◆Current state
The substantive entry remains the 3.3.0 beta, which adds an optional Container Management module introducing a Cloud class plus container image, application, cluster and host classes, a Data Flow module modelling flows between functional CIs, and sample data installable in French and German alongside English. Sample users are created automatically but arrive disabled with expired passwords. A month later beta3 carries a single commit migrating the last usages of deprecated JavaScript libraries.
◆Where it's heading
The container and data-flow 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 beta train has since narrowed to cleanup — a one-commit third beta four weeks after the first suggests the feature set is settled and the remaining work is dependency hygiene.
◆Prediction
Expect 3.3.0 to reach final with the container and data-flow modules as shipped, since the betas have stopped adding to them. Whether the optional modules ship enabled by default isn't stated in these entries.

    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.
