# January 2018 - Linux Agent 2.8

## Release Overview

Release Date: 02/28/2018

- Azure Kubernetes Support on Linux
- Jenkins Plugin for Deployment Tracking

## Release Features

- **Azure Kubernetes Support on Linux** We now support APM and discovery for Azure Kubernetes (both AKS and ACS).  Users will be able to install the agent on Kubernetes nodes via the extension or through Azure Automation.  Once installed, the nodes will appear in the 'Containers' section of the Server Dashboard.
- **New Jenkins Plugin for Deployment Tracking** Stackify has written a plugin that helps record your deployments with Jenkins in Retrace.  The link to the plugin can be found [here.](https://plugins.jenkins.io/stackify-deployment-recorder)

## Release Enhancements

- The Retrace Linux Agent now captures more details around Azure and AWS EC2 instances (e.g. instance type, region, etc.) when the Agent registers with our services.

## Bug Fixes

- None
