The plug-in operates locally on exported files to transform configurations without making live cluster changes, allowing teams to audit output before deployment. It translates Git, image, and binary sources by mapping Docker methods to Buildah and standardizing source-to-image workflows. Additionally, it transitions companion resources such as ServiceAccounts, Secrets, and ConfigMaps directly into the destination cluster. Any unsupported items, such as JenkinsPipeline strategies, are retained unchanged alongside descriptive annotations.

Red Hat OpenShift has built container images with BuildConfigs for years. Builds for Red Hat OpenShift is the Kubernetes-native way to do the same work. Based on Shipwright, it runs builds without root privileges, and supports Buildah and source-to-image (S2I) strategies. Moving many BuildConfigs by hand is slow and easy to get wrong.
If your teams still build images with Red Hat OpenShift BuildConfigs, you can now convert them to builds for Red Hat OpenShift with a plug-in you install with a single command. This post takes a BuildConfig from the source cluster to a finished image on the target cluster. By the end, you have a converted build, know how to read its warnings, and know which BuildConfig features still need work by hand.
The plug-in is an upstream release of the Konveyor Crane project, a tool that moves application resources between Kubernetes clusters. It is not yet part of a supported Red Hat product.
What changed since January 2026
In January 2026, we announced a Developer Preview. That post turned a BuildConfig into a Shipwright build, the resource…
Routine automated checks inadvertently knocked servers offline, triggering an infrastructure overload that severed critical Microsoft 365 services across more than 70 countries. The widespread disruption crippled government agencies, judicial operations, and commercial communications for nearly an entire day. This systemic failure has intensified scrutiny from experts regarding the vulnerabilities of concentrating critical global infrastructure within a few dominant technology firms.
Weighing only 1.5 ounces, the new CS-8 Micro introduces an ultra-portable design to Camp Snap's vintage-inspired line while trading high video fidelity for pocket convenience. Unlike previous screenless devices from the brand, it adds a dedicated electronic viewfinder, though users must still transfer files to an external computer or smartphone to view their clips. This launch aims to capture the nostalgia market through a blind-box distribution model with low-friction retro video recording.
The open-source office suite project released a direct public statement emphasizing that its software operates without interruption year-round. This public communication underscores the platform's continuous operational availability for its global user base.
