## Feature Updates

#### Customer Dashboard

You can use our new customer dashboard at [customers.nuon.co](http://customers.nuon.co) to create management portals for your customers.

Using the customer dashboard, your customers can install and update their installs, run actions, and more.

#### Orchestration Policies

We currently support in-cluster policies that allow you to define contracts between your applications at the cluster level.

In our latest changelog, we added an early version of orchestration policies which allow you to define a contract with your customer for how your application operates.

You can use these to prevent creating specific resources, ban images without different artifacts and much, much more.

#### App Branches

We are adding a new feature called app-branches, which allows you to connect your app to branches and automatically update installs with each change. Combined with policies, this will allow vendors to manage more installs.

## BYOC In The Community

[Continuent](https://www.continuent.com/) Founder & CEO, Eero Teerikorpi, shared that his company's future goal is to [open up a BYOC offering:](https://pulse2.com/continuent-profile-eero-teerikorpi/)

“Unlike traditional DBaaS offerings, our current and new solutions will follow a Bring-Your-Own-Cloud (BYOC) model, where customers retain control of their infrastructure, costs, and compliance.”

[Knovos](https://www.knovos.com/)’ solicitor and director, Sid Jiwnani [said in the LegalTech Monitor](https://www.legaltechmonitor.com/2026/01/the-vendor-view-2026-a-breakthrough-ai-year-and-one-of-reckoning/), “(BYOC) bring your own cloud is going to be a hit as users demand more control and ownership over their own data.”

He says it “gives a company the best of both worlds, full control over the data with full service support from the vendor.”
