## Bring Your Helm Chart - Launch your BYOC app

Connect your chart using Bring Your Helm and give your customers a full BYOC experience. Continuously deliver updates to your app, add policies, support customer infrastructure and more.

Now you can go from your Helm Chart to [creating an app in Nuon](https://docs.nuon.co/concepts/apps) in moments. Skip learning Nuon config file structure, and get to the the important part of customizing your app.

## CLI Extensions - Templating common Nuon tasks

We’ve added CLI Extensions to the Nuon CLI! Extension system lets you add custom capabilities on top of the base CLI. We modeled ours after [GitHub CLI Extensions](https://docs.github.com/en/github-cli/github-cli/using-github-cli-extensions), another great CLI extension framework.

You can browse our published extensions using:

`nuon ext browse`

There you can see our published extensions, then check out the actions you can take in the CLI with the API extension:

`nuon ext install api`

`nuon api help`

## Operation Roles - Standardize common scenarios

You know the maintenance and upgrade requirements of your app. Operation Roles allow you to practice the [Principle of Least Privilege (PLoP)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principle_of_least_privilege).

Compliance-minded customers demand this so that the vendor’s blast radius of any action is only what is absolutely necessary.
