Last week we worked hard into creating another stable set for our main BoMs which include Activiti Dependencies: 7.0.49, Activiti Cloud Dependencies: 7.0.71, and Activiti Cloud Modeling Dependencies: 7.0.3. We are testing this artifacts to produce our Beta2 release, but you can consume them from our Alfresco Nexus repository (https://artifacts.alfresco.com/nexus/content/repositories/activiti-releases). Beta2 will include the basic building blocks for modeling a process (against the modeling backend services) and to deploy it into a running application into a Kubernetes Cluster. The deployment mechanism will be HELM and we will provide the instructions to deploy these charts (https://github.com/activiti/activiti-cloud-charts).
