Summary
SkyWalking 11.0.0 makes Horizon UI an independently deployed component rather than a bundled legacy web UI and exposes a dedicated administration port for management APIs. The release adds TLS certificate hot reload for OAP HTTP and REST servers, runtime rule hot-update, live DSL debugging, and trace-tail sampling.
Why it matters
Operators must account for a deployment-topology change, but can gain safer runtime observability changes without restarting the entire system.
