PROFILE

Akarsha-rai

Worked extensively on the red-hat-storage/ocs-ci repository, delivering features and fixes that enhanced test automation, disaster recovery, and CI reliability for cloud storage systems. Developed certificate rotation validation, disaster recovery data integrity checks, and flexible workload creation APIs using Python and Kubernetes, applying automation and factory design patterns to streamline test provisioning and reduce configuration friction. Improved test resilience by introducing negative-path testing and robust retry logic for transient failures, addressing flaky test behavior and strengthening upgrade readiness. Integrated CephFS and Ceph health validation into workflows, ensuring comprehensive coverage and operational stability across diverse OpenShift storage and cloud infrastructure scenarios.

Work History

March 2026

1 Commits

Mar 1, 2026

March 2026: Delivered targeted robustness improvement to the ocs-ci test suite. Implemented Ceph Health Status Negative Test Enablement by passing validate=False to enable a negative test path, improving coverage and reducing flaky failures. The change is isolated to red-hat-storage/ocs-ci and tracked under issue #14606. This work lays groundwork for additional negative-path testing and more reliable CEPH health validations.

Feb 1, 2026

February 2026 monthly summary for red-hat-storage/ocs-ci. Delivered a flexible workload creation API by making workload_path optional and defaulting to workload_dir, reducing configuration friction and enabling easier test workload provisioning across environments. Fixed issue 14388 in the workload factory to ensure the optional workload_path behavior and safe defaults, improving reliability and CI stability. These changes streamline test setup, accelerate CI pipelines, and enhance overall CI reliability for diverse deployment scenarios.

Nov 1, 2025

Monthly summary for 2025-11 (red-hat-storage/ocs-ci): Key features delivered include disaster recovery data protection verification integrated with failover/relocation workflows to ensure data integrity, and enhanced disaster recovery testing with fsync-based data integrity checks on a shared CephFS volume. Major bugs fixed include correcting the CSI addons node resource name for OpenShift Storage to ensure proper identification and operation. Overall impact: strengthens DR readiness, reliability of OpenShift storage components, and test coverage, reducing risk during failover and data operations. Technologies demonstrated: Python function development, test automation, OpenShift CSI integration, CephFS/fsync data integrity validation, and Git-based traceability through commit-level changes.

Sep 1, 2025

September 2025 focused on strengthening test resilience, validating upgrade readiness, and improving resource visibility in red-hat-storage/ocs-ci. Delivered three targeted features that reduce flaky tests and increase confidence in upgrade paths and CephFS operations. Key outcomes include improved test stability under stress, verified pre-upgrade monitoring PVC presence, and validated MDS cache trimming behavior in standby-replay mode.

Jul 1, 2025

July 2025 monthly summary for red-hat-storage/ocs-ci: Implemented reliability improvements for AMQ cleanup to reduce flaky test behavior and improved test stability post node reboots. These changes focus on business value by increasing CI reliability and reducing maintenance burden on test pipelines. Key changes were a retry mechanism for AMQ cleanup to handle transient failures and a longer waiting period after node reboots to ensure consistent AMQ resource management in tests. Committed as 2f68725e686fb5ce576f7c25c4e947761fcbb12b with message 'Retry AMQ cleanup if failed due to temporay issue (#12554)'.

November 2024 monthly summary for red-hat-storage/ocs-ci: Focused on certificate rotation testing and CI reliability. Delivered a dedicated Certificate Rotation Refresh Test to validate that NooBaa uses a newly generated internal certificate after secret rotation, ensuring the new certificate is created and used when the noobaa-s3-serving-cert secret is deleted. This work enhances security, compliance, and end-to-end validation in production-like environments.
