Carus Kyle
Worked on the sassoftware/viya4-iac-azure repository to deliver infrastructure automation and reliability improvements for Azure-based SAS Viya deployments. Over seven months, implemented features such as automated dependency updates with Dependabot, configurable Azure Resource Provider registrations, and experimental Azure Spot Node Pools to optimize cost and deployment flexibility. Enhanced network security by integrating Cilium with AKS and improved deployment reliability through targeted bug fixes in Terraform modules. Leveraged skills in Infrastructure as Code, Terraform, and Kubernetes, using HCL and YAML to streamline CI/CD workflows, reduce manual intervention, and enable scalable, auditable cloud provisioning for complex enterprise environments.

Feb 1, 2026February 2026: Implemented configurable disk types for OS and Kubelet in sassoftware/viya4-iac-azure, enabling selection among OS Managed/Temporary and Kubelet OS/Ephemeral storage. Defaults remain Managed (OS) and OS (Kubelet) when not set. The change includes docs updates, var prefix alignment to the community prefix, and ensured var flow through submodules. Core commit: 6483064a61f3123698df2166a2af5a0a05715d0f.

Jan 1, 2025January 2025: Focused on release engineering efficiency and infra reliability for the Viya4 IAC Azure project. Implemented Dependabot configuration to reduce open PRs to 2 and to target the staging branch for Docker and GitHub Actions dependencies, accelerating safe dependency updates with reduced review overhead. Updated default VM generations from v3 to v5 to improve performance and reduce costs, with a targeted rollback of the Flex server to v3 to preserve broader availability. These changes improve update cadence, reduce production risk, and deliver more stable, cost-efficient infrastructure.
