Cordula Guder
Over three months, contributed to sapcc/nova by enhancing server deletion reliability and stabilizing quota test infrastructure. Developed a configuration option in Python to prevent premature server deletion when nova-compute is unavailable, aligning deletion workflows with volume management and improving data integrity. Introduced pre-resize validation to ensure attached volumes are in valid states before instance resizing, reducing risk of data corruption. Hardened forced delete operations to handle ComputeServiceUnavailable errors consistently. Improved quota test determinism by mocking database flavors and disabling cache, eliminating flaky CI behavior. Demonstrated strong backend development, error handling, and testing skills with a focus on operational resilience.

Feb 1, 2025February 2025 monthly performance summary for sapcc/nova focusing on reliability and operational robustness in instance lifecycle workflows. Delivered two critical fixes that directly improve data safety and operational resilience: a pre-resize validation layer to guard attached volumes before instance resize and a hardened forced delete path to gracefully handle ComputeServiceUnavailable when db-only delete is disabled. These changes reduce risk of data corruption during resize, provide clearer failure modes, and improve supportability and recovery in outage scenarios. The work strengthens service reliability, customer trust, and operational efficiency, while showcasing solid coding practices and traceability through well-formed commits.

Jan 1, 2025January 2025 (2025-01) delivered a robust server deletion safeguard for sapcc/nova by introducing a dedicated configuration option to control behavior when nova-compute is unavailable. The feature ensures that servers are not prematurely marked as deleted in the database, preventing volume detachment inconsistencies and reducing recovery effort in degraded conditions. The work enhances deletion robustness and aligns with reliability and data integrity objectives.
