Month: 2025-04 – edge-core/sonic-buildimage Key features delivered: - Dependency Update: Upgraded submodules sonic-swss and sonic-stp to the latest commits to ensure the build system uses current code (commit 369d43db99acd4184a37785e8b12e64d8c37b95d). - Service startup orchestration: Implemented event-driven startup for docker-stp via supervisord.conf. Adds: restart rsyslogd after config changes and gating for stpd/stpmgrd startup to wait for required states, improving reliability. Major bugs fixed: - Resolved startup reliability issues for docker-stp by introducing event-driven orchestration and state checks; reduced startup race conditions. - Ensured logging integrity by restarting rsyslogd after rate-limit configuration changes to prevent log gaps or stale logs. Overall impact and accomplishments: - Build environment remains in sync with upstream components, reducing drift and fragility. - Startup reliability improved, lowering deployment failures and increasing time-to-service. - Clear, maintainable changes with explicit commits enable faster on-boarding and audits. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - Submodule maintenance and git commit traceability. - Docker-stp and service orchestration. - Supervisord configuration and event-driven startup coordination. - Logging lifecycle management with rsyslog and config-driven reliability techniques.
