2025-09 Monthly Summary: Focused on stabilizing deployment workflows and expanding observability across compliantkubernetes-apps and compliantkubernetes-kubespray. Delivered two bug fixes in elastisys/compliantkubernetes-apps to tighten validation for Calico network plugin configuration and to preserve hierarchical structure during Velero restores, reducing misconfigurations and data loss risk. Enabled default ServiceMonitors for Cilium-related monitoring in elastisys/compliantkubernetes-kubespray, improving automatic metric discovery and Prometheus scraping for cluster components. These efforts enhanced reliability, reduced manual troubleshooting, and provided a consistent baseline for scaling across environments. Technologies involved include Kubernetes, Calico, Velero, Cilium, Prometheus, and Kubespray.

Monthly summary for 2025-08 for elastisys/compliantkubernetes-apps: Implemented resource restore order for Velero backups by adding restoreResourcePriorities to common-config.yaml and wc-config.yaml, enabling dependency-aware restoration and more reliable disaster recovery. The change was implemented in elastisys/compliantkubernetes-apps (commit 7d855f6013f6a282e2fd16850fa6ddba8bd12a8d).

July 2025 monthly summary: Across elastisys/compliantkubernetes-apps, elastisys/welkin, and elastisys/compliantkubernetes-kubespray, delivered key features, fixed critical audits, and improved CI/test reliability. Key business value: more reliable policy enforcement tests, better metadata provenance for container images and Helm charts, and correct auditing for the Valkey component, reducing misconfigurations and governance risk. Technical highlights include improvements to end-to-end tests, image source labeling, and audit policy updates that align with renames and namespace changes.

June 2025 monthly summary focusing on key accomplishments for elastisys/compliantkubernetes-apps.
