Worked on upgrading Kubernetes to version 1.34 across all configurations and tests within the sassoftware/viya4-iac-azure repository, focusing on enhancing stability and future readiness for Azure-based VIYA4 deployments. The approach involved updating Dockerfile and YAML configuration files, leveraging skills in Kubernetes version management, Terraform, and containerization. Emphasis was placed on validating compatibility across diverse environments to minimize upgrade risks and ensure smooth adoption of new Kubernetes features. Maintained a PR-driven workflow with clear change traceability, updating infrastructure-as-code checkpoints and test coverage to align with the latest Kubernetes capabilities, thereby reducing future maintenance overhead and supporting ongoing DevOps practices.
