Month: 2025-04 Key features delivered: - Image Autobumper Enhancements: auto-fork creation when missing; expanded supported file types to YAML and Terraform (.tf, .tfvars); and updates to CI triggers to run autobumper on image build changes. - Cloud Run Error Alerting: added monitoring alert policies, notifications, and log/view links with rate limiting for service-account-keys-rotator and signify-secret-rotator. Major bugs fixed: - Autobumper: improved error handling to automatically create forks when GitHub returns NotFound; adjusted error logic and tests. - Autobumper triggers for image builds: corrected trigger logic to reliably run on image build changes. Overall impact and accomplishments: - Increased automation reliability for image bumps, reducing manual maintenance and downtime. - Enhanced observability and incident response for Cloud Run components, enabling faster detection and remediation. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - GitHub automation and CI/CD, Terraform and YAML for infrastructure as code, Cloud Run monitoring and alerting, test coverage improvements, and incident response readiness.

January 2025 monthly summary for kyma-project/test-infra: Delivered two core improvements to stabilize the test infrastructure and streamline image updates. Implemented automatic detection of Terraform configuration files (.tf and .tfvars) in the image-autobumper, removing the need for explicit file lists and enabling scalable image updates across Terraform projects. Fixed a Python agent dependency handling issue by disabling the Poetry pre-step, preventing failures and unnecessary dependency resolution work. These changes improve CI reliability, shorten release cycles, and reduce manual maintenance for infrastructure configurations.
