Apathiya contributed to the sonic-net/sonic-mgmt repository by developing and enhancing platform test coverage for AMD DPU environments. Over three months, Apathiya implemented AMD DPU-specific parameters and checks, refined file handling in tech support tests, and introduced platform-aware skip logic to improve test reliability and reduce false failures. Using Python, YAML configuration, and automation practices, Apathiya delivered features such as Private Link Redirect for DASH, enabling port mapping and packet redirection with comprehensive validation and documentation. The work demonstrated depth in DevOps, network programming, and test automation, resulting in more accurate, maintainable, and robust testing for DPU-backed deployments.

February 2026 (Month: 2026-02) — Sonic-Mgmt focused on enhancing test coverage accuracy and CI reliability by implementing platform-aware skip logic for AMD DPU PCIe tests. Specifically, a skip condition was added for test_pcied on AMD DPU platforms to account for PCIe bring-up sequence differences, preventing execution on unsupported platforms and improving overall test result accuracy. The change is recorded in sonic-net/sonic-mgmt as part of PR #22487, with commit 281801aad7a904f89ff23f882c7ae1ab6e44c893. Impact: reduced flaky test outcomes, faster feedback loops, and clearer platform behavior in CI. Technologies/skills demonstrated: Python-based test automation, platform-aware testing, CI reliability improvements, and collaborative code review.

December 2025 monthly summary for sonic-mgmt focused on AMD DPU coverage. Implemented AMD DPU platform test enhancements to sonic-mgmt by adding AMD-dpu-specific parameters (cpu, memory, ssdhealth), AMD DPU checks, and adjusted file handling in tech support tests, which improved compatibility and reduced false failures. Also realigned tech support/test coverage for AMD DPUs by updating relevant test cases and folders. To improve test stability, non-applicable tests (e.g., watchdog on AMD Elba DPUs) and related psustatus variants were skipped where unsupported. These changes completed across three commits, strengthening AMD DPU readiness and overall platform-test reliability.
