Ankit Uniyal developed an automatic resource cleanup feature for the openstack-k8s-operators/openstack-operator repository, focusing on improving resource lifecycle management for the OpenStackControlPlane. Using Go, Kubernetes, and the Operator SDK, Ankit implemented logic to detect when Galera and RabbitMQ resources are no longer defined in user templates and to remove them from the custom resource, including associated certificate deletion. The solution included robust cleanup functions and comprehensive end-to-end tests to validate the new reconciliation path, reducing orphaned resources and certificate drift. This work enhanced operational safety and auditability during template-driven updates, demonstrating depth in cloud infrastructure automation.
