Worked on the openstack-k8s-operators/test-operator repository to resolve a critical issue affecting Tempest’s privileged mode functionality. Addressed a bug where Tempest PodCapabilities were incorrectly set as an empty slice, which prevented privileged: true from enabling necessary network operations. By adding the NET_ADMIN and NET_RAW Linux capabilities, restored proper network administration and raw socket access for Tempest, ensuring reliable end-to-end network test coverage. This fix brought Tempest’s configuration in line with other test frameworks such as AnsibleTest and Tobiko, improving CI consistency. Utilized Go, Kubernetes, and DevOps practices to deliver a targeted, high-impact solution within the project’s codebase.
