September 2025 monthly summary for acm-uic/IaC focusing on provisioning and lifecycle stability for the WiCys × LUG event. Implemented Terraform-based VM provisioning for 30 event VMs and stabilized lifecycle management by updating Kubernetes VM definitions to ignore disk attribute changes, reducing drift and improving reproducibility for event readiness.

June 2025 monthly summary for acm-uic/IaC. Delivered Helm-based ArgoCD management with ApplicationSet for Maid Cafe and aligned system projects across Maid Cafe and IoC automation, enabling scalable, policy-driven deployments. Implemented MetalLB with L2 mode and IPv6 support, including built-in FRR configuration, improving cluster networking reliability and SLA readiness. Expanded Kubernetes networking and storage capabilities with Gateway API CRDs and Cilium gateway, IPPool support for Cilium, Ceph CSI provisioning, and Ceph namespace labeling, enabling flexible, scalable storage for workloads. Enabled manual plan execution and governance refinements for IaC workflows. Fixed deployment reliability by removing Argo AppSet, reverting to standard ArgoCD deployment, and applying fixes to deployment manifests and namespace behavior. Introduced CI-friendly, testable IaC changes and improved observability of changes via clear commit references. Overall impact: more robust, scalable, and secure cluster operations with enhanced automation for Maid Cafe and IoC environments.

May 2025 — Delivered end-to-end Kubernetes cluster infrastructure for Maid Café (IaC) with Terraform-based provisioning, VM definitions, resource configurations, node lifecycle controls, and cluster expansion. Introduced PR-preview automation to support automated deployments and preview environments, and refined cluster boilerplate/configuration to standardize provisioning across environments. This work accelerates environment provisioning, improves deployment reliability, and enables faster testing feedback loops. Technologies demonstrated: Terraform, Kubernetes, IaC practices, automation workflows, and CI/CD integration. Note: No major bugs fixed this month; focus was on feature development and process automation.

November 2024 monthly summary for acm-uic/IaC focused on delivering upgraded infrastructure, automated deployment workflows, and security enhancements. Achievements include core upgrades aligned with latest guidance, reliable BMES site deployment with TLS and Argo CD, and streamlined redirect/infrastructure cleanup to support production readiness and SIG demonstrations.
