PROFILE
Christopher Tate
Over nine months, Computate contributed to the OCP-on-NERC/nerc-ocp-config repository, building and refining cloud-native infrastructure for AI telemetry, observability, and secure access control. Computate engineered Kubernetes-based solutions for GPU management, cluster upgrades, and multi-environment Keycloak deployments, leveraging YAML and Kustomize for infrastructure as code. Their work included modernizing observability stacks with Prometheus and OpenTelemetry, integrating SNMP-based network and PDU monitoring, and deploying operator-driven services like Zookeeper and Solr. By focusing on RBAC, containerization, and configuration management, Computate delivered scalable, maintainable systems that improved monitoring fidelity, deployment consistency, and operational security across complex OpenShift and cloud environments.

Aug 1, 2025Monthly summary for 2025-08 focused on delivering a streamlined, secure, and observable OCP/NERC configuration. Key outcomes include: - Observability and Logging Stack Modernization: Overhauled the ACM Observability stack, reorganized components, introduced dedicated resources for ExternalSecrets and MultiClusterObservability, and upgraded the OpenShift Logging/Loki stack with a new Observability Operator and UI plugin, removing Elasticsearch/Jaeger to simplify monitoring and reduce maintenance. - Environment-specific Keycloak Deployments: Isolated Keycloak deployments per environment by moving configuration to a base and creating per-environment overlays, enabling distinct client IDs, secrets, and permissions for moc, innabox-dev, and open-sovereign-ai-cloud. - OpenShift Cluster Upgrade Path with Operator/Channel Updates: Executed a multi-version upgrade trajectory for the OBS cluster across OpenShift versions, updating the cluster version and logging operators, aligning operator channels, and driving security and performance improvements. - AI Telemetry Deployment on obs Cluster: Deployed AI Telemetry services on the obs cluster, including deployments, services, external secrets, routes, and namespaces for site and worker components. Major bugs fixed and stability improvements: - Cleanup ACM Observability for infra and hypershift2 (commit #731) to address drift and maintenance overhead. - Stabilized upgrade process by aligning operator channels during the OBS upgrades, reducing risk and downtime. Overall impact and business value: - Accelerated incident detection and response through modernized observability, log management, and visibility. - Safer, more isolated environments for Keycloak configurations, reducing blast radius and configuration drift across moc/innabox-dev/open-sovereign-ai-cloud. - Smoother upgrade path with reduced risk, ensuring security and performance improvements across OpenShift versions. - Enabled data-driven AI Telemetry capabilities on the cluster, supporting site and worker workloads with better operational visibility. Technologies and skills demonstrated: - OpenShift / OBS upgrade orchestration and operator/channel management - Loki/Logging modernization, Observability Operator, and UI plugin integration - ExternalSecrets, per-environment overlays, and Keycloak deployment strategies - Per-environment resource isolation, multi-cluster observability concepts - AI Telemetry deployment patterns on Kubernetes-based clusters
