December 2025: Focused on expanding deployment configurability for the akeyless-gateway Helm chart in the akeylesslabs/helm-charts repository. Delivered flexible deployment customization by adding support for customizable annotations in the cache configuration and enabling more flexible container port settings, improving deployment configurability, consistency, and operator control. These changes were implemented through two commits: 640396cf7f597d2f899c301966607eeb583c41c6 (Support for customizable annotations in cache configuration, #343) and a126afde7bfd72210b255cf7d7993bea943a192c (Enhance deployment configuration for container port, #345). Impact: operators can tailor deployments to specific environments, reduce manual tweaks, and accelerate rollout of the gateway across clusters. No major bugs fixed this month; maintenance focused on feature improvements and code quality. Technologies demonstrated: Helm, Kubernetes deployment configuration, Helm chart templating, annotations handling, container port mappings.
