May 2026: Delivered deployment reliability enhancements for fbicyber/opencti__opencti by integrating an automatic restart of XTM Composer and related OpenCTI services during rolling updates. This ensures the latest image is active post-deploy, reduces downtime, and minimizes manual intervention during upgrades. Commit: fe25d5c6b5f7ba20efd19dc9ab68edab03c7a8bc ("[ci] Add restart of XTM Composer when deploying new rolling (#16174)").

April 2026 monthly summary for fbicyber/opencti__opencti. Focused on automating CI/CD deployment for the master-ff branch, streamlining pre-release steps, and improving xtm testing deployments with new templates and inventory settings. These changes reduce manual toil, enhance deployment reliability, and enable faster, safer product releases across the repository.

2026-03 Monthly work summary focusing on key accomplishments, major features delivered, bugs fixed, and overall impact across two repositories: fbicyber/opencti__opencti and OpenCTI-Platform/connectors. Key features delivered include CI improvements to Docker image tagging based on semantic versioning, preventing non-release Docker tags from being pushed as 'latest' and aligning releases with semantic versions. LTS release handling and tag validation were enhanced, including version interpretation, tag formatting, and release-trigger logic to better support the LTS lifecycle. A mechanism was added to retrieve and inject the Enterprise Edition license into docker-compose environments within CI, enhancing license compliance. Additionally, LTS tag format standardization was implemented for the connectors repository to ensure consistency across releases. Major bugs fixed include adjustments to release triggering and tag parsing logic, improved regex handling for LTS, and robustness of license provisioning in CI. Overall, these changes improve release reliability, reduce the risk of improper image deployment, ensure license compliance, and drive cross-repo consistency. Technologies and skills demonstrated include CI/CD orchestration with CircleCI, semantic versioning, Docker tagging, regex-based release checks, LTS lifecycle management, and cross-repo standardization.

February 2026 monthly summary: Delivered improvements in CI/CD and deployment targeting across two repositories, directly enabling faster feedback and safer customer testing. Migrated the CI pipeline from Drone to GitHub Actions with standardized action naming for fbicyber/opencti__opencti, improving build clarity and maintainability. Updated Kubernetes deployment namespaces to include '-octi' for dev/testing environments in OpenCTI, ensuring correct deployment targeting and isolation.

January 2026 focused on strengthening deployment reliability for forks by implementing automated Enterprise Edition license retrieval in CI/CD for the fbicyber/opencti__opencti repo. This included updating CI workflows to fetch licenses from a remote source, enabling forks to deploy with enterprise licenses with minimal manual intervention, and validating end-to-end deployment paths to ensure pipeline compatibility. No major bugs were reported this month. Overall impact includes reduced deployment friction, improved license compliance, and clearer upgrade paths for forked deployments.

December 2025 monthly summary for repository fbicyber/opencti__opencti focused on CI/CD workflow enhancements for PR testing and Docker builds. Implemented a cohesive set of CI improvements to improve PR validation, branch-specific testing, manifest-based build reliability, selective service startup for integration tests, and optimized Docker build/publish for feature branches. The work enhances release velocity and reduces risk by catching integration issues early in pull requests and ensuring builds reflect branch-specific configurations.

November 2025 focused on stabilizing OpenCTI release pipelines and build tooling for fbicyber/opencti__opencti. Delivered key CI/CD improvements, Docker build optimizations, and a critical bug fix to PyPI authentication in the client-python build. The changes collectively improve release cadence, build reliability, and security of packaging, while enabling faster feedback to stakeholders and smoother onboarding for new contributors.

October 2025 monthly summary for OpenCTI-Platform/opencti focusing on deployment workflow improvements and feature-branch CI/CD. Delivered a streamlined, secure deployment pipeline by moving feature-branch deployments from a GitHub Action to a direct AWX CLI workflow, introducing environment-variable-driven handling for sensitive data, an AWX CLI installation path, and a dedicated Dockerfile for feature-branch builds. These changes provide greater deployment granularity, reduce external dependencies, and improve reproducibility across environments.

September 2025 -- OpenCTI CI/CD pipeline modernization and maintenance for OpenCTI-Platform/opencti. Focused on simplifying configuration, boosting reliability, and reducing maintenance toil. No major bugs fixed this month; stability improvements were achieved through pipeline changes. Delivered changes include removing explicit drone runner selection in .drone.yml and upgrading the Minio CI image to RELEASE.2025-06-13T11-33-47Z, with related commits to implement these improvements.

Month: 2025-08 — Performance highlights across two repositories focused on reliability, observability, and CI/CD quality. Delivered Kubernetes-based CI/CD enhancements, Kibana observability integration, and a CI/CD workflow correctness fix. The work reduced deployment risk, accelerated feedback loops, and improved operational visibility, supporting faster releases and better incident response.

July 2025 – OpenCTI Platform: Delivered CI/CD Deployment Automation for PIR Test Environment. Implemented a new CircleCI deploy_pir job and integrated it into the existing pre-release workflow to automatically deploy to the PIR test instance alongside builds. Change anchored by commit 853dd9797cb5b7a71e6055fdfe893f3934cf3c40, reducing manual steps and increasing testing reliability for PIR deployments.

June 2025 — OpenCTI Platform: Key achievements include fixing prerelease deployment namespace correctness on AWS and enhancing CI observability by showing the Drone runner name. These changes improved release reliability, reduced downtime, and accelerated prerelease feedback loops.
