Gilberto Mautner enhanced the percona/percona-xtradb-cluster-operator by implementing security-focused backup and restore features using AWS STS temporary credentials. He introduced support for AWS_SESSION_TOKEN, enabling the operator to authenticate with IAM roles and temporary credentials by passing tokens to xbcloud through a new flag. This required updates to Go and YAML code, as well as modifications to shell scripts for compatibility. Gilberto ensured end-to-end token propagation across backup, restore, and PITR workflows, and reinforced reliability with targeted unit and end-to-end tests. His work improved security and flexibility for cloud-native backup management within Kubernetes environments, demonstrating strong depth in cloud automation.
In 2026-01, delivered security-enhanced backup/restore capabilities for the Percona XtraDB Cluster Operator by adding AWS STS Temporary Credentials support. Implemented by reading AWS_SESSION_TOKEN from the credentials secret and passing it to xbcloud via the new --s3-session-token flag, enabling authentication with IAM roles and temporary credentials. Extended token propagation to PITR collector and recoverer, and updated shell scripts for xbcloud compatibility to ensure end-to-end support. Strengthened automation and test coverage with a unit test for the session token and updated e2e test comparison files. Overall impact includes improved security, flexibility for temporary-credential workflows, and more robust backup/restore operations.
