March 2026 monthly summary for zalando-incubator/kubernetes-on-aws. Key feature delivered: Zone-Aware Routing for Skipper Ingress Canary. This feature enables routing decisions based on the Kubernetes node's zone by updating the skipper-ingress-canary deployment/config to utilize the node zone label for routing, enabling safer and more efficient canary rollouts across clusters. Major bugs fixed: No major bugs reported for this repository this month. Overall impact and accomplishments: Strengthened reliability and performance of multi-zone deployments by routing canaries within the same zone, reducing cross-zone latency and potential blast radius. The work also simplifies operational rollout with a config-driven approach across clusters, improving consistency and observability for zone-aware traffic routing. Technologies/skills demonstrated: Kubernetes deployment/config management, Skipper Ingress, zone-based routing, multi-cluster orchestration, Git commit discipline and sign-offs.
