2026-04 Monthly Summary — kubev2v/forklift Key features delivered: - AAP Token Read Restrictions and Hook Mutual Exclusion (MTV-3663): Restrict AAP token Secret reads to the plan namespace, enforce mutual exclusion between spec.aap and local image/playbook, update API/CRD documentation, and enhance related tests. This reduces security risk and configuration conflicts during AAP-driven deployments. Also included: AAP client timeout context, immediate first poll, and propagation of GetJobStatus errors; plan validation updated to require plan-namespace SA only when hooks run local pods. Major bugs fixed: - Code cleanup to satisfy CI lint: Removed unused hookLog and its import from hook tests, resolving golangci-lint unused checks and smoothing CI runs (commit 830532c9409a97f379f6eb6649ab60f15ac72f2d). Overall impact and accomplishments: - Strengthened security and reliability of forklift AAP workflows with clearer separation of concerns and safer token access. - Reduced CI noise and potential rollout blockers through code cleanups and lint fixes, enabling faster iteration. - Improved test coverage and stability for HookExecutionConfigValid and related AAP test scenarios, contributing to more predictable deployments. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - Go, Kubernetes controllers (API/CRD exposure and webhook/controller logic) - Test design and CI hygiene (expanded test coverage, test cleanup, lint awareness) - Structured logging and robust error propagation for long-running operations Top commit references: - MTV-3663: 3ee5fdb251dc449b21966a5da7007e9d4708418c - MTV-3663: 830532c9409a97f379f6eb6649ab60f15ac72f2d Notes: All changes are in repository kubev2v/forklift; no external dependencies introduced.

Monthly work summary for 2026-03 focusing on kubev2v/forklift. Implemented Ansible Automation Platform (AAP) integration for migration plans, enabling remote execution of migration jobs via AAP with enhanced configuration options. Added extensible Hook spec to support AAP details, token handling, and polling behavior. Implemented API-level validations and controller-level checks for Hook/Plan execution, with constraints for local hooks. Regenerated CRD, deepcopy, and operator manifests to align with new capabilities. This work standardizes remote migration automation, improves security and observability, and lays groundwork for scalable, automated migrations across environments.

January 2026 monthly summary for kubev2v/forklift: Delivered a Temporary Storage Enhancement for VM Migration and OVA Import workflows by adding fields for temporary storage class and size to VM conversion processes. Implemented a targeted manifest update via MTV-4337 to regenerate the kustomized manifests, ensuring deployment configs reflect the new fields. This work improves reliability and scalability for large VM migrations and OVA imports, with clear commit traceability for future maintenance.
