Ildar Minaev enhanced observability and security across Netcracker’s infrastructure by integrating Jaeger tracing and OpenTelemetry Collector into the qubership-jaeger and qubership-open-telemetry-collector repositories. He deployed Jaeger components using Helm charts with multi-backend support, established CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions, and provided detailed documentation in Markdown and YAML. Ildar also enabled full trace, metric, and log collection with OpenTelemetry, adding Sentry envelope support and span metrics processing. Additionally, he improved security by updating internal contact routing for code of conduct issues. His work demonstrated depth in Go development, Kubernetes, and infrastructure as code, resulting in more reliable deployments and observability.
