Worked on the nebius/soperator repository to enhance Kubernetes pod scheduling by extending the Helm chart with support for affinity and nodeSelector policies. This addition enabled more granular pod placement, allowing for improved resource utilization and better workload isolation within Kubernetes clusters. The technical approach involved customizing Helm charts using YAML to define scheduling policies, leveraging DevOps practices and Git-based change management for deployment automation. These enhancements provided more predictable deployments and facilitated easier capacity planning. No major bugs were addressed during this period, with the primary focus on feature development and refining Kubernetes scheduling capabilities through Helm and YAML configuration.
