March 2025 monthly summary for scaleway/terraform-provider-scaleway focusing on business value and technical accomplishments. Completed two high-impact deliverables that improve reliability and troubleshooting for Terraform provider users: 1) Kubernetes Private Network configuration handling fix: removed warnings for missing private networks, directly set the private network ID, and improved kubeconfig retrieval error handling to return diagnostics. This reduces noisy alerts and streamlines cluster provisioning in environments with private networks. 2) Deployment debugging guidance documentation (TF_LOG=DEBUG): added guidance to configure TF_LOG=DEBUG for deployment troubleshooting, enabling more detailed logs and faster root-cause analysis during deployments. Impact: Enhanced stability of Kubernetes private network setups, clearer error diagnostics, and faster incident resolution. These changes reduce operator toil, lower support costs, and improve user confidence when provisioning infrastructure with the provider. Key commits included: 06297dbec254b5856c9176544ff11cbaeb690cef; 214a74987bff7d468a6635774f0b3232c9016f54.

February 2025 monthly summary focused on delivering stability, scalable infrastructure provisioning, and clearer migration paths across Scaleway CLI and Terraform provider. The month emphasized upgrading core tooling, expanding image sourcing strategies, and strengthening CI/CD for reliable releases, while coordinating deprecations and documentation to reduce customer friction.

2025-01 Monthly Summary for scaleway-cli and Terraform provider Overview: Focused delivery on Block Storage UX improvements, SBS API adoption, and reliability across CLI, server, and IaC layers. Strong emphasis on reducing operational risk and enabling smoother automation for customers leveraging Block Storage and Kubernetes in the cloud. Key features delivered: - Block Storage Wait Commands for Volumes and Snapshots: added wait functionality and --wait during creation to streamline user experience and scripting (commits 93b5c429efe415fd0abb60fc4ffe7da1c35571d0; 080a371ad17df4bbac310e473b9c2871990b619b). - SBS Block Storage API integration and server updates: updated CLI and server workflows to support the new SBS API and to correctly classify SBS volumes during server updates (commits 9850cc4dd9495385942583deade53a51d7b4446b; 89df998c500309804d8d39ef672a84b6c81d1201). - Image deletion reliability with snapshots: ensured custom image deletion waits for referenced snapshots to become available for reliable deletions (commit 99a3559bc7e9a3d8374323b9c0170eb681c57777). - Test suite updates for SBS backups and permissions handling: refreshed cassettes and tests to cover SBS-related server backups and IP operation permissions scenarios (commits d03f82913bb9da6e32d15d8066d6ed50aa87f9a5; 9105d2905ebf1c3b215f4bb6a8c2c8c22cb4ba2d; 30c0b98d6b15c24bf5bc223de20981c9e09906ab). Terraform provider: - Kubernetes Cluster Description Handling Bug Fix: corrected handling of the description field during Kubernetes cluster updates; refactored update logic to use a new function for expanding string pointers and updated tests (commit 7c349688e8823708532cac3fedeb691cd3060e3f). Major bugs fixed: - Image deletion now waits for snapshot references, preventing unreliable deletes when snapshots are not yet available. - Tests updated to cover SBS backups and permissions edge cases, reducing false negatives and improving CI feedback. - Kubernetes cluster description update handling fixed in Terraform provider to prevent stale or incorrect descriptions. Overall impact and accomplishments: - Enhanced customer workflows via faster, more reliable block storage operations and server updates with SBS API support. - Improved reliability across deletion operations, backups, and IP-related permission paths. - Strengthened IaC reliability for Kubernetes clusters, reducing drift and misconfigurations. - Demonstrated end-to-end capabilities across CLI, server, and Terraform provider with a cohesive SBS API rollout. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - Block storage orchestration (volumes, snapshots) and wait semantics; CLI UX improvements. - SBS API integration and server-side workflow adjustments. - Rigorous test automation maintenance (cassettes, permissions, backups). - Terraform provider updates and Kubernetes cluster description handling; refactoring and test-driven improvements.

December 2024 performance snapshot for scaleway engineering across Terraform provider and Scaleway CLI. Delivered storage-backed capabilities, reinforced server lifecycle reliability, and advanced testing and documentation to reduce release risk. Business impact includes easier adoption of Storage Block Storage (SBS), safer server operations with robust deletion semantics, and improved testing coverage to support faster, safer releases.

Month: 2024-11. Highlights across Terraform provider Scaleway and Scaleway CLI focusing on SBS volumes integration, state stability, and backup handling. Key features delivered include switching to SBS API by default for block volumes in the Terraform provider (covering instance_server calls, private networks, and IPAM) with integration tests for provisioning a root volume from an SBS snapshot; server backup enhancements to correctly handle SBS volumes and differentiate SBS snapshot behavior; and a stability improvement by suppressing non-functional diffs for user_data.ssh-host-fingerprints to avoid unnecessary plan/apply churn. Major accomplishments include improved deployment reliability for SBS-backed storage, robust backup templates, and extended test coverage. Technologies demonstrated include Terraform provider development, SBS API integration, Go testing, and CLI enhancements.
