March 2026: Telemetry Operator delivered TLS verification enhancements and region-aware configuration for the ceilometer compute agent in openstack-k8s-operators/telemetry-operator. Implemented CAFile and Region parameters in compute agent config generation to enable TLS verification and multi-region deployments, aligning with central agent settings and addressing Keystone SSL verification issues. The change, captured in commit 49b8c57a12b89a87865fb499be823c89b307572f, closes OSPRH-27068.

Concise monthly summary for 2026-01 focusing on the telemetry-operator repo (openstack-k8s-operators/telemetry-operator).

December 2025 monthly summary for the OpenStack Kubernetes Operators family. Delivered two high-impact enhancements that improve configuration reliability and observability, enabling clearer deployments and better resource insight across OpenStack deployments.

November 2025 monthly summary focused on delivering CloudKitty-enabled telemetry capabilities, stabilizing deployment configurations, and standardizing storage handling across telemetry components. Key outcomes include the introduction of CloudKitty deployment in the telemetry-operator, integration of CloudKitty as a core telemetry service in the openstack-operator, and a global storageClassName propagation enhancement for consistent PVC management. These efforts strengthen observability, security, and operational reliability while enabling scalable telemetry workloads in OpenStack on Kubernetes.

Month: 2025-10 — Key focus: deliver measurable improvements to OpenStack telemetry coverage through a targeted metric-polling enhancement in Ceilometer Central. Key feature delivered: add ip.floating to polling metrics to improve visibility of floating IP usage and OpenStack networking resources. No major bugs fixed this month. Impact: improved observability, faster diagnosis, and better capacity planning; contributes to more reliable dashboards and alerts. Technologies demonstrated: OpenStack Ceilometer, Kubernetes/OpenStack telemetry operator, metrics instrumentation, commit-based change management.

July 2025: Delivered a focused documentation update for the telemetry-operator to simplify and clarify the OpenStack operator scaling workflow. Replaced the previous approach of scaling via cluster service version (CSV) with direct deployment scaling. This improves usability, reduces operational risk, and aligns with Kubernetes-native practices. No bugs fixed this month; all changes are documentation-driven in the telemetry-operator repository.

Monthly summary for 2025-03 focusing on feature delivery and bug remediation in the openstack-operator repository. Primary work centered on Ceilometer-related components, with a targeted removal and cleanup to reduce maintenance burden and risk, while preserving system stability and clear release hygiene.

February 2025 monthly summary for the OpenStack Kubernetes Operators team. This period focused on reinforcing internal telemetry security, streamlining Prometheus exposure, and improving governance and maintainability across the telemetry stack and operator repositories. Key work combined feature delivery with targeted bug fixes to reduce exposure risk and enable secret-driven configurations while preparing the codebase for easier future extensions. Key accomplishments include delivering internalized Prometheus exposure, secret-driven autoscaling configuration, and maintenance improvements across the telemetry stack, complemented by an internal TLS alignment in the OpenStack operator.

January 2025 monthly summary for telemetry-operator in openstack-k8s-operators. Delivered security, reliability, and process improvements across metric collection, reverse-proxy handling, configuration standardization, and developer documentation. The work supports secure, predictable telemetry deployments in OpenStack environments and positions the team for streamlined onboarding and maintenance.

December 2024 monthly summary for the telemetry-operator workstream. Focused on core logging stack enhancements, access control, API alignment, and CI/CD compatibility to support OpenShift deployments. No major bugs reported this month; several quality/documentation improvements completed to reduce risk and improve maintainability.

November 2024 — Telemetry Operator (openstack-k8s-operators/telemetry-operator) monthly summary focused on upgrade stability and monitoring reliability. Delivered two targeted improvements that reduce operational risk and improve visibility: (1) Upgrade stability: made memcachedInstance optional to prevent upgrade failures when memcachedInstance is missing, enabling smoother upgrades. (2) Monitoring accuracy: configured node_exporter scrape targets to use FQDN instead of hostname, leveraging Ansible host vars for more reliable metrics collection.
