Worked on the xapi-project/xen-api repository to deliver VDI revert functionality, enabling virtual machine disk images to be reverted to previous states. Developed new revert_to and revert_from operations in OCaml, incorporating robust validation logic to enforce constraints such as handling live versus snapshot VDIs and clone-backed requirements. Enhanced backend reliability by updating operation validation and introducing comprehensive unit tests to cover both allowed and disallowed revert scenarios, including edge cases like attached snapshots and leaf VDIs. This work improved the maintainability and safety of VM revert workflows, leveraging skills in API design, backend development, and unit testing throughout the process.

September 2014 monthly summary for xapi-project/xen-api focusing on feature delivery and quality improvements. Implemented VDI revert functionality by adding revert_to and revert_from operations with validation and tests, and updated VDI operation validation logic to reflect new constraints. Added comprehensive unit tests to verify allowed/disallowed states (e.g., reverting to a snapshot, attached snapshots, and avoiding leaf VDIs). This work strengthens VM revert workflows, reduces risk of invalid reverts, and improves maintainability through test coverage.
