Mari Krcmaric contributed to the openstack-k8s-operators/architecture repository by engineering scalable, isolated Data Center Network (DCN) multicell deployments within an OpenStack-Kubernetes operator framework. Mari implemented dedicated messaging and compute services per DCN site using YAML and Kustomize, improving fault isolation and resource management. The work included refactoring control plane configuration generation for modularity and enabling efficient edge deployments with lower resource footprints. Additionally, Mari addressed configuration drift by aligning cross-AZ attach settings between nova-api and nova-compute, ensuring consistent behavior during DCN scaling. These efforts demonstrated depth in cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes, and configuration management for complex multi-site environments.

May 2025 monthly summary for openstack-k8s-operators/architecture focusing on stabilizing cross-AZ attach behavior between nova-api and nova-compute, delivering a targeted configuration alignment and updating CI signals. Result: improved consistency for scale-down and DCN service configurations, reducing risk of data-plane drift during DCN scaling.

Month: 2024-11. Focused delivery: DCN multicell deployment isolation in the architecture repo, enabling scalable, isolated DCN sites within OpenStack-Kubernetes operator framework. Implemented per-DCN-site dedicated messaging and compute services and updated routing for metadata services to their respective cells. This creates fault isolation, improved resource management, and clearer boundaries for multi-site deployments.
