Worked on the hortonworks/cloudbreak-images repository to deliver enterprise-focused infrastructure automation features over five months. Developed Active Directory integration, Kerberos support, and FreeIPA AD Trust capabilities, enabling secure, automated image creation and cross-forest authentication. Upgraded FreeIPA images with TLS-enabled LDAP agents and improved deployment hygiene by removing outdated SELinux scripts and updating RPM references. Leveraged SaltStack, bash scripting, and YAML to automate packaging, configuration, and build processes, reducing manual steps and technical debt. The work emphasized reproducibility, security, and maintainability, resulting in more reliable deployments and streamlined enterprise provisioning workflows across Linux environments without introducing new bugs during the period.
