PROFILE
Lars Kellogg-stedman
Worked on the OCP-on-NERC/nerc-ocp-config repository, delivering features and fixes across Kubernetes infrastructure, configuration management, and DevOps automation. Over seven months, implemented infrastructure as code using YAML and Shell scripting to automate cluster bootstrapping, modernize networking, and enhance storage provisioning. Improved security and access control by designing RBAC policies and integrating Vault-based secret management, while also expanding SNMP-based network monitoring for better observability. Addressed post-upgrade access issues in ArgoCD and resolved configuration bugs to maintain deployment reliability. The work emphasized maintainability, upgrade readiness, and secure, scalable operations, leveraging Kustomize, Kubernetes configuration, and scripting for robust platform management.

May 1, 2025Monthly summary for May 2025 focused on delivering automation and configuration reliability improvements in the OCP-on-NERC project. Key features include cluster bootstrap automation to standardize Kubernetes cluster provisioning across staged steps, with user prompts to control progression. Major bug fix: virt bundle configuration corrections to operator subscription and operator group naming conventions, and relocation of certain resources to a test cluster overlay to enhance clarity and maintainability. These changes improve deployment speed, reduce manual steps, and enhance maintainability and testability of the OCP config.

Mar 1, 2025March 2025: Delivered SNMP Monitoring Enhancements for OCP-on-NERC/nerc-ocp-config, focusing on clarity, maintainability, and expanded observability. Consolidated SNMP generator configuration, standardized OID references, and added resource labels. Expanded monitoring with fan and power metrics for Dell and Cisco switches and integrated new MIBs for power supply and fan status. Removed unused FibreChannel metrics to streamline configuration and reduce noise. Result: improved reliability, faster issue detection, and better asset tracking with actionable metrics.

Feb 1, 2025February 2025 monthly summary for OCP-on-NERC/nerc-ocp-config. Key delivery: Implemented NERC Ops RBAC read access via a dedicated cluster role for operator resources, integrated into the nerc-ops-rbac bundle to enable monitoring and management of operators.coreos.com resources. This strengthens access control, improves security posture, and supports scalable operator management. No major bugs fixed in this period. The work demonstrates secure RBAC design, alignment with Kubernetes best practices, and provides a foundation for compliant operator workflows.

Dec 1, 2024December 2024: Delivered essential configuration enhancements in the OCP-on-NERC project to improve authentication, access control, and cross-version compatibility. Implemented a persistent long-lived service account token for the external-secrets-operator, enabling authentication on newer Kubernetes/OpenShift versions. Introduced a dedicated Kubernetes Secret YAML and Kustomize updates, extending the existing configuration. Added RBAC to grant cluster-read access to the nerc-test-people group via a ClusterRoleBinding, integrated into the nerc-ocp-test overlay. No major bugs fixed this month; primary focus was feature delivery, security hardening, and testability improvements. Overall impact includes improved upgrade readiness, safer access controls, and better visibility for test deployments, underpinned by Kubernetes RBAC, Kustomize, and secret management practices.
