Dec 1, 2024December 2024 monthly summary for project-koku/koku focused on delivering business-value through configuration-driven features, data accuracy improvements, and robust test stability. Key features were delivered with minimal disruption and reinforced by reliability improvements across the cost reporting pipeline and resource tagging logic. Highlights include: - XL Provider Classification: automatic categorization of large providers based on manifest report counts, with XL_REPORT_COUNT driving deployment configurations and queue management. - ARN Parsing Robustness and Logging: improved ARN validation by emitting warnings for invalid ARNs (instead of raising SyntaxError) and enhanced tests to verify warning messages, reducing crashes due to malformed ARNs. - SQL Query Accuracy for Cost Reporting: refined queries to exclude empty resource_id and persistentvolume values and ensure CSI volume handles are not empty, yielding more accurate OCP/AWS cost reporting. - OpenShift Tag Matching Normalization: case-insensitive tag comparisons for AWS/Azure OpenShift resources, improving resource identification accuracy. - Test Stability: Dynamic Date Range in Unit Tests: unit tests now derive start/end dates from the current day/month to avoid flakiness and improve reliability.
