May 2025 Monthly Summary for sapcc/nova: Implemented encrypted volumes support in the VMware driver, enabling encryption for root and VM volumes by honoring the 'crypto' property during VM reconfiguration. Includes live migration support for encrypted VMs and adjustments for cold resize/migrate operations. No major bugs reported this period. Overall impact: improved security posture for VMware deployments, enabling customers to meet encryption/compliance requirements with minimal downtime. Key commit: c25a710a9f6b7c69ed5e886d350dfae41fa6cae9.

April 2025: Shipped a critical bug fix in sapcc/nova to resolve VMware FCD volume attachment adapter_type. The fix derives the adapter type from the VM's root disk image metadata rather than deprecated Cinder connection info, ensuring the Kubernetes CSI driver attaches volumes to the correct adapter and preventing misattachment of subsequent volumes. This strengthens storage reliability for VMware-based deployments and dynamic provisioning workflows.

November 2024 (sapcc/nova): Delivered a focused VMware boot-device reliability improvement by refactoring volume attach/detach logic and enforcing deterministic device ordering. This enhances VM boot correctness, reduces OS boot failures, and strengthens maintenance reliability. The change is traceable to a specific commit and lays groundwork for further VMware device-handling improvements.
