Feb 1, 2025February 2025: Implemented a production-ready Cloudprober monitoring layer in the hpi-schul-cloud/infra-ansible-collections repo. Delivered Kubernetes deployment via Helm with namespace and secret setup to enable immediate observability and scalable rollout. Implemented configuration improvements including a configurable internet probe host, fixed case-sensitivity issues, and ensured consistent naming for Vmagent probes. Expanded Cloudprober coverage by adding health probes for Loki and Vmagent endpoints to enable end-to-end health visibility. All changes are traceable to DBP-1276 with explicit commits across four changesets. Result: faster fault detection, improved observability, and a solid foundation for proactive incident response and SRE reliability.
