January 2025 (Month: 2025-01) – Summary focused on delivering scalable instrumentation governance, enterprise readiness, and robust developer experience for AvihuHenya/odigos. Key features include the introduction of a Source CRD to manage instrumentation at workload and namespace levels, migrating from the odigos-instrumentation label to Source CRD with supporting controllers, admission webhooks, and UI updates. Automation of CRD API documentation and formatting improvements reduce manual documentation effort and improve reference rendering. Documentation and tooling for end-to-end tests and CLI usage were enhanced to improve readability and maintain reliability. OpenShift compatibility was strengthened through RBAC adjustments and the introduction of UBI9-based images with SELinux considerations. Build, packaging, and infra were upgraded with UBI Dockerfiles, enhanced publish workflows, and updated OpenTelemetry dependencies. Together, these changes deliver policy-driven instrumentation at scale, reduce operational toil, improve deployment reliability, and broaden platform support, driving business value and developer productivity.

December 2024 monthly summary for AvihuHenya/odigos: Delivered two key features to improve operational efficiency and instrumentation scalability.
