Mar 1, 2025March 2025: Focused on enhancing vSphere provider disk identity management to improve migration safety, traceability, and operational reliability. Implemented persistent tracking of disk UUIDs and serials, ensuring serial information is preserved across migrations when appropriate, and added safeguards for potential serial truncation. This work improves data integrity and auditability during VM migrations in Kubernetes vSphere workflows.

Jan 1, 2025January 2025 focused on stabilizing migration resource management in kubev2v/forklift by implementing a dedicated cleanup for active source connections in the Migration flow and plan controller. Introduced a new logout mechanism on the Migration struct and deferred cleanup during plan execution to guarantee connections are properly closed, reducing leaks and stale sessions. This feature improves reliability and resource control during migrations. Key commits implementing this work include 8e807b5d1c9c7a81f5f898930ffaed0b89466423 (Clean up some unused active source connections) and 2b1bd9dff42e847b60471f6550efd75307559564 (Move session cleanup down a level).
