During April 2025, Max Neug built a new ingress class name configuration for the cockroachdb/helm-charts repository, enabling users to specify the Kubernetes ingress class directly through Helm values. This update replaced the previous reliance on custom ingress annotations, streamlining configuration and aligning the deployment process with Kubernetes best practices. Max implemented the feature using YAML and Helm, focusing on a targeted, low-risk change that improved flexibility and modernized ingress management. No major bugs were reported during this period, reflecting a focused and stable delivery. The work deepened the repository’s cloud-native capabilities and set a foundation for future ingress enhancements.
