Jan 1, 2026January 2026 monthly summary for canonical/lxd focusing on security, auth UX, and test reliability. Delivered significant authentication and UI workflow improvements and strengthened test infrastructure. Key security feature: embed server certificate fingerprint into client bearer tokens and extend client JWT claims to include the fingerprint, enabling server-cert verification to enhance trust in API calls. Improved concurrency and resource handling: Ceph storage driver now returns a Locked status when a resource or device is busy, reducing race conditions. Consistency and UX: renamed devlxd bearer token for coherence across components and implemented robust bearer token extraction from both query parameters and cookies to support cookie-based authentication, logout, and UI redirects. UI access and test alignment: introduced end-to-end temporary UI access link generation and expanded tests and docs to reflect the new flow. Technology and skills demonstrated: Go, JWT and token handling, X.509 certificate utilities, testing strategies, and test infrastructure improvements.

Nov 1, 2025November 2025 monthly summary for canonical/lxd: Delivered a robust operation-based volume lifecycle across LXD, DevLXD, and client layers, with volume creation returning an operation and waiting for completion. Implemented async deletion for storage volumes and introduced the VolumeUpdate operation to enable non-blocking updates. Standardized operation handling via the DevLXDOperation interface and response helper, and expanded the API surface through the storage_and_profile_operations extension, including volume snapshots. Introduced no-op operations to represent synchronous endpoints, refined error reporting, and updated REST/CSI docs and i18n assets. Result: faster, more reliable workflows, easier automation, and stronger cross-component consistency while maintaining backward compatibility and improved test coverage.
