Worked on the googlecloudplatform/kubernetes-engine-samples repository to update the helloweb Kubernetes service, focusing on aligning with Google Kubernetes Engine best practices. The work involved replacing the deprecated loadBalancerIP field with the recommended static IP annotation in the service’s YAML configuration. This change ensures stable static IP assignments across Kubernetes versions and enhances compatibility with newer GKE releases, reducing upgrade risks for downstream users. The update was implemented using YAML and leveraged skills in cloud infrastructure, GKE, and Kubernetes. All changes were linked to relevant issues and commits for traceability, reflecting a careful and standards-driven approach to infrastructure maintenance.
