December 2024 monthly summary for the Percona Server MongoDB Operator focused on packaging and CSV improvements to enhance install reliability, upgrade safety, and onboarding through Operator Lifecycle Manager (OLM).

November 2024 monthly performance summary highlighting delivery across Jenkins pipelines, Kubernetes operators, and CI/CD tooling. Focus on business value: automated cloud cleanup reduces cost and drift; security hardening reduces risk; CI/CD stability improved through vulnerability scanning updates and robust defaults in CRDs; operator reliability improved through tooling maintenance.

October 2024 monthly summary for Percona-Lab/jenkins-pipelines: Delivered automated resource hygiene enhancement by implementing CleanOrphanedNEG to remove orphaned Network Endpoint Groups (NEGs) in GCP. The change reduces cloud resource waste and lowers risk of misconfiguration by ensuring NEGs are only attached to active backends. The feature was implemented as a dedicated CleanOrphanedNEG function that scans all NEGs in a project and deletes those not attached to any backend service, with one associated commit tied to this work.
