February 2025: Strengthened WordPress deployment resilience and enhanced observability in the epfl-si/wp-ops namespace. Delivered high-availability WP-Nginx deployment with 2 replicas, cross-node anti-affinity, cross-zone distribution, and a PodDisruptionBudget to tolerate disruptions. Implemented a comprehensive internal alerting system with Telegram integration, environment-based routing, and targeted alerts for NGINX, PHP duration, and MariaDB restarts, complemented by Grafana dashboard corrections for actionable visibility. These changes reduce outage risk, improve MTTR, and provide clearer signals for proactive maintenance; demonstrated Kubernetes best practices, cloud-native monitoring, and cross-functional collaboration.

December 2024, epfl-si/wp-ops: Delivered deployment tooling and image management consolidation by reintroducing ImageStreams (Python, OPM, and ose-operator-registry-rhel9) and removing explicit image references from the isas-fsd-catalog Build Config. Deprecated the ocp4 Ansible role and ocp4_test inventory mode to streamline builds and reduce maintenance. Per reviews, completed refactor work removing an extra ocp4 role and unrelated WPSible changes. This work stabilizes the deployment pipeline, reduces image drift, and improves maintainability. No explicit bug fixes were recorded in the provided data set; focus on reliability and ensuring consistent environments.
