PROFILE

Chris Pebenito

Worked on the microsoft/azurelinux repository to enhance SELinux policy management and system reliability over a three-month period. Addressed critical issues by implementing targeted SELinux policy fixes, such as permitting tmpfs operations for cloud-utils-growpart and restoring the policy.kern file to resolve semanage failures. Delivered a feature to update SELinux policy rules, enabling gpg-agent to run within RPM scripts and improving package management workflows. Utilized C, Shell, and Specfile languages while applying expertise in build systems, Linux kernel, and SELinux policy management. The work focused on stabilizing deployments, reducing operational errors, and ensuring compliance across automated CI and release processes.
