During January 2025, Philip Wu focused on decommissioning the PKO service from the management AKS deployment within the Azure/ARO-HCP repository. He updated the Makefile to disable PKO deployment, reducing the operational footprint and streamlining infrastructure management. By implementing a traceable, version-controlled change, Philip ensured that the removal process was both auditable and aligned with best practices in DevOps. His work emphasized safer, leaner deployment workflows and improved change management discipline. Although no bugs were fixed during this period, the targeted feature work demonstrated depth in infrastructure management and proficiency with Makefile and Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) environments.
