Poonam Sharma contributed to the red-hat-storage/ocs-ci repository by developing and enhancing features focused on reliability, observability, and data integrity in cloud-native environments. She implemented on-demand backup and recovery validation for NooBaa databases, enabling robust disaster recovery workflows. Poonam also delivered centralized logging for OpenShift by deploying the Lokistack Operator, improving CI pipeline observability. Her work included refining test automation for NooBaa and strengthening Ceph monitor recovery detection by validating pod status, which reduced false negatives in CI. Throughout, she applied Python, Kubernetes, and DevOps practices, demonstrating depth in backend development, system testing, and cloud storage management within complex CI/CD workflows.

February 2026 monthly summary for red-hat-storage/ocs-ci: Focused on reliability improvements in the Ceph monitor recovery path within the CI workflow. Implemented a detection change that verifies monitor pod status instead of operator logs, significantly increasing quorum-loss detection reliability and reducing CI false negatives. The change strengthens CI stability, accelerates feedback, and supports more reliable release validation.
