Rafael Garcia worked on the 6G-SANDBOX/6G-Library repository, focusing on infrastructure reliability, deployment reproducibility, and documentation quality. He stabilized VM provisioning by updating Terraform and Jinja2 templates, ensuring deterministic collector VM configurations and reducing misconfiguration risk. Rafael enhanced deployment consistency by pinning Docker image tags and improved onboarding through comprehensive documentation updates, including architecture overviews and configuration guidance. His work emphasized Infrastructure as Code, DevOps, and technical writing, using languages such as Terraform, YAML, and Markdown. Across four months, Rafael delivered features and fixes that reduced support overhead, improved maintainability, and accelerated integration for P4-based components and test environments.

June 2025 monthly summary for 6G-Library (6G-SANDBOX). Focused on delivering targeted documentation enhancements for P4-based components to improve user clarity, onboarding, and deployment readiness. Key updates include architecture, deployment requirements, dependencies, and configuration variable documentation for UPF-P4 SW and INT_P4_SW, along with alignment of public.yaml/README descriptions and cleanup of outdated references. No major bugs were fixed this month; emphasis was on documentation quality, maintainability, and developer experience to reduce support overhead and accelerate integration.

March 2025 monthly summary for 6G-Library (6G-SANDBOX). Delivered INT P4 Release 1.1.0 with a focus on deployment reproducibility and developer documentation. Key changes include pinning Docker image tags (e.g., int-p4-controller-bmv2 to 2.0.0) to ensure deterministic deployments, and extensive documentation updates (sample_input_file.yaml, architecture overview, logging and monitoring sections, and debug-mode instructions) to improve clarity and reproducibility of the INT P4 switch setup. Release notes and changelog were consolidated, enhancing onboarding and maintainability. This work reduces deployment variance, accelerates adoption, and demonstrates strong release engineering and technical writing skills.

January 2025 monthly summary for 6G-Library infra work. Focused on stabilizing VM provisioning by updating the Collector VM template reference to reduce misconfiguration risk. Implemented a Terraform/Jinja2 template change to update template_id from 90 to 91, ensuring the collector instance uses the intended VM template. This improvement enhances deployment reliability, consistency across environments, and reduces support overhead. Change tracked with a single commit for clear traceability.

December 2024 (2024-12): Delivered deterministic VM template configuration for VM collector tests in the 6G-Library, stabilizing the test environment and enabling reliable CI runs. By updating the Terraform template to hardcode template ID 90 and commenting out the dynamic variable, the VM configuration is now reproducible across test executions. This change is associated with commit 9297722444bbcd25608660431b63869871302026 (Testing: Test Case 2), forming the baseline for future test scenarios and reducing test flakiness.
