Concise monthly summary for 2026-03 focusing on business value and technical achievements across the three repos: cloudogu/k8s-dogu-operator, cloudogu/k8s-ces-control, and cloudogu/usermgt. Key features delivered include timezone/localtime volume mount enhancements in the k8s-dogu-operator to improve time consistency across deployments, removal of the monitoring stack in k8s-ces-control to reduce complexity, and cookie-based session handling plus version/release note updates in usermgt. Major bug fixes address the rollback of timezone/volume changes where issues occurred and a security fix for the gRPC health probe in the Ces-Control stack. Additional improvements include dependency updates for Go modules and targeted log readability improvements in LokiLogProvider. The releases were accompanied by changelog updates across affected repos to ensure traceability and smooth deployment upgrades.
