January 2026 was a productive period delivering cross-repo Everest ecosystem improvements across documentation, deployment, and versioning. Highlights include release notes for Everest 1.11.0, standardized deployment images with telemetry in Helm charts, improved cluster service exposure, documented PostgreSQL backup limitations, and major Everest releases 1.12.0 and 1.13.0 (including 1.13.0-rc1 metadata). These efforts improved user onboarding, deployment consistency, and product readiness, with strong emphasis on documentation quality, release engineering, and telemetry-driven insights.

September 2025 monthly summary for Percona-Lab/percona-version-service. Delivered an Everest CLI compatibility update to 1.9.0 to ensure compatibility with the latest Everest release. Updated the metadata to require Everest 1.9.0 while keeping Kubernetes version requirements unchanged. This minimizes upgrade risk and supports smoother deployments for customers relying on Everest integration.

January 2025 monthly summary for percona/percona-helm-charts. Focused on stabilizing deployments by rolling back an advanced pod scheduling feature and removing Kubernetes affinity directives from charts. The revert ensures compatibility with standard Kubernetes clusters, reduces configuration complexity, and lowers risk in production deployments.
