Ryan Lieberman developed foundational Kubernetes automation for Splunk Enterprise within the mongodb-forks/community-operators repository, focusing on Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs) and CI/CD governance. Over three months, he engineered CRDs for Search Head Clusters, Standalone Deployments, ClusterManager, and ClusterMaster, enabling declarative lifecycle management and robust deployment of Splunk resources in Kubernetes. His work included comprehensive schema design for affinity, storage, and health probes, standardizing cluster management and improving operational reliability. Additionally, Ryan enhanced CI governance by updating YAML-based configuration to broaden reviewer oversight, streamlining collaboration and risk management for operator changes. His contributions demonstrated depth in Kubernetes, Operator SDK, and YAML.
