February 2026 monthly summary for eu-nebulous/helm-charts focusing on InfluxDB deployment stability and release readiness. Delivered deployment reliability improvements by configuring a fixed port and nodePort for the InfluxDB service and released Helm chart version 0.1.1. This work enhances monitoring reliability, reduces environment-specific access issues, and supports smoother deployments.

January 2026: Delivered a set of Helm chart updates to improve deployment flexibility, reliability, and security for eu-nebulous/helm-charts. Implemented environment variable-based configuration for critical components (Brokerage QA server, SLA generator, Resource Manager, and Nebulous Optimiser Controller), and released updated chart versions with refined release metadata. Enhanced ActiveMQ integration by adding password support and simplifying secret handling for the optimiser solver. These changes enable more predictable QA/production builds, faster release cycles, and reduced deployment friction.

November 2025: Focused on improving Nebulous deployment configurability and reliability in eu-nebulous/helm-charts. Delivered two changes: (1) introduced a dedicated environment variable to specify the Nebulous script branch, enabling flexible deployment configurations, and (2) fixed an incorrect environment variable reference in the optimiser controller deployment to ensure reliable deployment. These changes reduce misconfig risk, support environment-specific deployments, and improve maintainability of deployment configurations.

August 2025 monthly summary: Reliability hardening and packaging updates for the InfluxDB Helm chart. Delivered a startup probe for InfluxDB to verify /ping on port 8086 with a 5s interval and 6-failure threshold to improve startup reliability; performed targeted testing by temporarily removing liveness and readiness probes; updated the Nebulous-InfluxDB Helm chart version from 0.2.1 to 0.2.2 to reflect the latest release and ensure accurate packaging. These changes lay groundwork for more robust deployments and smoother rollouts.

July 2025 performance summary: Implemented resource hardening for the Nebulous Cloud Fog Service Broker by increasing CPU and memory limits/requests in the Helm chart and incrementing the chart version to reflect the change (commit 2835d903dbd84be741b296542f933dc0625ad5c2). This improves reliability under load and enhances capacity planning. No major bug fixes were required this month; maintenance focused on stability and deployment predictability.

June 2025 monthly summary for eu-nebulous/helm-charts: Delivered reliability improvements for SAL image deployment and consolidated changes to mitigate external JRE dependencies. Implemented a custom SAL image and ensured image freshness, with explicit chart version updates to reflect changes. The work reduces deployment failures on cloud nodes and improves maintainability through versioned releases and clearer rollback points.

May 2025 monthly summary for eu-nebulous/helm-charts: Delivered major Helm chart enhancements across ActiveMQ, InfluxDB integration, and SAL deployment. Implemented configurable NodePort for ActiveMQ, introduced a secure InfluxDB chart with auth, and simplified SAL deployment with a version bump, aligning with platform standards. These changes improve external exposure flexibility, security, and maintainability, enabling faster, more reliable deployments across app clusters.

April 2025 monthly summary for eu-nebulous/helm-charts focused on stability, configurability, and maintainability. Delivered two major feature lines: (1) ActiveMQ deployment stabilization and exposure improvements, and (2) Optimiser utility evaluator and Monitoring Helm chart enhancements. These workstreams jointly reduce operational risk, accelerate deployments, and improve configuration hygiene across messaging and evaluation pipelines.

March 2025 monthly summary for eu-nebulous/helm-charts: Delivered environment-aware deployment enhancements, stable release hygiene, and a critical bug fix that improves Kubernetes parsing reliability. Focused on business value, reproducibility, and maintainability of the Nebulous-SAL deployment in Helm.
