Worked on the instana-agent-operator repository to enhance the reliability of remote agent health checks within Kubernetes environments. Addressed a persistent restart-loop issue by replacing the container’s HTTP GET liveness probe with an exec-based probe that runs curl inside the container, enabling more accurate in-container diagnostics. This targeted bug fix reduced false positives and minimized unnecessary restarts, leading to improved agent uptime and more stable telemetry across deployments. Demonstrated skills in Go, DevOps, and Kubernetes operator development, with careful attention to probe strategy design, regression risk, and code review. The work focused on operational stability rather than feature expansion during this period.
