PROFILE

Rob Salmond

Worked on documentation and installation improvements across the istio/istio, istio/api, and envoyproxy/envoy repositories, focusing on user guidance and onboarding. Enhanced installation reliability for Istio by updating the README to discourage source chart usage and clarify Helm-based installation, leveraging skills in Helm, Kubernetes, and Markdown. Improved API documentation by adding navigation anchors and updating deprecation guidance, streamlining the transition from annotation to label for sidecar injection. In envoyproxy/envoy, corrected the CEL Sampler configuration documentation title to better reflect its purpose. These changes reduced misconfigurations, improved discoverability, and lowered support overhead, emphasizing maintainable documentation and clear configuration management practices.
