March 2026 focused on security hardening, TLS modernization, and configuration enhancements for the Trustyai service operator (red-hat-data-services/trustyai-service-operator). Key outcomes include comprehensive multi-tenant RBAC hardening for EvalHub endpoints and ConfigMap-driven policies, removal of kube-rbac-proxy in favor of direct TLS serving with HTTPS health checks, and expanded RBAC support for status-events. EvalHub configuration now supports collections with tenant-aware ConfigMap reconciliation, explicit database type enforcement, and new benchmarking coverage (AIME). Tenant-specific namespace RBAC provisioning and job resource management were hardened, including optional subject namespaces and namespace-qualified resource naming, with cleanup workflows for stale resources. Documentation updates (CLAUDE module) accompany these changes. Overall impact: stronger security, improved multi-tenant scalability, and more predictable deployment governance, enabling safer tenant onboarding and reliable operations.
