Month: 2025-06 — This month focused on delivering safe testing capabilities for platform sidecars and improving deployment plan diffing to reduce risk and improve visibility. Key features include a Preview Tag opt-in for platform sidecars and enhancements to the Cloud Deploy Plan to show current values, add a Current value column, and integrate version information for security and collector sidecars, with refined static egress IP handling. All changes are backed by tests to verify updated diffing. Together, these improvements enable safer test rollouts, clearer deployment diffs, and stronger security posture in CI/CD.

April 2025 focused on strengthening GKE deployment reliability by introducing a configurable pod termination grace period. This enables operators to govern how long a pod can gracefully shut down during termination, reducing abrupt terminations during upgrades and scaling events and improving service stability in production. The work delivered a new termination-grace-period option for GKE deployments, updated the GKE manifest template and the build manifest function, with a safe default of 90 seconds when not explicitly provided. The change was implemented in extenda/actions and linked to commit 8b99ed1780cbb01a292d001e8c4192e5cce5f42a (feat(cloud-deploy): Add termination-grace-period setting for GKE (#1070)).
