Mar 1, 2026March 2026: Stabilized dependency management for kubernetes/cloud-provider-vsphere by implementing Dependabot rules to prevent automatic k8s.io bumps. Master is protected from semver-minor/major bumps; release branches (1.35, 1.34, 1.33) ignore all k8s.io updates, aligning with Kubernetes patch schedules. This reduces release risk and manual maintenance, ensuring consistent, reproducible builds across environments. Change captured in commit 0f3b851cc9bc3d31a85ff1d135553e6ed7dc35fd.

Dec 1, 2025Monthly summary for 2025-12: Delivered Kubernetes 1.35.0 readiness and CPI ecosystem updates for kubernetes/cloud-provider-vsphere. Upgraded dependencies to v1.35.0 (rc and stable), aligned Cluster API and CPI versions to support end-to-end tests, updated CI and test configurations, and expanded end-to-end test logging to improve debuggability. Updated release documentation, CPI/test artifacts, and machine log collection in CI to streamline upgrades and troubleshooting. This work reduces upgrade risk for customers and improves observability across the CPI integration stack.

Jun 1, 2025June 2025 — kubernetes/cloud-provider-vsphere: Focused on reliability and compatibility improvements. No new features delivered this month. Major bug fix: Supervisor API Endpoint Resolution Robustness by using a Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) instead of a hard-coded IP to align with Nginx SNI Proxy configurations, improving robustness of supervisor endpoint communication. Commit f6ead93fdeadaca47e931aadf325b247320fd389 (Update Supervisor API calls to use FQDN). Overall impact: reduces endpoint resolution failures in diverse network environments, improving stability for cloud-provider interactions and simplifying proxy-based deployments. Technologies/skills demonstrated: DNS/FQDN-based addressing, API integration patterns, Kubernetes cloud-provider code changes, and network/proxy compatibility testing.
