Worked on the openshift-service-mesh/sail-operator repository to implement a Docker multi-stage build, focusing on delivering smaller and more secure container images. Refactored the existing Dockerfile into a two-stage process, using a minimal UBI image for packaging and a scratch image for the final deployment. This approach reduced the image size and attack surface by removing unnecessary shells and components, improving both security and deployment efficiency. Leveraged skills in CI/CD, containerization, and Dockerfile best practices to enable faster container start times and more repeatable, OpenShift-ready builds, with all changes tracked in a dedicated feature commit for transparency and maintainability.
