March 2026: Delivered a security/compliance feature in VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaLogs by enabling publishing SPDX SBOM attestations for container images, strengthening artifact provenance, traceability, and governance in deployment pipelines. The feature integrates SPDX-compliant SBOM generation and attestation publishing with proper attribution, and establishes alignment with industry standards for auditing and compliance.

Feb 2026 monthly summary for VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics: Delivered end-to-end SBOM attestations for container images, enabling SPDX SBOM and provenance attestation during docker buildx builds. Implemented in publish-via-docker with BuildKit integration for Alpine and scratch variants, including enabling --sbom=true and --provenance=true. Added SBOM and provenance attestations in the build workflow, updated relevant docs, and performed end-to-end verification. Documentation improvements include a dedicated SBOM section in SECURITY.md, plus Release-Guide.md and changelog entry. Validated by pushing a test image to GHCR and confirming SBOM attestation via docker buildx imagetools inspect and Trivy scans (0 vulnerabilities). Related bug fix: issue #10473 addressed in this work.

January 2026: Focused stabilization and correctness for kubecost/cost-analyzer-helm-chart. Delivered a critical ArgoCD change-detection fix for PersistentVolumeClaim in StatefulSet within the Helm chart, reducing deployment churn and improving CI/CD reliability. The changes ensure the full API version and kind are included in the PV template so ArgoCD recognizes when there are no meaningful changes to the resource, preventing unnecessary redeployments.
