July 2025: Focused on stabilizing SecHub deployment, improving maintainability, and strengthening compliance. Delivered a comprehensive Load Balancer deployment overhaul with centralized Helm-chart configuration for the SecHub server and web UI, along with external lbtype labeling, updated service selectors and port mappings, and URL generation support for server and web UI. Fixed LB IP detection reliability in Kubernetes to gracefully handle delayed IP assignments and keep deployment flow intact. Standardized Helm environment variables for S3 storage and SMTP (PDS_STORAGE_S3_REGION and PDS_STORAGE_S3_ prefix), updating run.sh and initialization accordingly. Strengthened documentation and licensing compliance with SPDX headers and release artifacts across docs, Java files, and API clients. These changes collectively improve deployment reliability, environment consistency, security posture, and time-to-value for customers.
