March 2026: Focused on reliability improvements for cluster lifecycle management in rancher/cluster-api-provider-rke2. Delivered a targeted bug fix to lifecycle hooks that prevents pre-terminate from executing during pre-drain, clarifies the conditions for hook execution, and enhances stability of the control plane during maintenance windows. This work reduces the risk of unintended terminations and supports smoother upgrades and maintenance activities. Technologies demonstrated include Kubernetes lifecycle hooks, Go-based provider code, and Git-based change management.
