Feb 1, 2026February 2026 monthly summary — NVIDIA/doca-platform Key features delivered: - DPUService manifest generation refactor: generalized per-cluster manifests to support new DPU services without duplicating core logic, improving maintainability and scalability of service management. - Kamaji-etcd-defrag deployment namespace support: added a Helm value to configure the namespace for kamaji-etcd-defrag jobs, increasing deployment flexibility. - Preserve working directory across dpfdev commands: maintains the working directory across command executions, improving user experience and command flow. - Show standalone BFBs in dpfctl output: enables display of standalone BFBs in dpfctl output, improving visibility and management irrespective of DPUSets. - Docker build process improvements: organizes docker build artifacts into a dedicated directory and tightens Makefile logging control for clarity and maintainability. Major bugs fixed: - No major bugs recorded in this dataset for February 2026. Overall impact and accomplishments: - Strengthened platform maintainability and scalability, enabling faster onboarding of new DPU services and more flexible deployments. - Improved operational visibility and UX, reducing friction in daily workflows. - Streamlined build artifacts and logging, supporting more reliable CI/CD and debugging. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - Kubernetes, Helm, DPUService manifests, DPUSets, Kamaji ETCD defrag, dpfdev, dpfctl, Docker, Makefiles. - Per-cluster templating, artifact management, and enhanced CLI UX.
