Vic Van Steelant contributed to the WISVCH/gke-cluster repository by delivering four production-focused features over four months, emphasizing deployment reliability and configuration management. He enabled online gameplay and leaderboard functionality for the Annugame application, expanded persistent storage to support increased data needs, and updated transaction fee parameters for the Chpay service. His work centered on Kubernetes, YAML, and Infrastructure as Code, with careful attention to deployment configuration, health checks, and resource management. By focusing on configuration-driven changes and continuous deployment, Vic improved operational consistency and reduced environment drift, demonstrating a methodical approach to cloud infrastructure without introducing or fixing application bugs.

March 2025 monthly summary for WISVCH/gke-cluster. Focused on increasing app data storage capacity to support growing user data and traffic. Key feature delivered: Website PVC Storage Capacity Expansion, updating persistent volume claim from 120Gi to 150Gi and adjusting both capacity and requests in pv.yaml to align with data growth. The change was implemented and tracked under commit fe95da2d605dfb872725af733eb8fae111927fd0 with message 'Increase website pvc storage'. Business value: expanded storage headroom reduces risk of quota exhaustion, improves reliability during peak usage, and supports upcoming features that depend on larger persistent storage. Skills demonstrated: Kubernetes PV/PVC management, YAML configuration changes, Git versioning and traceability, and impact-driven configuration management.
