September 2025 highlights for adfinis/helm-charts: Key features delivered include the deprecation of Falco and Gatekeeper in the security-apps Helm chart, covering falco-exporter and falco application deprecations, Gatekeeper deprecation, a chart version bump, and updated documentation reflecting security posture and usage changes. In addition, charts across tracing, storage, infra, misc, and security apps were upgraded and hardened to the latest versions, boosting stability, security, compatibility, and feature support (notable bumps include JaegerOperator 2.57.0, csiDriverSmb, OpenTelemetry Collector 0.134.0, Dex 0.24.0, kured 5.10.0, metallb 0.15.2, GrafanaAgentOperator 0.5.1, Ceph 3.15.0, Goldilocks 10.1.0, KEDA 2.17.2, and related components). A key bug fix addressed a breaking change in the OpenTelemetry collector update in tracing-apps (commit: fix for otel collector breaking change). Overall impact: strengthened security posture, more reliable upgrades, and reduced maintenance risk across a multi-app deployment footprint, supported by comprehensive documentation updates. Technologies/skills demonstrated: Helm chart maintenance and versioning, deprecation strategy, cross-component upgrades, and Kubernetes ecosystem tooling (Jaeger/OpenTelemetry, CSI, Kyverno, Dex, KEDA, Kured, GrafanaAgent, Ceph).
