Nadia Liu Wei engineered robust cloud infrastructure enhancements for the Azure/telescope repository, focusing on secure, scalable AKS deployments. She implemented features such as AAD-based RBAC, Cilium networking, and KMS integration with Azure Key Vault, using Terraform and YAML to codify infrastructure and automate provisioning. Her work included developing a daily Kperf-based CI/CD pipeline for Kubernetes performance benchmarking, introducing configurable OS disk types for AKS node pools, and creating reusable Azure VM modules with integrated security controls. By addressing both feature delivery and critical bug fixes, Nadia demonstrated depth in DevOps, cloud security, and infrastructure as code, improving operational reliability.

Month: 2025-12. This month delivered enterprise-grade enhancements for Azure/telescope, focusing on security, networking, and lifecycle management. Key features introduced include AAD integration for AKS CLI configuration to enable structured RBAC and enhanced security, Cilium-based networking for policy and dataplane in complex NAP environments, KMS support for AKS cluster creation via Key Vault with per-cluster key selection, and AKS Long-Term Support (LTS) plan adoption with Kubernetes version upgrades to align with LTS testing and benchmarking. These changes improve security posture, operational reliability, and governance, while enabling per-cluster encryption and more robust networking policies.

June 2025 — Azure/telescope: Implemented a repeatable performance testing workflow and stabilized the perf environment to enable reliable capacity planning and faster feedback loops. Delivered a daily Kperf-based CI/CD pipeline to benchmark listing ConfigMaps under varying load, with automated Azure resource provisioning and test data setup. Fixed critical stability issues in the perf pipeline by updating the Kperf image to 0.3.4 to resolve CRD/nodepool release failures and extended the deletion delay for apiserver-cm100 benchmarks to prevent premature cleanup. These changes improved repeatability, reduced test flakiness, and strengthened readiness for production scaling.
