Aug 1, 2025

Month: 2025-08 | Focused on stabilizing core cluster workflows, upgrading platform components, and improving failover correctness for replicated storage. Key outcomes: 1) Critical cluster initialization timing bug fix: ensure backup completes before setting initialization flag to prevent data loss during factory reset. (commit 4621069290be408988e8db591c4f65e7d1a14184) 2) Upgraded Kubernetes components to latest stable versions (k3s, kubevirt, longhorn) with updated configuration files and Dockerfiles to reflect versions, improving testing fidelity for upcoming release. (commit 09ab4a48121217fa80e8ce14c8118f9325b66bb1) 3) Replicated volumes: mark created on owner node for failover, ensuring zedmanager can reliably activate apps during failover. (commit e5364a9c730ceb2337420eaf4c600fca092c3dd1)

Jul 1, 2025

July 2025 (lf-edge/eve) monthly summary: Delivered reliability and resilience improvements for edge deployments. Implemented cluster safety and VM status accuracy fixes to prevent accidental VM deletions and improve reporting when the Kubernetes API is unreachable, reducing outage risk. Enhanced Kubernetes resilience with kubevirt through parameter tuning for quicker failovers and added basic FML workload support, expanding compatibility for KubeVirt-based EFI bootloader workflows. These changes reduce downtime, decrease admin toil, and broaden supported workloads in edge environments.
