an invention by vcheng
Updated about 1 year ago. 2 hacker ♥️. 3 followers.

Description

As the user-space NFS provider, the NFS-Ganesha is wieldy use with serval projects. e.g. Longhorn/Rook. We want to create the Kubernetes Controller to make configuring NFS-Ganesha easy. This controller will let users configure NFS-Ganesha through different backends like VFS/CephFS.

Goals

  1. Create NFS-Ganesha Package on OBS: nfs-ganesha5, nfs-ganesha6
  2. Create NFS-Ganesha Container Image on OBS: Image
  3. Create a Kubernetes controller for NFS-Ganesha and support the VFS configuration on demand. Mammuthus

    Q2Boot - A handy QEMU VM launcher by amanzini

    Description

    Q2Boot (Qemu Quick Boot) is a command-line tool that wraps QEMU to provide a streamlined experience for launching virtual machines. It automatically configures common settings like KVM acceleration, virtio drivers, and networking while allowing customization through both configuration files and command-line options.

    The project originally was a personal utility in D, now recently rewritten in idiomatic Go. It lives at repository https://github.com/ilmanzo/q2boot

    Goals

    Improve the project, testing with different scenarios , address issues and propose new features. It will benefit of some basic integration testing by providing small sample disk images.

    Updates

    • Dec 1, 2025 : refactor command line options, added structured logging. Released v0.0.2
    • Dec 2, 2025 : added external monitor via telnet option
    • Dec 4, 2025 : released v0.0.3 with architecture auto-detection

    Create a Cloud-Native policy engine with notifying capabilities to optimize resource usage by gbazzotti

    Description

    The goal of this project is to begin the initial phase of development of an all-in-one Cloud-Native Policy Engine that notifies resource owners when their resources infringe predetermined policies. This was inspired by a current issue in the CES-SRE Team where other solutions seemed to not exactly correspond to the needs of the specific workloads running on the Public Cloud Team space.

    The initial architecture can be checked out on the Repository listed under Resources.

    Among the features that will differ this project from other monitoring/notification systems:

    • Pre-defined sensible policies written at the software-level, avoiding a learning curve by requiring users to write their own policies
    • All-in-one functionality: logging, mailing and all other actions are not required to install any additional plugins/packages
    • Easy account management, being able to parse all required configuration by a single JSON file
    • Eliminate integrations by not requiring metrics to go through a data-agreggator

    Goals

    • Create a minimal working prototype following the workflow specified on the documentation
    • Provide instructions on installation/usage
    • Work on email notifying capabilities

    go-git: unlocking SHA256-based repository cloning ahead of git v3 by pgomes

    Description

    The go-git library implements the git internals in pure Go, so that any Go application can handle not only Git repositories, but also lower-level primitives (e.g. packfiles, idxfiles, etc) without needing to shell out to the git binary.

    The focus for this Hackweek is to fast track key improvements for the project ahead of the upstream release of Git V3, which may take place at some point next year.

    OpenPlatform Self-Service Portal by tmuntan1

    Description

    In SUSE IT, we developed an internal developer platform for our engineers using SUSE technologies such as RKE2, SUSE Virtualization, and Rancher. While it works well for our existing users, the onboarding process could be better.

    To improve our customer experience, I would like to build a self-service portal to make it easy for people to accomplish common actions. To get started, I would have the portal create Jira SD tickets for our customers to have better information in our tickets, but eventually I want to add automation to reduce our workload.

    Goals

    • Build a frontend website (Angular) that helps customers create Jira SD tickets.
    • Build a backend (Rust with Axum) for the backend, which would do all the hard work for the frontend.

    Technical talks at universities by agamez

    Description

    This project aims to empower the next generation of tech professionals by offering hands-on workshops on containerization and Kubernetes, with a strong focus on open-source technologies. By providing practical experience with these cutting-edge tools and fostering a deep understanding of open-source principles, we aim to bridge the gap between academia and industry.

    For now, the scope is limited to Spanish universities, since we already have the contacts and have started some conversations.

    Goals

    • Technical Skill Development: equip students with the fundamental knowledge and skills to build, deploy, and manage containerized applications using open-source tools like Kubernetes.
    • Open-Source Mindset: foster a passion for open-source software, encouraging students to contribute to open-source projects and collaborate with the global developer community.
    • Career Readiness: prepare students for industry-relevant roles by exposing them to real-world use cases, best practices, and open-source in companies.

    Resources

    • Instructors: experienced open-source professionals with deep knowledge of containerization and Kubernetes.
    • SUSE Expertise: leverage SUSE's expertise in open-source technologies to provide insights into industry trends and best practices.

    Kubernetes-Based ML Lifecycle Automation by lmiranda

    Description

    This project aims to build a complete end-to-end Machine Learning pipeline running entirely on Kubernetes, using Go, and containerized ML components.

    The pipeline will automate the lifecycle of a machine learning model, including:

    • Data ingestion/collection
    • Model training as a Kubernetes Job
    • Model artifact storage in an S3-compatible registry (e.g. Minio)
    • A Go-based deployment controller that automatically deploys new model versions to Kubernetes using Rancher
    • A lightweight inference service that loads and serves the latest model
    • Monitoring of model performance and service health through Prometheus/Grafana

    The outcome is a working prototype of an MLOps workflow that demonstrates how AI workloads can be trained, versioned, deployed, and monitored using the Kubernetes ecosystem.

    Goals

    By the end of Hack Week, the project should:

    1. Produce a fully functional ML pipeline running on Kubernetes with:

      • Data collection job
      • Training job container
      • Storage and versioning of trained models
      • Automated deployment of new model versions
      • Model inference API service
      • Basic monitoring dashboards

    2. Showcase a Go-based deployment automation component, which scans the model registry and automatically generates & applies Kubernetes manifests for new model versions.

    3. Enable continuous improvement by making the system modular and extensible (e.g., additional models, metrics, autoscaling, or drift detection can be added later).

    4. Prepare a short demo explaining the end-to-end process and how new models flow through the system.

    Rancher/k8s Trouble-Maker by tonyhansen

    Project Description

    When studying for my RHCSA, I found trouble-maker, which is a program that breaks a Linux OS and requires you to fix it. I want to create something similar for Rancher/k8s that can allow for troubleshooting an unknown environment.

    Goals for Hackweek 25

    • Update to modern Rancher and verify that existing tests still work
    • Change testing logic to populate secrets instead of requiring a secondary script
    • Add new tests

    Goals for Hackweek 24 (Complete)

    • Create a basic framework for creating Rancher/k8s cluster lab environments as needed for the Break/Fix
    • Create at least 5 modules that can be applied to the cluster and require troubleshooting

    Preparing KubeVirtBMC for project transfer to the KubeVirt organization by zchang

    Description

    KubeVirtBMC is preparing to transfer the project to the KubeVirt organization. One requirement is to enhance the modeling design's security. The current v1alpha1 API (the VirtualMachineBMC CRD) was designed during the proof-of-concept stage. It's immature and inherently insecure due to its cross-namespace object references, exposing security concerns from an RBAC perspective.

    The other long-awaited feature is the ability to mount virtual media so that virtual machines can boot from remote ISO images.

    Goals

    1. Deliver the v1beta1 API and its corresponding controller implementation
    2. Enable the Redfish virtual media mount function for KubeVirt virtual machines
