Since then, I've been involved in both the Kata and +CoCo communities, maintaining and strengthening our CI, reviewing +contributions, and helping out cutting releases. + +Notably, as Microsoft sponsors the CI infrastructure for Kata and CoCo +(as well as adjacent projects like Cloud Hypervisor), I've worked with +Microsoft leadership to unlock $54,000 of funding for Azure resources +for testing. Separately, I've worked with Github to upgrade our +concurrent free runner limit from 20 to 100, significantly speeding up +our CI at no extra cost. In everyday operations, I make it a point to +ensure our CI usage continuously gives us a safe operating margin in +terms of costs, and I bring my expertise in helping the community +maintain the health of the test infrastructure relying on AKS. + +More recently, I've been leading a mentorship program with Boston +University, in which a team of five students is working on turning our +CI dashboard prototype into a production solution, as well as adding +more automation to our CI. I've also been working more closely with +the CoCo community to enable confidential storage features. + +In the next year, I plan to keep executing on these priorities and to +further stabilize and strengthen Kata. As the project matures, a logical +next step that I'd like to explore is advertising it around different +online communities and increasing the reach and growth of the project +this way. + +Aurelien
