Critical Fixes Applied
- SSL Connection: Fallback to disable SSL verification when CA cert is empty
- SCC Compatibility: Removed hardcoded UIDs, let OpenShift assign them
- Route Agnostic: Removed hardcoded hostname, let OpenShift generate it
- Image Pull: Docker Hub secret configuration
- Prometheus Integration: ServiceAccount token authentication
- Data Structure Fix: Updated PodResource model to handle container dictionaries
- Validation Engine: Fixed container resource access in validation_service.py
- UI/UX: Replaced browser alerts with professional modals
🐛 Known Issues
1. Historical Analysis Data
Status: ⚠️ SHOWING ZEROS
Issue: Prometheus queries return zero values for CPU/memory usage
Location: app/services/historical_analysis.py
Impact: Historical analysis appears empty
Next Steps: Debug PromQL queries and metric availability
2. Export Functionality
Status: ⚠️ NEEDS TESTING
Issue: Export functionality needs validation with current implementation
Location: app/services/report_service.py
Impact: Users may not get proper export files
Next Steps: Test and fix file download mechanism
📋 Roadmap & Next Steps
🎯 PRAGMATIC ROADMAP - Resource Governance Focus

- Detailed analysis of pod and container resource configurations
-
Workload Analysis System
- Problem Identification: Namespaces with resource configuration issues
