-Hello, openSUSE community! My name is Akash Kumar, and I was a Google Summer of Code (GSoC) 2025 mentee with the openSUSE organization. This summer, I had the incredible opportunity to contribute to the project titled **"Create open source sample microservice workload deployments and interfaces."** The goal was to build a functional, open-source workload that could provide relevant analytics for a specific use case.

 I want to extend a huge thank you to my mentor, @bwgartner, and the entire openSUSE community for their support and guidance throughout the summer. Participating in GSoC with openSUSE has been an invaluable learning experience.
