Main achievements
In addition to ongoing general maintenance and support of cardano environments, some highlights of SRE achievements for this quarter include:

10.0.0-pre
,10.1.0-pre
,10.1.1
,10.1.2
, and finally into10.1.3
by the end of December.All environments were migrated from deprecated grafana agent to grafana alloy.
Sanchonet environment was re-spun twice; once for cardano-node
10.0.0-pre
and once for a community scheduled PV11 hardfork test.Preview and preprod networks were successfully forked into Conway era, Plomin protocol version
10.0
.Private and shelley-qa chains were retired after fulfilling their intended goal.
Remaining cardano-world legacy resources were retired, replaced by cardano-playground.
Details of this and other SRE work can be found in the biweekly SRE reports.
Next steps
