April 2026 monthly summary for the ministryofjustice/hmpps-resettlement-passport-ui service. Focused on security hardening and performance improvements through a platform upgrade, with clean traceability to ESWE-1694 and a single consolidated commit.

March 2026 highlights: RBAC realignment to reflect the disbanding of the Resettlement team and creation/replacement of ESW groups, including a typo fix, with removal of the former team from RBAC in ministryofjustice/cloud-platform-environments. Strengthened CI/CD security in hmpps-resettlement-passport-ui by mitigating vulnerabilities, tightening security configurations, and pinning actions to SHAs to ensure reproducible builds. Kubernetes access controls were updated to enforce current team permissions, reducing cross-team access risk. These changes improve security posture, reduce misconfigurations, and enable safer, faster deployments. Demonstrated expertise in Kubernetes RBAC, CI/CD security, vulnerability management, and resilient build pipelines across two repositories.

In September 2025, the team focused on stabilizing RBAC configuration in the ministryofjustice/cloud-platform-environments repository. No new features were delivered this month; a critical RBAC bug was fixed to ensure correct GitHub team recognition in the Kubernetes cluster, improving access control reliability and governance.

Month: 2025-07. This month delivered end-to-end environment readiness for the hmpps-prisoner-base-location API in ministryofjustice/cloud-platform-environments, enabling safer, faster deployments with parity from development through production.
