Deliveries included: - ministryofjustice/modernisation-platform: upgraded to v1.4.0 (commit 3f5937a451f7b5f7675b99b645e2cc90cc32f707) and aligned with main (commit b7e0260439d98bacd27647bb535a8637d2d5a3de). - ministryofjustice/modernisation-platform-terraform-loadbalancer: updated to main (commit 34172140db8a44f4e01f307ea0c7d896492aab7b). - ministryofjustice/modernisation-platform-terraform-lambda-function: updated to main (commit de4e385af43983e3cacd61a177432d6bacec13f8). - ministryofjustice/modernisation-platform-terraform-ssm-patching: upgraded to main (commit aed9b7cc11297e50464f84998e3cf27ccbf17718). Major bugs fixed: - No explicit bug fixes documented in this data. The primary focus was security hardening through SLSA action upgrades which mitigates supply chain risks and reduces false positives in security scanning. Overall impact and accomplishments: - Strengthened software supply chain security across the Modernisation Platform portfolio by standardizing and upgrading SLSA checks in CI/CD workflows across four repositories. - Improved security posture, audit readiness, and policy compliance by ensuring all pipelines use the latest security actions aligned with main branches. - Reduced risk exposure in deployment pipelines, enabling more deterministic and trustworthy releases for business-critical infrastructure (load balancer, Lambda functions, and SSM patching modules). Technologies/skills demonstrated: - GitHub Actions / CI/CD security automation with SLSA-based checks - Version alignment with main branches and pre-release versions (v1.4.0, main) - Terraform module pipeline safety across multiple components (load balancer, Lambda, SSM patching) - Change management and multi-repo coordination for security upgrades Business value: - Lowered risk of tampered builds and compromised deployments, accelerating secure releases and compliance reporting across the modernization platform.
