Francesco updated the backup policy for the Zilliqa/zq2 repository, focusing on improving data governance and optimizing storage usage. He reduced backup retention from 14 to 7 days and adjusted the guest flush setting to false, clarifying guest data handling and aligning with organizational requirements. Using Infrastructure as Code principles and Terraform, Francesco designed and implemented these changes in HCL, ensuring clear configuration management and traceability through disciplined Git commit practices. The update streamlined data retention processes and enabled potential storage cost savings. His work demonstrated attention to policy design, configuration governance, and careful release hygiene within the repository.
