November 2024 performance summary: Delivered targeted platform improvements across three repositories to boost CI flexibility, documentation clarity, and IAM policy maintainability. Implemented a new non-spot service account in the OIDC trust policy to allow GitHub Actions runners to assume roles for non-spot instances, enabling more flexible and cost-efficient CI pipelines. Updated Cloud Platform guidance for R Shiny apps to fix a URL and typos, improving accuracy of logs/OpenSearch access guidance. Refactored route table IAM permissions to replace specific actions with a broader ec2:*RouteTable wildcard, reducing policy maintenance and simplifying governance.
