PROFILE
John Asafo
Over five months, this developer delivered robust cloud infrastructure solutions within the ministryofjustice/cloud-platform-environments repository, focusing on environment provisioning, deployment automation, and platform governance. They implemented Kubernetes namespaces, RBAC, and network policies to support secure, scalable development and production environments, leveraging Terraform and YAML for infrastructure as code. Their work included integrating Application Insights for observability, automating CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions, and managing AWS resources for live deployments. By standardizing secret management and decommissioning legacy services, they improved operational efficiency and security. Their approach emphasized repeatable, maintainable patterns that reduced manual intervention and enabled faster, safer release cycles across environments.

Nov 1, 2025November 2025 monthly summary for ministryofjustice/cloud-platform-environments: Delivered initial Kubernetes deployment scaffolding for the HMPPS EMDI prototype, including namespace, role bindings (RBAC), resource limits, network policies, and development environment support. Completed a controlled deprecation and removal of the hmpps-edmi-prototype configuration and related Kubernetes resources to consolidate deployment strategies. This work reduced fragmentation, improved governance, and set a cleaner, more maintainable baseline for future prototyping. Key commits illustrating the work include 19b9f5e22f359f63cd6055e6b5f9b91abaeadddc (EPT-449: setup prototype), db24e9072a1c14fce2cc0c6d0f40c7531a125a6b (EPT-449: new prototype config), ec85520a4e2f46074d50e2d2beb5cbe3e94dfd27 (prepare for delete), and 08a92532eb36f1b68aef98e42cd1b3164e487b0e (EPT-449: delete edmi).

Jul 1, 2025Month: 2025-07 — Cloud Platform Environments (ministryofjustice/cloud-platform-environments) – EMDI (Electronic Monitoring Data Insights) deliverables Key features delivered: - Preproduction Deployment Environment Setup for EMDI: Provisioned a dedicated preproduction environment with Kubernetes namespaces, RBAC, network policies, resource quotas, Application Insights integration, and GitHub Actions deployment pipelines to enable safe testing and staging for the EMDI service. Commits include 1222a1a6014255febd20ddb3fed52cd0ec90732b (EPT-234: EMDI Preprod env) and two subsequent empty commits. - TLS Certificate Provisioning for EM DI API Across Environments: Enabled TLS certificates for EM DI API domains by updating cluster issuer DNS names and Certificates across development, preproduction, and production environments to ensure secure communication. Commits include 1e835f07afa84255928bd917afe1a4e94a51fff6 (EPT-234: Remove preprod change), 6a7e21e853eb6220a0f07faddbe99919b0946c3b (EPT-234: preprod api cert), and 79b2c861fceecaa865cfc3fe6c0470fb6c2f43a5 (EPT-236: amend certificate). - Production Deployment Environment Setup for EMDI: Configured production deployment resources, including Kubernetes resources, RBAC, network policies, Application Insights, GitHub Actions pipelines, and AWS integration to support the live EM DI service. Commit: 987198d15fcdfc6e0177e74d5804722f63d228c9 (EPT-236: prod env). Major bugs fixed: - Not explicitly listed in the input, but TLS certificate provisioning across environments ensures secure service endpoints and mitigates certificate-related deployment failures. Production readiness improvements via consistent environment configurations reduce misconfigurations. Overall impact and accomplishments: - End-to-end environment provisioning from development to production enabling safer testing, faster release cycles, and reliable live service for EMDI. - Improved security posture with TLS across all environments, and centralized monitoring through Application Insights. - Automated CI/CD pipelines via GitHub Actions to streamline deployments and reduce manual steps. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - Kubernetes (namespaces, RBAC, network policies, resource quotas) - Certificate management (cert-manager, cluster issuers, TLS for multiple environments) - CI/CD automation (GitHub Actions) - Monitoring and observability (Application Insights) - AWS integration for production deployments Business value: - Safer, faster, and more secure deployments of the EM DI service, with consistent multi-environment configurations and improved operational visibility.
