Kelly contributed to the duplocloud/actions repository by engineering robust CI/CD workflows and infrastructure automation over eight months. She delivered features such as dynamic Terraform backend configuration, multi-cloud credential provisioning, and deterministic tool versioning, using technologies like GitHub Actions, Terraform, and Docker. Her work included automating GCP provisioning, enhancing security through token masking, and improving traceability by linking build artifacts to commit SHAs. Kelly addressed reliability by stabilizing Git reference parsing and refining workflow logic for safer deployments. Through Bash and YAML scripting, she ensured scalable, auditable pipelines, reducing deployment risk and maintenance overhead while supporting multi-environment and multi-tenant scenarios.

May 2025 delivered two core reliability and scalability improvements in the duplocloud/actions workflow. 1) Deterministic duploctl version pin in GitHub Action, locking to 0.2.49 to ensure stable, predictable builds and prevent issues from automatic updates. 2) Dynamic DynamoDB table naming in Terraform backend to support multi-environment deployments by constructing table names from a prefix, account ID, and lock identifier, avoiding hardcoded paths and enabling correct backend configuration across environments. These changes reduce CI/CD variability, improve environment parity, and decrease risk of backend misconfigurations. Commits included: 5f4a2268a5b0129c38b807289ceff3a0be9ff815 and 49eab67cb499141417dc924d258c5dbacb1594c0.

April 2025 focused on stabilizing and standardizing the Duplo Actions integration. Implemented a migration-and-cleanup of the setup action references, removing outdated config and adding a symlink to the main action config, accompanied by updated README/docs to reflect the new action naming and usage. Delivered a new CI/CD workflow enabling multi-cloud support (AWS, GCP, Azure) with Just-In-Time credentials provisioning and authentication steps, including Python setup and duplocloud-client installation. Per the commit hint, rolled back to the previous stable configuration to ensure reliability while the migration matured. These changes reduce onboarding friction, prevent broken builds, and provide secure, on-demand access across environments.
