PROFILE
Kristian Gregory
Over six months, contributed to the ministryofjustice/cloud-platform-environments repository by engineering cloud infrastructure and network policy solutions using Terraform, YAML, and Kubernetes. Delivered features such as automated AWS resource tagging for governance, RDS auto-scaling and reliability improvements, and secure development environments with explicit access controls. Enhanced network security by implementing namespace-scoped egress controls, DNS policy management, and baseline network policies for critical services like Prisoner Pay. Collaborated across teams to align infrastructure as code practices with compliance requirements, validated changes through CI pipelines, and maintained clear documentation. The work improved audit readiness, environment parity, and the security posture of cloud platform environments.

17 Commits • 2 Features
Apr 1, 2026Concise monthly summary for 2026-04: Hardened and baseline-validated network policies for the Prisoner Pay development namespace, enabling secure, controlled connectivity to Redis and PostgreSQL with correct CronJob interactions. Completed policy cleanup to remove outdated definitions and prepare a refreshed configuration for Prisoner Pay. Demonstrated CI/CD collaboration by nudging the Concourse pipeline to reflect policy changes and faster feedback on security edits. Overall, improved security posture, reduced blast radius, and accelerated secure dev work in the cloud-platform-environments repo.

Oct 1, 2025October 2025 monthly summary for the cloud platform environments team. Focused on strengthening Data Hub ingestion reliability by enabling hot_standby_feedback on the Activities RDS read replica. This infrastructure-level improvement reduces the risk of replication delays impacting ingestion workflows and supports safer vacuuming behavior on the primary when standby sessions are active.
