September 2025 monthly summary for entigo-infralib: Delivered architectural improvements across Crossplane-driven infra, AWS integrations, and observability stacks to increase reliability, security, and operational velocity. Key features delivered: - Crossplane-driven Kubernetes infrastructure and health monitoring: adds health detection for Crossplane-managed resources in ArgoCD, extends EKS provisioning via Crossplane, improves node group configuration, and RBAC cleanup. - Region-aware S3 acceleration and KMS policy robustness: only apply BucketAccelerateConfiguration in supported regions and standardize KMS policy conditions across modules. - Crossplane AWS module data object scope via feature flags: adds flags to choose namespaced versus cluster-wide data objects; updates templates and provider configs. - Loki deployment, Grafana/Promtail integration, and network policy hardening in AWS Kubernetes: enhanced log shipping with flexible ingress, optional modules, and reinforced network policies to protect access to S3. - EKS Network policy configurability: toggle to enable/disable VPC CNI network policies for security posture. Impact and accomplishments: - Accelerated and safer infra provisioning with region-aware optimizations and policy consistency. - Flexible governance over data object scoping via feature flags. - Improved observability and security around log shipping to S3. - Configurable security posture for EKS through network policy toggling. Technologies demonstrated: Crossplane, ArgoCD, AWS EKS, S3/KMS, Loki/Grafana/Promtail, Kubernetes RBAC and network policies, feature flags, Git-based config management. Additionally, CI/testing image was bumped to v1.13.9-rc101 to align tests with latest infra-library configuration, and storage-class deployment was simplified to streamline delete-gp2 jobs.
