PROFILE
Mark Butler
Over five months, contributed to the ministryofjustice/cloud-platform-environments repository by engineering secure, observable, and maintainable cloud infrastructure. Delivered features such as automated RDS maintenance, OpenSearch alerting with Slack integration, and structured decommissioning of legacy environments to improve reliability and reduce operational overhead. Leveraged Terraform and YAML to manage AWS resources, enforce tagging governance, and streamline secrets management. Enhanced monitoring and incident response through real-time alerting and automated IAM key rotation. Focused on infrastructure hygiene by resolving configuration drift, standardizing environment variables, and cleaning up obsolete resources, resulting in improved security, maintainability, and cost efficiency across Kubernetes-managed cloud environments.

Aug 1, 2025August 2025 monthly summary for ministryofjustice/cloud-platform-environments. Delivered maintenance, governance, and decommissioning initiatives across the environment portfolio to improve reliability, security monitoring, governance, and cost efficiency. Key features included automated RDS maintenance improvements, OpenSearch alerting enhancements, and consistent tagging, plus a structured decommissioning of the make-a-plea environments to reduce operational surface area. Key features delivered: - RDS maintenance enhancements: enable automatic minor version upgrades, disable major upgrades, and introduce an external secret for OpenSearch alerting to streamline maintenance and alerting integration. (Commit: 9d6abcfab6bd677a29be8883f9a07ee33ec6ce3b) - AWS resource tagging consistency: propagate GithubTeam tag to all resources provisioned by the Terraform AWS provider for improved organization and traceability. (Commit: 639ac9e2069de3904b0a6a9b1b1c53212a2ae780) - OpenSearch bot activity alert for GRC production: configure bot activity alerts and Slack notifications to accelerate incident response. (Commit: d88fc332bc7d91c003120ca6a6cce83a196977d7) - Decommission make-a-plea environments: remove dev/preprod/prod namespaces, resources, and prepare ECR cleanup to reduce unused resources and maintenance surface. (Commits: multiple including 595212ef90c29f3bd4b663ea9797ed0cfa706c2b, 9eb49a0b815fa0f7f54e6f0e8071a6b2f2ea5387, ad473a138f4994bba875ed15186140185548ed29, 59a85543df6fb9902ca51da3591ae82d6b5c5d2e, 02045e30046f534ab4cb0dbf011869648a5b618e, 7898a0d24f5500dfa3933b939d4396c4fd26b366) Major bugs fixed: - Resolved missing GithubTeam tag propagation across one AWS provider, ensuring consistent tagging across all resources (Commit: 639ac9e2069de3904b0a6a9b1b1c53212a2ae780). Overall impact and accomplishments: - Strengthened reliability and security monitoring with OpenSearch alerts and Slack notifications, enabling faster detection and response to bot activity in production. - Improved governance and cost efficiency through consistent tagging and the removal of outdated environments, reducing maintenance overhead and unused resources. - Demonstrated end-to-end DevOps capabilities: AWS services (RDS, OpenSearch), Terraform provisioning with tagging, secret management, alert integrations, and Kubernetes namespace lifecycle management. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - AWS: RDS, OpenSearch, resource tagging governance - Terraform AWS provider: resource tagging propagation - OpenSearch alerting and Slack integration - Secrets management and external secret usage - Kubernetes namespace lifecycle and ECR cleanup - Incident response readiness and security monitoring
