December 2024: Delivered Dynamic IAM Role Configuration for Service Shard Updates in Yelp/paasta, adding an optional --iam-role arg to the service_shard_update script to inject an IAM role into shard instance configs. This enables dynamic, per-shard IAM role assignments, improving security and operational flexibility. No major bugs reported this period; minor IAM propagation improvements implemented. Technologies demonstrated: Python scripting, CLI design, IAM integration, and disciplined change management. Business value: finer-grained access control for shard updates, reduced blast radius, easier compliance, and improved auditability.
