Jun 1, 2025

June 2025 — Focused on strengthening region configuration robustness in getsentry/sentry-infra-tools. Implemented region aliases with centralized lookup to ensure consistent region identification across scenarios and improved configuration resilience. Added a CLI option --skip-region to test_services to exclude specified regions from validation, boosting relevance and performance. Fixed a gap where aliases weren't used consistently across the configuration path (#128), reinforcing overall reliability. These changes reduce regional misconfigurations, speed up validation cycles, and enable safer cross-region operations for downstream workloads. Notable commits include 93d06e913993df60a080e774a3b76290d62eb144; 4b2ff9ded52858b95e1a89b9e7ee29ba86577adf; ec62209c603421c5eddbdd1627909152432a97d3.
