May 2026 monthly summary focused on deprecating AWS S3 usage in the ministryofjustice/modernisation-platform-environments repository and tightening resource lifecycle management. Key work included decommissioning S3 components by removing S3-related IAM policies and role attachments, enabling force_destroy for Terraform-managed S3 buckets to simplify cleanup of non-empty buckets, and removing Rekognition-related S3 bucket configurations. These changes reduce security risk, lower ongoing storage costs, and accelerate the platform’s migration away from S3 storage/processing. All work consolidated under ESUP-961 with three commits implementing the changes. Impact and outcomes: - Simplified IAM configuration and governance, reducing attack surface and operational overhead - Faster cleanup and lifecycle management of environment resources - Clear path for future migration away from S3 storage/processing Technologies/skills demonstrated: - Terraform (force_destroy, lifecycle management) - AWS IAM policy and role cleanup - S3 bucket configuration pruning and Rekognition integration removal - Version control discipline and traceability (ESUP-961 commits)

March 2026 monthly summary focusing on security-enabled infrastructure, local development enablement, and reproducible deployment configurations across two major environments. Delivered S3 Rekognition integration access control, established local S3 access for developers, and stabilized Terraform provider usage. Expanded Rekognition capabilities for faceliveness detection with container and Terraform support.

February 2026 (2026-02): Strengthened security, stability, and traceability in the cloud-platform-environments repository. Delivered RBAC-based GitHub access control for e-supervision, enhanced IRSA/RDS and SNS access controls in pre-production, and executed a controlled rollback to restore a stable pre-production state. Result: tighter access controls, reproducible environment configuration, and faster recovery paths, with clear commit-level traceability.
