March 2025 monthly summary for crossplane-contrib/provider-upjet-aws: Key architectural and CI/CD improvements that enhance build reliability, service accuracy, and publishing throughput. Decoupled config dependency registry organization from publishing registry organization by introducing a new Makefile variable CONFIG_DEPENDENCY_REG_ORG and using it in the cluster/images/provider-aws/Makefile to specify the registry organization for dependency constraints; added a conditional assignment so the variable is only set if not already defined, improving build system flexibility and robustness. Updated AWS provider partitions ce service mappings to include the ce service in the service-to-default-regions mapping for partitions c2s.ic.gov, sc2s.sgov.gov, and csp.hci.ic.gov, ensuring correct association with default regions via generated code (make generate). Upgraded CI/CD publishing workflow to run on larger 16-core machines, significantly improving publish throughput for provider packages.
