During February 2025, Vagapov worked on the getoutreach/stencil-golang repository, focusing on simplifying cloud infrastructure by removing KIAM functionality and migrating AWS IAM role management to IRSA. This transition involved disabling KIAM by default, eliminating all related code and tests, and adopting IRSA to streamline access control in line with AWS best practices. Vagapov utilized Go and Jsonnet to implement these changes, ensuring that security and functionality were preserved through validation in existing CI pipelines. The work reduced operational risk and maintenance overhead, demonstrating a strong grasp of AWS, Kubernetes, and DevOps principles in a targeted, repository-wide architectural update.
