Vaishnavi Reddy Putluru engineered and maintained core cloud infrastructure for the nationalarchives/ds-infrastructure-web repository, delivering end-to-end deployment automation, secure secret management, and scalable service orchestration. She implemented features such as Lambda-driven cron triggers, centralized AWS SSM Parameter Store integration, and component-based Terraform configurations to streamline deployments and improve security. Her work included automating AMI builds, standardizing CI/CD workflows with GitHub Actions, and enhancing infrastructure reliability through robust monitoring and environment parity. Using Python, Terraform, and Shell scripting, Vaishnavi addressed operational challenges by reducing manual intervention, accelerating onboarding, and ensuring maintainable, auditable infrastructure across development, staging, and production environments.

November 2025: Delivered major CI/CD and deployment pipeline enhancements for the catalogue service in nationalarchives/ds-infrastructure-web. Updated Ansible playbooks for AMI builds across environments, introduced shared Terraform planning/apply workflows, and added shared AMI build workflows to streamline service deployment. Refactored GitHub Actions paths for easier maintenance. Standardized Python dependencies in CI/CD by adding base-python-req files and correcting requirements paths to ensure reliable pip installs. Consolidated deployment steps into reusable workflows to reduce environmental drift and accelerate onboarding of new services.

Month: 2025-10 Key features delivered: - Centralized secret management with AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store: migrated frontend, deployment, and wagtaildocs secrets from GitHub Secrets to Parameter Store to centralize and secure secret handling across frontend code and CI/CD workflows. - Component-based Terraform vars organization: reorganized variable files from a top-level vars directory to components/terraform/vars with updated documentation for clearer structure and reuse. Major bugs fixed: - No major bugs fixed this month; primary focus on security hardening and infrastructure hygiene. Overall impact and accomplishments: - Strengthened security posture by reducing secret surface area, enabling centralized secret rotation and improved auditability across environments. - Improved infrastructure maintainability and consistency with modular Terraform vars and clearer repo structure, accelerating onboarding and deployment reliability. - Demonstrated cross-team collaboration, traceability via commit history, and documentation improvements to support governance. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store, secret management, access controls - Terraform: component-based variable organization, docs updates - CI/CD integration considerations and Git-based traceability
