Delivered key policy, authentication, and ingress improvements, and deprecated legacy components to reduce maintenance overhead. No major bugs reported this month. Business impact includes improved health-check reliability, streamlined IAM integration with the new Keycloak URL, and a more maintainable, APISIX-based ingress with removed Bitnami configurations.

Monthly summary for 2024-11: Implemented secure management of Workspace API client credentials for EOEPCA/eoepca-plus by migrating from plaintext configuration to a sealed secret, updating ingress to reference the sealed secret, and aligning client IDs/secrets via kustomization and environment variable corrections. This work enhances security, reduces exposure of sensitive credentials, and improves deployment reliability across environments. It lays groundwork for secret rotation and governance and demonstrates strong adherence to security best practices.

October 2024 - EOEPCA-plus: Delivered two key identity/auth features, strengthening internal security and deployment repeatability. The Identity API service was deployed in the IAM module with Argo CD managing the deployment of the identity-service Helm chart, including a new Kubernetes application and sealed secrets with value overrides, plus direct internal Keycloak authentication for streamlined access. The Identity API Gateway was configured via APISIX with OpenID Connect and Keycloak-based authorization, routing identity-api.apx.develop.eoepca.org to identity-api:8080, followed by a deprecation of the OIDC plugin in favor of JWT-based caller authentication to tighten access controls. No major bugs were reported this month; the focus was on secure, scalable deployment automation and authentication improvements. Technologies demonstrated include Kubernetes, Helm, Argo CD, sealed-secrets, Keycloak, APISIX, OIDC and JWT-based security, and Helm value overrides. This work enhances developer productivity and reduces friction for internal services while strengthening security and compliance.
