Delivery horizons

  • Now (in progress): RBAC and secrets foundations; centralised configuration
  • Next (planned): change-management hooks; notifications
  • Later (planned): audit trail and retention; periodic reviews and reporting

1) Access control and secrets

  • Enforce role separation for sensitive actions (for example production deploys). (Planned)
  • Use encrypted automation secrets and a managed KMS where applicable (for example Ansible Vault bundle + Azure Key Vault as steady-state store). (In progress)
  • Optional: integrate enterprise identity (AD/LDAP/IdP) for operator access patterns. (Planned)

2) Centralised, versioned configuration

  • Maintain environment and policy settings as versioned configuration (YAML/JSON). (In progress)
  • Load configuration at runtime; avoid hard-coded values in playbooks and pipelines. (Planned)
  • Record configuration changes and approvals to support auditability. (Planned)

3) Change management hooks

  • Require change references for production-impacting actions (ticket or change ID). (Planned)
  • Link deployments to change records for traceability (API integration where available). (Planned)

4) Automated notifications

  • Notify on deployments, approvals, and failures (chat and/or email; paging optional). (Planned)
  • Retain notification events for operational and compliance reporting. (Planned)

5) Audit and compliance

  • Capture immutable execution logs for deployments, approvals, and justifications. (Planned)
  • Define retention, review cadence, and exportable reporting for stakeholders. (Planned)

Current alignment

  • Inventory scoping and pipeline gates reduce exposure of sensitive data. (Done)
  • Environment validation and target selection support segregation of duties. (Done)
  • Observability enables incident response and SLO-driven decision-making. (Done)

Milestones and acceptance

  • Access controls and secrets workflows operational and peer-reviewed.
  • Configuration versioning enforced across environments.
  • Change hooks and notifications active in CI/CD workflows.
  • Audit trail retention defined, implemented, and verified.
