- Implement source-control, package-registry, internal API, and database connectivity with egress allowlisting, default-deny NetworkPolicy, SSH restrictions, managed secrets, and SIEM audit events.
- Load test and tune prebuilds, autostop, dormancy, quotas, and warm capacity while measuring cold starts, responsiveness, cost, and developer access friction.
- Maintain cloud portability and produce evidence about platform behavior, assumptions, controls, operational viability, and production requirements.
