AWS Bahrain/UAE Data Center Issues Amid Iran Strikes, ArgoCD vs Flux GitOps Failures, GitHub Actions Hackerbot-Claw Attacks (Trivy), RoguePilot Codespaces Prompt Injection, Block “AI Remake” Layoffs, Claude Code Security

This week on Ship It Weekly, Brian looks at how the boundary of ops keeps expanding.

We cover AWS flagging issues in Bahrain/UAE amid Iran strikes, ArgoCD vs Flux and why ArgoCD can get stuck in failed sync states, GitHub Actions being exploited at scale (plus Trivy’s incident), RoguePilot prompt injection meeting real credentials in Codespaces, Block’s “AI remake” layoffs, and Anthropic’s Claude Code Security for defenders.

Lightning round: DeepSeek model access geopolitics, Vercel’s agentic security boundaries, a KEV CVE to patch, an MCP-atlassian SSRF-to-RCE chain, and Claude Cowork scheduled tasks.
