GitHub Actions Hardening, Airbnb Config Rollouts, Cloudflare Rust Restarts, ECS Managed Daemons, and Terraform Access Controls

This episode of Ship It Weekly is about the quiet platform work that keeps things safe before they break. Brian covers GitHub Actions hardening in Kubernetes-related repos, Airbnb’s safer config rollouts, Cloudflare’s zero-downtime Rust restarts, Amazon ECS Managed Daemons, and HCP Terraform access controls with IP allow lists and temporary AWS permission delegation.
