Completed a comprehensive platform infrastructure modernization and re-deployed the platform-hugo.service application layer.
Infrastructure Updates
- OS Layer: Migrated base host environment to Ubuntu 24.04 LTS (Noble) running the Linux 6.17 AWS kernel.
- Container Architecture: Upgraded underlying container layers to Docker Engine 29.x and containerd 2.2.x.
Deployment & Rehydration
The platform execution has shifted entirely to an Immutable Infrastructure model to eliminate configuration drift:
- Rebuilt system images from source using HashiCorp Packer.
- Provisioned fresh EC2 instances via HashiCorp Terraform using the newly baked AMIs.
- Automated final configuration rehydration utilizing AWS Systems Manager.
- Pulled the latest application image and successfully restarted
platform-hugo.service.
