Daily Log 25.02.2025 - Summary
Due to restrictions imposed on the provided student lab account, I have reassessed my initial project approach. The limitations prevent access to essential AWS services and the execution of certain automated workflows, making my original plan unfeasible.
As a result, I have revised the project to replace the GitHub Actions-based automation, which previously relied on AWS CodePipeline, with a simpler and more direct Terraform workflow. The updated workflow will function as follows:
- Trigger on Code Push – Each push to the main branch will initiate the workflow.
- Push Docker Image to Amazon ECR – The workflow will build and push the updated Docker image to an Amazon Elastic Container Registry (ECR) repository.
- Deploy the Image – The stored image will be built within ECR, preparing it for deployment.
Also I checked that the project is in congruency with the competency matrix, the only thing that now misses is a detailed project delivery list, yet I already checked that the current project is in congruency and within acceptable range of the competency matrix and expectations.

Daily Log 26.02.2025 - Summary
Unfortunatelly due to alot of meetings today and discussions I was unable to focus on these tasks. These tasks will have to be done another day. THis is in part due to me switching the IT-department next week meaning I need to finish all my work as soon as possible and make a smooth transition of tasks and responsibilities. Meaning I will be probably unable to complete any extra work this week.

Weekly Summary - 24.02.2025 - 02.03.2025 - Problems
No problems arose this week, this is mainly due to the fact that just like I predicted I couldn't make time this week to work on the module, which is regretable since this sets me back a week in my actual planning. As said I had to focus on concluding every task I started during my stay in the IT-department and make for a smooth transition of tasks between me and the appropriate team members also finish documenting code and theory of the things I learned. Meaning I had no time to work on the module.
