Seba reports

• TLS: was on stage and now we're pushing to Prod - low-stakes update
• Sebastian RE VPN - low-use accounts should be decomissioned - Are you using both?
• Cost drop on AWS: Verified this is not a snapshot issue - the drop in the chart can be attributed to things like stale api requests etc.
• Elastic IP assigned to non-gateway: We only have 1 prod server- having multiple elastic IPs doesn't make sense - decommisioned this (will save some money)... Will also save some $ going forward because AWS is charging more per IP in 2024
• Grafana alert for SQS backup: mysterious but Seba is looking into it.

Jim and Seba discussion:

• Now accounts in keycloak: we have to be able to send emails (because this will be the user workflow when they forget a password ... Where is the mail being routed? Currently failing to send for some of JMs accounts
• SEBA - should be going through simple email service (SES) in AWS. Maybe it is domain vs DNS record mismatch? Not a Docker issue

From Jim

• https://github.com/QualitativeDataRepository/TechnicalTeam/wiki/8-14-2023-Tech-Team-Report

• Will build Prod configuration on Stage next. Likely a few weeks away.
