deployment-documentation

This document is a deployment/infrastructure documentation template and is functionally benign. It contains realistic CI/CD, Docker, Kubernetes, and Terraform examples. The primary security concerns are operational/supply-chain: example files include plaintext secret placeholders (risk of accidental exposure), the CI workflow grants and forwards powerful credentials to runners and third-party GitHub Actions (transitive trust risk), and example operational commands (kubectl exec, docker push) can run high-privilege actions if credentials are compromised. There are no signs of intentional malicious code (no obfuscation, no unknown exfiltration domains, no embedded payloads). Recommendations: remove plaintext credential examples or mark them clearly as placeholders, document least-privilege IAM roles and GitHub Actions permissions, avoid sending raw secrets to untrusted actions, and prefer secret management solutions (vault, AWS Secrets Manager, Kubernetes External Secrets, IAM roles for service accounts) to reduce blast radius.
