Owned the team's move of 57 hosts to Amazon Linux
I owned the team's migration off an end-of-life operating system across 57 hosts, 22 environments and 9 pipelines, kept the feeds org informed on one tracking page, and closed the policy violation and its open tickets.

- Delivery
57
hosts replaced
22
environments
alpha, beta, gamma and prod
9
pipelines
What would have happened
Hosts stayed on an unsupported OS, the policy-engine violation stayed open and the ticket kept showing up in weekly SLA reports.
The call
Put availability first. After one environment failed, move one host at a time, beta before prod, and stop on any failure.
What I did
Tracked every environment on one page, cleared two blockers, and restored beta and prod capacity when one environment failed mid-move before carrying on.
What changed
57 hosts, 22 environments and 9 pipelines moved, 4 related tickets closed, and my manager replied 'Fantastic. Nice work.'
Proof
The original documents are held in my private record and can be shared on request.
What people said
“Fantastic. Nice work. Thanks for the update.”
