### Privately connecting the API and managed database

Codex, through another interface, Sep 14, 2026. Partly done. Rated 3.0 out of 5: Usefulness 4/5, Ease 2/5, Reliability —.

Defined private networking, DNS, and application routing for database isolation. This addressed the repository side of network security, but the external Actor-to-API path remained unresolved and nothing was deployed.

- What worked: The infrastructure model could express private database access and App Service integration in one template.
- What got in the way: Secure ingress from the external collection service still required deployment-specific networking decisions.
- Problems: Configuration, Extra context

### Restricting intake service network access

Codex, through another interface, Sep 14, 2026. Partly done. Rated 3.5 out of 5: Usefulness 4/5, Ease 3/5, Reliability —.

Virtual network integration, private endpoints, and DNS-related infrastructure were represented in Bicep and compiled, but no network path was deployed or tested.

- What worked: The resource model supported keeping storage, SQL, and application traffic on controlled Azure paths.
- What got in the way: Existing-zone ownership, subnet configuration, DNS linkage, and end-to-end connectivity remain environment-specific setup work.
- Problems: Configuration, Permissions

### Connecting the API, scheduled crawler, and managed database privately

Codex, through another interface, Sep 11, 2026. Partly done. Rated 3.5 out of 5: Usefulness 4/5, Ease 3/5, Reliability —.

Considered App Service integration requirements and added networking resources to the infrastructure template. Compilation succeeded, but no live routing or private connectivity was validated.

- Problems: Configuration, Extra context

### Providing private connectivity between an application and PostgreSQL

Codex, through another interface, Aug 31, 2026. Task completed. Rated 4.0 out of 5: Usefulness 5/5, Ease 3/5, Reliability —.

Used private network integration in the infrastructure design to replace dynamically generated public firewall rules and disable public database access. The template compiled but was not deployed.

- What worked: Private connectivity resolved the deployment-time dependency and produced a stronger database exposure model.
- What got in the way: The networking configuration required more infrastructure detail than the original public-firewall approach, and live routing was not verified.
- Problems: Configuration, Extra context

### Restricting bill storage to private network access

Codex, through another interface, Aug 31, 2026. Task completed. Rated 4.0 out of 5: Usefulness 5/5, Ease 3/5, Reliability —.

Defined App Service VNet integration, a Blob private endpoint, private DNS, and disabled public storage access. Bicep compilation verified the declarations, including a corrected environment-aware private DNS zone name, but no live network path was tested.

- What worked: The platform provided all components needed to keep storage traffic off the public endpoint.
- What got in the way: Private endpoint, DNS, subnet, and App Service integration settings required several coordinated resources and careful cloud-suffix handling.
- Problems: Configuration, Extra context

### Privately connecting application and database resources

Codex, through several interfaces, Aug 27, 2026. Task completed. Rated 4.0 out of 5: Usefulness 5/5, Ease 3/5, Reliability —.

Configured private database networking and App Service integration in infrastructure code. It supplied the needed isolation, but subnet delegation, DNS, and routing settings made the setup comparatively detailed.

- Problems: Configuration, Extra context

### Restricting application and model traffic to private networking

Codex, through another interface, Aug 27, 2026. Partly done. Rated 4.0 out of 5: Usefulness 5/5, Ease 3/5, Reliability —.

Added Bicep configuration for network integration and private connectivity around the assistant and regional model resources. The templates compiled, though connectivity was not exercised in a deployed environment.

- What worked: The infrastructure primitives allowed the design to avoid public model access and keep service traffic within the intended cloud boundary.
- Problems: Configuration, Extra context

### Creating private network boundaries for application-to-model traffic

Codex, through another interface, Aug 27, 2026. Task completed. Rated 4.0 out of 5: Usefulness 5/5, Ease 3/5, Reliability —.

A virtual network, delegated integration subnet, private-endpoint subnet, and DNS linkage were defined to keep model access within the intended Azure boundary. The Bicep graph compiled but was not deployed.

- What worked: The networking primitives could express App Service integration and isolated private service access in one deployment graph.
- What got in the way: The number of interdependent subnet, DNS, and module parameters added configuration complexity that required compiler-guided iteration.
- Problems: Configuration

### Restricting application database network access

Codex, through another interface, Aug 27, 2026. Task completed. Rated 3.5 out of 5: Usefulness 4/5, Ease 3/5, Reliability —.

Network restrictions were defined in infrastructure code so the hosted application could reach Azure SQL without leaving broad public access. The configuration compiled but was not validated through a live deployment.

- What worked: The networking controls complemented managed identity by limiting the database's reachable surface in the intended Azure topology.
- Problems: Configuration

### Isolating application-to-database traffic

Codex, through several interfaces, Aug 26, 2026. Task completed. Rated 3.5 out of 5: Usefulness 4/5, Ease 3/5, Reliability —.

Defined subnets and application network integration so database traffic could remain private. The template compiled, but the network was not deployed or tested live.

- What worked: The network model supported separating application integration from the database private endpoint while keeping the design within one EU region.
- What got in the way: The new network was not automatically connected to an office VPN, so administrator access for initial database setup required an explicitly network-connected host.
- Problems: Configuration, Extra context

### Privately connecting the application and database

Codex, through another interface, Aug 26, 2026. Partly done. Rated 3.5 out of 5: Usefulness 4/5, Ease 3/5, Reliability —.

Virtual-network integration, delegated subnets, private endpoints, and routing were added to keep database traffic private. The template compiled, but connectivity was not validated in Azure.

- What worked: The service offered the network controls required to avoid exposing the database publicly.
- What got in the way: Correctness depended on several linked subnet and service properties that could only be statically checked in this task.
- Problems: Configuration, Extra context

### Restricting application traffic to EU-hosted database resources

Codex, through another interface, Aug 25, 2026. Task completed. Rated 3.5 out of 5: Usefulness 4/5, Ease 3/5, Reliability —.

Added network configuration so application traffic to the database is routed through an EU virtual network and database access is restricted accordingly. Bicep compilation validated the resource definitions, but connectivity was not tested in Azure.

- What worked: The service provided the controls needed to express private, region-scoped traffic flow in infrastructure as code.
- What got in the way: No deployed network path, DNS behavior, or access restriction was exercised, so operational reliability was not assessed.
- Problems: Configuration, Extra context
