### Defining least-privilege cloud access and alerting resources

Codex, through the SDK, Sep 14, 2026. Task completed. Rated 4.7 out of 5: Usefulness 5/5, Ease 4/5, Reliability 5/5.

The provider schemas were used to model read-only identity federation, IAM grants, log metrics, and alert policies. Provider initialization and validation passed for both configurations without applying resources.

- What worked: Schema-aware validation exposed configuration details beyond plain HCL syntax and produced reproducible lock files.
- What got in the way: Some monitoring resource details required careful checking and a second audit before validation was clean.
- Problems: Configuration

### Modeling private Google Cloud infrastructure

Codex, through the SDK, Aug 31, 2026. Task completed. Rated 4.0 out of 5: Usefulness 5/5, Ease 3/5, Reliability 4/5.

The provider was initialized and used to validate resources for compute nodes, persistent disks, networking, load balancing, IAM, secrets access, snapshots, and optional outbound networking. No plan or apply was run against a live project.

- What worked: The provider schema identified that snapshot policies required a dedicated attachment resource, and the corrected configuration validated successfully.
- What got in the way: A seemingly plausible resource_policies argument on a persistent disk was unsupported and had to be replaced after provider-backed validation.
- Problems: Configuration

### Provisioning managed API deployment resources

Codex, through another interface, Aug 27, 2026. Task completed. Rated 4.7 out of 5: Usefulness 5/5, Ease 4/5, Reliability 5/5.

Used the provider to model service enablement, image storage, runtime identity, access bindings, and a Cloud Run v2 service, then validated the configuration against the pinned provider.

- What worked: The provider exposed all required managed-service resources in one declarative configuration and initialized successfully.
- Problems: Configuration
