summary

MZCLD-3674 requests deletion of an orphaned Terraform module (projects/coverity/tf/modules/coverity/) that contains a hard-coded plaintext PagerDuty service key plus an associated PagerDuty notification channel and an "Coverity Uptime Monitoring" alert policy that depend on it. The ticket author has already done the due diligence: they verified (at commit 8c24bbcf) that no code in cloudops-infra or cloudops-deployment references this module, and that the only live coverity stack (tf/prod/project/main.tf) only calls module "project" plus a GCS backup bucket — never this orphaned module. Since the underlying PagerDuty account is shut down, the leaked key and channel are inert regardless. The one open item is that Terraform state was not inspected to confirm whether these resources were ever actually applied and might still be lingering, unmanaged, in project moz-fx-coverity-prod-56e6. This is a low-risk, well-scoped cleanup/security-hygiene ticket sitting in Backlog with no comments yet.

findings

• Ticket is well-documented and low risk: removing the module changes no applied resource because it is not referenced anywhere in cloudops-infra or cloudops-deployment.
• Security hygiene issue present regardless of disposition decision: a plaintext PagerDuty service key is committed in main.tf.
• PagerDuty account behind the key is already shut down, so the exposure/risk from the lingering key and notification channel is effectively inert either way, reducing urgency but not eliminating the cleanup need.
• There is an unresolved 'known unknown': whether these resources (notification channel, alert policy) were ever actually applied and still exist unmanaged in the moz-fx-coverity-prod-56e6 GCP project. This should be checked (e.g., via `tofu state list` / `tofu plan` or GCP console) before or as part of closing the ticket, since deleting the module files alone won't remove any resources that were already applied and are no longer tracked by Terraform.
• Ticket is linked to a broader decommission effort (OPST-2171, coverity GCPv1 decommission), suggesting this cleanup may be sequenced with or subsumed by that larger project.
• Ticket currently sits in Backlog status with zero comments — no triage discussion has occurred yet.

proposed actions

Triage: This looks like a safe, well-scoped cleanup — thanks for the thorough verification. Proposing to move forward with full deletion of projects/coverity/tf/modules/coverity/ (rather than just stripping the PagerDuty blocks), since the module has no callers and its removal is confirmed to produce no `tofu plan` diff on the live coverity stack.

Before closing, please also address the 'known unknown' noted in the description: run `tofu state list` (or check GCP console) against the moz-fx-coverity-prod-56e6 project to confirm whether the PagerDuty notification channel and 'Coverity Uptime Monitoring' alert policy were ever actually applied. If they were applied and are now unmanaged (orphaned in the cloud but not in Terraform), they should be cleaned up manually via `gcloud monitoring` / console, since deleting the module code alone won't remove already-applied resources.

Given the PagerDuty account is already shut down, there's no active alerting/security risk from delay, but the plaintext key should still be scrubbed from the repo per the acceptance criteria. Suggest coordinating with OPST-2171 (coverity GCPv1 decommission) in case this work is better sequenced with or folded into that larger effort. Moving to ready-for-work / next sprint pending confirmation on the state check.

The only live coverity stack,  tf/prod/project/main.tf , instantiates just  module \"project\"  plus a GCS backup bucket \u2014 it never calls this module. Removing it therefore changes no applied resource. Ask.  Delete the orphaned module directory (or, if preferred, only the PagerDuty key + channel + policy blocks). Acceptance criteria. No plaintext PagerDuty key remains under  projects/coverity/ . tofu plan  on the live coverity stack shows no change. Known unknown:  whether these resources were ever applied historically and still linger unmanaged in  moz-fx-coverity-prod-56e6 . The Terraform state would answer that; it was not inspected.
