Manage ssm-user sudoers in production and sandbox#272
Merged
Conversation
The sudoers drop-in for ssm-user was only declared in development's sudo::configs. Because saz/sudo defaults to purge => true, puppet was wiping SSM agent's own /etc/sudoers.d/ssm-agent-users on every run in prod and sandbox, leaving ssm-user with no sudo grant. Add the same sudo::configs entry to prod and sandbox so puppet owns the grant end-to-end across all environments. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
