Nubis Release v1.2.0

[Jason Crowe]

We are happy to announce the most recent release of the Nubis platform.

The Nubis Platform engineering team has been hard at work and this release includes the introduction of aws-vault, a tool which greatly increases our security posture and removes the need for AWS users to have long-lived API keys.

Some highlights for this release include:
 - aws-vault

 - MFA required / enforced for all users

 - NATs now HA

In numbers:
 - 184 Pull Requests Merged
 - 18 Issues Opened Since Last Release
 - 86 Issues Closed
 - 160 Issues Remaining

Attached you will find a presentation highlighting the work we
accomplished during this release cycle.

Thank you JD and team! I second everything Sylvie shared. 

This platform has come a long way in just the last year and its because of your flexibility and dedication!

Can't wait for Nubis to become the platform of choice for Mozilla!

Great work indeed by you and the "cloud" team.  The Nubis platform is looking awesome and we know security is solid here.

Thank you for persisting and moving the platform to where we can be even more confident about and ready to trigger more migrations and offer it as a a platform of choice for new services.

Look forward to seeing our migration plans and also sharing more about the platform to other AWS users who would hugely benefit from it.

Share with all IT. It's an important milestone.

Thnx
