Need to define clear recovery timeline and resources to inform Greg and RESF. Environment being built with Ansible scripts and AI tools to be repeatable.
Additional Context
Koji is running locally; next step is deploying to private EC2. Package signing and Secure Boot keys are secured via Atomic Quark. Plan to use OpenELA sources first to support partners, then switch to RDSF method if needed. Nathan also mirroring public Mattermost channels to secure historical data.
