This week, we experienced a blocking outage caused by preview instances failing to load during build. Builds that were previously succeeding started to fail. The issue was related to invalid AWS token authentication on initialization.

After much investigation and hair pulling, it turns out that, as of sometime late last year, Vercel can inject into your instance any number of the following AWS environment variables without warning:

AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
AWS_SESSION_TOKEN
AWS_REGION
AWS_DEFAULT_REGION

This caused all sorts of havoc for us, as AWS_SESSION_TOKEN was the variable made available to our instances, throwing AWS auth through a loop.

I qualify for citizenship up through my grandmother -> great grandmother. In preparing the documents, it doesn't quite seem clear if I need to get apostille's for all the "non-Italian" side of the family. For example, given my grandmother is the direct line to Italy, do I need to get an apostille/translation for my grandfathers birth certificate?

Much appreciated on responses, I searched beforehand and couldn't find an answer here.
