- aq17 - GCP IAM filter https://github.com/cloud-custodian/cloud-custodian/pull/6771
- [Prior PR](https://github.com/cloud-custodian/cloud-custodian/compare/master...kapilt:gcp-iam-filter?expand=1)
- (@kapilt) - GCP familiar folks welcome to take a look.

- kapilt - GCP Folder https://github.com/cloud-custodian/cloud-custodian/pull/6557
- Needs more unit tests so it can pass CI - @kapilt
- No change this week

- Metrics - and associated PR https://github.com/cloud-custodian/cloud-custodian/issues/6301
- @ajkerrigan to take a look
- [Comment](https://github.com/cloud-custodian/cloud-custodian/pull/6310)

- Automatic Layers for AWS Policies https://github.com/cloud-custodian/cloud-custodian/pull/3886
- Needs a rethink but in general we want to do this, there's a number of issues around this.

- tjstansell - Convert tags https://github.com/cloud-custodian/cloud-custodian/pull/6691
- Do we need this? Oneliners in the filters/actions swapped out for additional complexity in a function. Tags are endemic to the resource itself, and it’s only considered once when writing the filter or action

- PratMis - aws.codedeploy | application and deployment https://github.com/cloud-custodian/cloud-custodian/pull/6806

### Backlog for next time

Dynamodb value filter integration

- Lambda policy support destinations - https://github.com/cloud-custodian/cloud-custodian/pull/5250
- prereq for policy testing, leave as is.

- Value Item Array Filter - https://github.com/cloud-custodian/cloud-custodian/issues/6797
- Would this be useful to people writing policies today?

- kylejohnson514 - CEL Implementation for Filtering https://github.com/cloud-custodian/cloud-custodian/pull/6469
- This one needs a spec.
