Status¶

This document is a DRAFT.

Workflow¶

Deployment pipeline¶

CDIST-based, dot-cdist. Upstream if possible.

Documentation¶

• Register in service list
• Add documentation pages:
  • End-user (if any)
  • Common operations (if any)
  • Infrastructure
• Do not forget to links the pages together!

Monitoring¶

• Plug into consul cluster.
• Configure node exporter.
• Export service-specific metrics, build Grafana dashboard if useful.
• Define and subscribe to alerts regarding the service.

Security¶

• All nodes should be firewalled.
• Write a "what could go wrong" section in the infrastructure page of the service.

Please refer to the Infrastructure security guidelines and tools for details.
