    • 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.
