Design Principles
- Perform operations as code: scripts all operational procedures to limit human error and enable consistent responses to events.
- Make frequent, small, reversible changes: design to allow frequent incremental updates with easy reversal of change
- Refine operations procedures frequently: Lean and improve continuously
- Anticipate failure: Test your failure scenarios and response procedures using game days
- Learn from all operational failures: Actively lean lessons learned from all operational events and failures
Best Practices
- Organization – understand business priorities
- Prepare – build solution with metrics to measure success and create pipeline for build, configuration, testing and deployment
- Operate – monitor metrics for the applications and the operations processes
- Evolve – regularly evaluate, prioritize and deliver on opportunities for improvement
