Develop a comprehensive DevOps playbook covering deployment procedures, infrastructure management, monitoring setup, and operational best practices.
# Create DevOps Playbook for Common Scenarios Act as an Engineering Director creating a DevOps playbook. ## DevOps Playbook Overview **Purpose**: Standardize DevOps practices and procedures across teams **Scope**: [Infrastructure, deployment, monitoring, operations] **Audience**: [DevOps engineers, SREs, platform engineers] --- ## 1. Infrastructure Provisioning ### Cloud Infrastructure Setup **Infrastructure as Code**: - [ ] Use [Terraform/CloudFormation/etc.] - [ ] Version control infrastructure code - [ ] Review infrastructure changes - [ ] Test infrastructure changes **Environment Creation**: - **Development**: [Setup procedure] - **Staging**: [Setup procedure] - **Production**: [Setup procedure] **Resource Tagging**: - [ ] Standard tags: [List] - [ ] Cost allocation tags - [ ] Environment tags - [ ] Owner tags --- ## 2. Deployment Procedures ### CI/CD Pipeline **Pipeline Stages**: 1. [ ] Build: [What happens] 2. [ ] Test: [What happens] 3. [ ] Security scan: [What happens] 4. [ ] Deploy to staging: [What happens] 5. [ ] Integration tests: [What happens] 6. [ ] Deploy to production: [What happens] **Deployment Strategies**: - **Blue-Green**: [Procedure] - **Canary**: [Procedure] - **Rolling**: [Procedure] - **Feature Flags**: [Usage] **Deployment Checklist**: - [ ] Code review approved - [ ] Tests passing - [ ] Security scans clean - [ ] Documentation updated - [ ] Rollback plan ready - [ ] On-call notified --- ## 3. Monitoring & Observability ### Monitoring Setup **Metrics to Monitor**: - [ ] System metrics (CPU, memory, disk) - [ ] Application metrics (latency, errors, throughput) - [ ] Business metrics (revenue, user activity) - [ ] Custom metrics (application-specific) **Logging Strategy**: - [ ] Log aggregation: [Tool] - [ ] Log retention: [Duration] - [ ] Log levels: [Configuration] - [ ] Structured logging: [Format] **Alerting Configuration**: - [ ] Alert thresholds defined - [ ] Alert routing configured - [ ] On-call escalation setup - [ ] Alert fatigue prevention **Dashboards**: - [ ] System health dashboard - [ ] Application performance dashboard - [ ] Business metrics dashboard - [ ] Custom dashboards as needed --- ## 4. Security Practices ### Security Hardening **Access Control**: - [ ] Principle of least privilege - [ ] Multi-factor authentication - [ ] Regular access reviews - [ ] Secrets management **Security Scanning**: - [ ] Dependency scanning: [Tool/schedule] - [ ] Container scanning: [Tool/schedule] - [ ] Infrastructure scanning: [Tool/schedule] - [ ] Penetration testing: [Schedule] **Incident Response**: - [ ] Security incident playbook - [ ] Security team contact - [ ] Isolation procedures - [ ] Reporting requirements --- ## 5. Cost Management ### Cost Optimization **Resource Management**: - [ ] Right-size resources - [ ] Use reserved instances where appropriate - [ ] Auto-scaling configured - [ ] Idle resource cleanup **Cost Monitoring**: - [ ] Cost allocation tags - [ ] Budget alerts - [ ] Regular cost reviews - [ ] Cost optimization recommendations **Cost Reporting**: - [ ] Monthly cost reports - [ ] Cost per team/service - [ ] Cost trends analysis - [ ] Budget planning --- ## 6. Disaster Recovery ### Backup & Recovery **Backup Strategy**: - [ ] Database backups: [Schedule] - [ ] Configuration backups: [Schedule] - [ ] Code backups: [Version control] - [ ] Backup verification: [Schedule] **Disaster Recovery**: - [ ] Recovery Time Objective (RTO): [Target] - [ ] Recovery Point Objective (RPO): [Target] - [ ] Failover procedures: [Documented] - [ ] Recovery testing: [Schedule] --- ## 7. Capacity Planning ### Scaling Strategy **Auto-Scaling**: - [ ] Horizontal scaling: [Configuration] - [ ] Vertical scaling: [Configuration] - [ ] Scaling policies: [Defined] - [ ] Scaling metrics: [Monitored] **Capacity Planning**: - [ ] Resource growth projections - [ ] Peak usage analysis - [ ] Capacity reviews: [Schedule] - [ ] Scaling recommendations --- ## 8. Documentation Standards ### Documentation Requirements **Required Documentation**: - [ ] Architecture diagrams - [ ] Runbooks for common tasks - [ ] Deployment procedures - [ ] Troubleshooting guides - [ ] API documentation **Documentation Maintenance**: - [ ] Update after changes - [ ] Review quarterly - [ ] Keep versioned - [ ] Make accessible --- ## 9. Operational Excellence ### Best Practices **Reliability**: - [ ] Service Level Objectives (SLOs): [Defined] - [ ] Error budgets: [Configured] - [ ] Reliability reviews: [Schedule] **Change Management**: - [ ] Change approval process - [ ] Change windows - [ ] Rollback procedures - [ ] Change documentation **Incident Management**: - [ ] Incident response procedures - [ ] Post-incident reviews - [ ] Action item tracking - [ ] Continuous improvement --- ## 10. Team Collaboration ### DevOps Culture **Cross-Functional Collaboration**: - [ ] Regular sync meetings - [ ] Shared on-call rotation - [ ] Knowledge sharing sessions - [ ] Blameless postmortems **Continuous Learning**: - [ ] Tool training - [ ] Best practice sharing - [ ] Conference attendance - [ ] Internal tech talks --- ## Success Metrics **DevOps Metrics**: - Deployment frequency - Lead time for changes - Mean time to recovery (MTTR) - Change failure rate **Goals**: - [ ] Increase deployment frequency - [ ] Reduce lead time - [ ] Improve reliability - [ ] Reduce change failure rate
