Quickstart
Go-Live Readiness
Final readiness checklist before production-heavy usage in GitOpsHQ.
Go-Live Goal
Go live only when release, approval, rollback, and incident evidence paths are all tested end-to-end.
Must-Pass Checklist
- Production environments have explicit policy and freeze behavior.
- Approval rules are validated with real requester/approver separation.
- One successful promotion and one successful rollback drill are completed.
- Audit trail clearly shows requester, approver, executor, and outcome.
- On-call team can run diagnostics and close incidents with evidence.
Sign-Off By Team
- Confirms RBAC, grants, and break-glass standards are approved.
- Confirms approval policy covers all high-risk production actions.
- Confirms repeatable release and promotion execution checklist is used.
- Confirms freeze/approval blockers are handled through documented process.
- Confirms incident runbooks and rollback flows are operational.
- Confirms evidence collection and closure template are adopted.
- Confirms changes are consistently scoped and previewed before request.
- Confirms handoff quality to approvers/operators meets team standard.
Final Dry-Run Sequence
Run a low-risk production-like release request.
Pass required approval gates with real approver accounts.
Execute and verify runtime status.
Run rollback preview and complete selective rollback drill.
Close with audit + runbook evidence package.
