DOP 277: Making Security Tooling Easy for Developers
DevOps Paradox
Prepare for Outages with Strategic Playbooks
Establishing robust preparation mechanisms is crucial for effectively managing outages. Developing comprehensive playbooks facilitates swift action during incidents, allowing for the quick creation of new workloads on flexible infrastructures like Kubernetes. Multiple strategies exist for addressing unique outages, whether they're due to developer bugs or infrastructure issues, supported by extensive monitoring and health metrics. Acknowledgment and assessment of incidents are immediate, often involving collaborative efforts. While no two outages are identical, maintaining a high service level objective (SLO) in the 99% range demonstrates a commitment to uptime, despite the absence of a formal service level agreement (SLA).
