Operations Runbooks

This folder holds operator-facing procedures for recurring BFDev maintenance, platform, and CI tasks.

Use these pages for practical execution steps, safety checks, cleanup actions, and references to the underlying implementation.

Current Runbooks

• Staging Hotfix Release: promote a merged hotfix into release, run the service release job, and validate the result in staging without invoking the normal cut-off flow.
• Production Hotfix Release: restore release to the last known production state, cherry-pick only the approved hotfix, and run a targeted production release with incident evidence.
• Terraform Plan Dry Runs: safely expose protected variables and runners to a merge request pipeline long enough to validate IaC changes before merge, without enabling release, image publish, or deploy side effects.
