7.1 Introduction

Operations explains how Moonitoring systems are run safely in production. It brings together deployment, monitoring, troubleshooting, recovery, backup, and the repeatable procedures required during normal operation.

Use Moonitoring Console to understand system health and operational signals. When action is required, follow the documented Runbooks for service recovery, database recovery, and AI tool delivery instead of relying on memory or improvised steps.

Console is not yet online and does not block stage operations. Use the Google Cloud views and the Stage Release and Recovery procedure until its separate staff integration is accepted. The common foundation register distinguishes available tools, applied resources and completed checks.

7.1.1 Environments

The architecture distinguishes shared, sandbox, stage and prod. The current managed cloud setup is shared/stage, production is not activated, and development runs on each developer's computer with Docker. Their purpose and data boundaries are described in Environments. What matters when operating them:

  • Infrastructure changes use reviewed Terraform plans; application releases use their delivery pipeline. The stage infrastructure still uses reviewed manual plan/apply. Automatic infra triggers and drift checks are not claimed active.
  • Production data access and Privileged Access Manager remain a production design requirement, not an already deployed workflow (see Identity & Access).
  • Sandbox remains isolated, with explicit ownership and budget controls; a budget notification alone does not stop resources.

7.1.2 Deployment

A reviewed commit becomes a verified image candidate, then a release awaiting stage approval. The current path is explicitly initiated; generalizing delivery does not enable automatic deployment on push. Future prod promotion requires the same candidate to have succeeded in stage and passed required tests, then receive production approval. See Application Delivery, Branching & Promotion and the dated stage baseline. Infrastructure follows its own path through Terraform.
