Infrastructure recovery runbooks
Configuration, scripts and runbooks for infrastructure recovery, with secrets excluded.
Completed
Challenge
Recovery depends on documented, tested procedures. A runbook that contains passwords is a liability; a runbook that is never tested is a guess.
Approach
Scripts and runbooks written so that no credentials are stored with them. Secrets are supplied at run time from separate, protected storage.
Status and outcome
Maintained in a private repository.
Status labels on this site: completed work is in use; experimental work informs services but carries no production load; prototypes are unproven; planned work is not started.
