DevOps Go-Live Checklist

The purpose of this section is to review the devops items that need to be considered for Go-Live. As a practice, I typically script these items prior to executing them 'for real' as much as is reasonable.

• Perform push from Pristine to Test as normal
• …
• Update URLs accordingly yoursystem-prod.yourco.com, yoursystem-sand0.yourco.com, etc…
• Note; do not reuse any test/pristine URL immediately after golive.
• Update Pristine logo to SAND in big red letters
• Update Pristine logo to yoursystem (production)
• Update both servers' /opt/chuboe/idempiere…/utils/chuboe.properties to reflect IsTestEnv
• Update backup to no longer create Pristine backups
• Update backup to start creating Production backups
• Update the Production DB Server => Security Group to no allow any connections except for app server and metabase. This ensures the test app server is not capable of writing to the production db.
• Make sure machine names are updated accordingly
  • /etc/hosts/
  • ~/.bashrc => PS1
• At the end each day for the first week, we will confirm backups are occurring as expected, and we will establish our monitoring protocol (check XMX, HD space, etc…).
