Service Upgrade Checklist
Here's a simple but useful checklist that will help you when upgrading any of the infra services:
- Make sure that backups are working ok
- Decide which version to upgarde to
- Setup a date and time for the upgrade
- Send an email to infra and devel lists with the date and time and a short summary of the fixed bugs and new features, and if there would be a downtime of any services
- If possible, create a snapshot before the upgrade itself
- 5 minutes before the upgrade starts, send a remainder to infra and devel lists
- Once the upgrade has finished, reply to the previous email with the upgrade results and summary
