# Deployment Runbook
|
|
|
|
Standard operating procedure for deploying changes to infrastructure using Ansible.
|
|
|
|
## Overview
|
|
|
|
This runbook covers the standard deployment process for configuration changes, application updates, and infrastructure modifications.
|
|
|
|
## Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
- [ ] Access to Ansible control node
|
|
- [ ] Proper credentials and SSH keys
|
|
- [ ] Vault password for target environment
|
|
- [ ] Change approval (for production)
|
|
- [ ] Backup completed (for production)
|
|
|
|
## Deployment Process
|
|
|
|
### 1. Pre-Deployment Checks
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Verify Ansible version
|
|
ansible --version
|
|
|
|
# Test inventory connectivity
|
|
ansible all -i inventories/<environment> -m ping
|
|
|
|
# Verify vault access
|
|
ansible-vault view inventories/<environment>/group_vars/all/vault.yml
|
|
|
|
# Run syntax check
|
|
ansible-playbook site.yml --syntax-check
|
|
|
|
# Dry-run (check mode)
|
|
ansible-playbook -i inventories/<environment> site.yml --check
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 2. Staging Deployment
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Deploy to staging environment
|
|
ansible-playbook -i inventories/staging site.yml
|
|
|
|
# Verify staging deployment
|
|
ansible-playbook -i inventories/staging playbooks/security_audit.yml --tags verify
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 3. Production Deployment
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Create pre-deployment backup
|
|
ansible-playbook -i inventories/production playbooks/backup.yml
|
|
|
|
# Deploy to production (gradual rollout)
|
|
ansible-playbook -i inventories/production site.yml \
|
|
--extra-vars "maintenance_serial=25%"
|
|
|
|
# Verify production deployment
|
|
ansible-playbook -i inventories/production playbooks/security_audit.yml --tags verify
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 4. Post-Deployment Verification
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Verify all services running
|
|
ansible production -m shell -a "systemctl status <critical-services>"
|
|
|
|
# Check application logs
|
|
ansible production -m shell -a "tail -50 /var/log/application.log"
|
|
|
|
# Monitor system health
|
|
ansible production -m shell -a "uptime && free -h && df -h"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Rollback Procedure
|
|
|
|
If deployment fails:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Restore from backup
|
|
ansible-playbook -i inventories/production playbooks/disaster_recovery.yml \
|
|
--limit affected_hosts \
|
|
--extra-vars "dr_backup_date=<backup_date>"
|
|
|
|
# Verify rollback
|
|
ansible-playbook -i inventories/production site.yml --check
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Emergency Stop
|
|
|
|
If critical issues detected:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Stop deployment immediately (Ctrl+C)
|
|
# Assess damage
|
|
ansible-playbook playbooks/security_audit.yml --tags assess
|
|
|
|
# Initiate rollback if needed
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
