Deployment Guides

If you need to perform a specific deployment task, follow the relevant how-to guide. This section focuses on deploying the changes you made in the previous section.

All changes to servers should be made using Salt to ensure that changes are documented and reproducible; changes should not be made manually, which is undocumented and error-prone.

Maintenance Guides

This section describes how to perform tasks that don’t involve changes in Salt.

User Guides

This section contains documentation specific to our deployment of a given service. For generic documentation of a given service that we authored, follow the Docs links on this page.
