Operate what exists today.
Orbita does not yet ship a complete production operator kit. These procedures support evaluation and upgrade testing; dashboards, alert thresholds, backup/restore, and common incident runbooks are roadmap work.
Check the cluster

Rolling upgrade
Follow docs/UPGRADES.md. Readiness gates the rollout, and finalizing a cluster version is a one-way operation. Restore tooling does not yet exist, so do not finalize an evaluation cluster you may need to downgrade.
Object-store CI incidents
The repository includes a focused live object-store CI runbook for credentials, AWS/R2 checks, and Terraform state. It is not a general production-cluster runbook.
Missing runbooks
- Backup and point-in-time restore
- Node data-directory loss
- Quota saturation and capacity thresholds
- WAL lag and failover alerts
- Security credential and certificate rotation
Track this work on the roadmap.
