Discussion: Writing runbooks that work at three in the morning
Entries
Copy-pastable mitigation commands in a runbook are a hazard when they are executed without understanding at three in the morning — exactly the situation the article optimises for. Commands that change state should be wrapped in scripts with preconditions and confirmations, so that the runbook says 'run the rollback script' rather than listing raw commands. The article's format encourages the risky form.
