Task: Create Deployment Plan

Description

Create a comprehensive deployment plan for implementing the project in production environments, including infrastructure provisioning, CI/CD pipeline configuration, and operational monitoring.

Input Required

• System architecture documentation
• Environment requirements
• Release timeline
• Security and compliance requirements

Steps

1. Environment Planning

   • Define all required environments (dev, staging, production)
   • Document infrastructure requirements for each environment
   • Identify cloud services or on-premise resources needed
   • Define network architecture and security groups

2. Infrastructure as Code Development

   • Create IaC templates (Terraform, CloudFormation, etc.)
   • Define resource provisioning and configuration
   • Implement environment-specific configurations
   • Establish state management and versioning

3. CI/CD Pipeline Design

   • Design build pipeline stages and workflows
   • Define deployment strategies (blue/green, canary, etc.)
   • Configure automated testing integration
   • Implement approval gates and quality checks
   • Design rollback mechanisms

4. Security Implementation

   • Define IAM roles and permissions
   • Implement secrets management
   • Configure network security controls
   • Implement security scanning in the pipeline
   • Document compliance measures

5. Monitoring and Observability

   • Design logging architecture
   • Configure monitoring for infrastructure and applications
   • Set up alerting thresholds and notifications
   • Implement performance metrics collection
   • Create operational dashboards

6. Disaster Recovery Planning

   • Define backup strategies and frequency
   • Document restore procedures
   • Design high availability configurations
   • Create incident response procedures

7. Deployment Procedure Documentation

   • Document step-by-step deployment processes
   • Create operational runbooks
   • Define deployment verification procedures
   • Document troubleshooting guides

8. Review and Validation

   • Review plan for completeness and feasibility
   • Validate against security and compliance requirements
   • Ensure alignment with project timelines
   • Verify resource requirements are accounted for

Output

A comprehensive deployment plan document that includes:

• Infrastructure architecture diagrams
• CI/CD pipeline configurations
• Security controls and compliance measures
• Monitoring and observability setup
• Deployment procedures and runbooks
• Disaster recovery procedures

Validation Criteria

• Plan adheres to DevOps best practices
• Security and compliance requirements are addressed
• Automated deployment pipeline is fully defined
• Monitoring and alerting is comprehensive
• Rollback procedures are clearly documented
• Plan is aligned with project timelines and resources
