Operations¶
This section covers day-to-day operation of a Big Bang deployment that’s already running — monitoring, backup and recovery, upgrades, and troubleshooting. It does not cover initial deployment; see Getting Started for that.
What You’ll Find Here¶
Operating a running deployment breaks down into three areas:
- Day-to-day operations — cluster health, through monitoring.
- Lifecycle management — data protection through backup and restore, and moving through Big Bang’s two-week release cadence via planned upgrades.
- Issue resolution — troubleshooting guides organized by symptom, not by component, so you start from what you’re observing
