Operations Guide Introduction
Operations guide is a document for Jelastic PaaS service hosting providers. It is created with the purpose of describing the workflow of the operations process. There are two parties involved in this process:
- Hosting Provider (you)
- Jelastic Team
All of the major maintenance activities are listed in the table below and can be applied to the user/infrastructure hosts or containers. Most of the activities can be performed by Hosting Provider independently, while others require assistance from the Jelastic Operations team (contact via Jelastic Support) for the proper maintenance.
The table legend:
- Activity - a short description of the operation (click on the particular record to view the appropriate guide)
- User Host - host with user containers
- Infrastructure Host - host with the Jelastic infrastructure containers and other infrastructure elements
- Infrastructure Container - a container with a particular component of the Jelastic PaaS infrastructure
- Hosting Provider - this operation can be performed by yourself (according to the linked instruction)
- Jelastic Operations - this activity should be performed by the Jelastic Operations team (can be requested via Jelastic Support)
- N/A - an activity is not available for the appropriate element
