Getting started guide

## From choice to first deployment.

A good deployment is prepared. This framework helps you move from the catalogue to a controlled environment, without entrusting your private access.

01 / DEPLOYMENT

## Define the need.

List your application, its system, the necessary memory, the data volume and the expected traffic. Allow a reasonable margin for growth.

02 / DEPLOYMENT

## Confirm the configuration.

Check the Swiss location, resources, billing period and options. Confirm availability and delivery before scheduling a migration. Keep your configuration in the basket or export it for your records.

03 / DEPLOYMENT

## Prepare access.

After the real confirmation of your order and the service being made available, use unique credentials and a suitable administration method. Keep keys, order tokens and recovery codes in a private space. Share only the access that is strictly necessary.

04 / DEPLOYMENT

## Install and secure.

Update the system, configure the firewall and install your application. Check connection encryption, permissions and the separation between public and secret files.

05 / DEPLOYMENT

## Back up and test.

Create an independent backup and test a restoration. Check your application, access and alerts before opening real traffic.

06 / DEPLOYMENT

## Deploy, then maintain.

Perform the switchover, observe operation and keep a rollback procedure. Then schedule updates, backups and access reviews.
