Many operational issues can be avoided by following best practices when designing the workload, and fixes are less expensive to implement in design phases rather than in production. Operations process and procedures must be thoroughly planned, tested, reviewed. Workloads should evolve and be changed in automated and manageable ways. Changes should be small, frequent, and incremental, all without impacting continuous operations. Operations teams must be prepared to respond to operational events and failures, and have processes in place to learn from them.
