Enterprise Agent Ops

Operational Domains

1. runtime lifecycle (start, pause, stop, restart)
2. observability (logs, metrics, traces)
3. safety controls (scopes, permissions, kill switches)
4. change management (rollout, rollback, audit)

Baseline Controls

• immutable deployment artifacts
• least-privilege credentials
• environment-level secret injection
• hard timeout and retry budgets
• audit log for high-risk actions

Metrics to Track

• success rate
• mean retries per task
• time to recovery
• cost per successful task
• failure class distribution

Incident Pattern

1. freeze new rollout
2. capture representative traces
3. isolate failing route
4. patch with smallest safe change
5. run regression + security checks
6. resume gradually

Deployment Integrations

• PM2 workflows
• systemd services
• container orchestrators
• CI/CD gates
