36 Ops Strategies: Permissions, Documentation, and Capacity Management
The article shares practical operations lessons—from periodic permission audits and thorough documentation to capacity monitoring, log rotation, and automation—illustrating how systematic practices and tooling can standardize and streamline IT infrastructure management.
Permission Review
Regularly audit sensitive permissions and promptly remove access for departed or transferred staff to prevent unauthorized data exposure.
Documentation and Handover
Maintain detailed documentation and a wiki for all operational tasks; written records reduce friction during handovers and ensure continuity.
Capacity and Log Management
Implement capacity monitoring (CPU, memory, disk) and log rotation to avoid disk exhaustion; automate checks with scripts or monitoring tools such as Zabbix or Nagios.
Tooling and Automation
Adopt configuration‑management tools like Ansible, CI/CD pipelines with Jenkins, and scripted deployments to streamline repetitive tasks and improve reliability.
Standardization
Standardize environments and processes across servers—e.g., using Windows AD for account management—to achieve a clean, consistent production landscape.
These combined practices form the core of the "36 Ops Strategies" handbook, helping teams move from ad‑hoc troubleshooting to a disciplined, automated operations culture.
