Before

Announce at least 72 hours ahead, verify backup/restore evidence, freeze unrelated changes, confirm approvers, and capture baseline health/SLOs.

Updates

Post start, material delay, impact change, rollback, and completion timestamps. Do not expose credentials, internal addresses, or attacker details.

Completion

Record smoke/synthetic results, actual impact, follow-up owner, and the next customer-facing update. Close only after monitoring returns to baseline.
