# Stella Ops Deployment Upgrade & Rollback Runbook
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
_Last updated: 2025-10-26 (Sprint 14 – DEVOPS-OPS-14-003)._
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
This runbook describes how to promote a new release across the supported deployment profiles (Helm and Docker Compose), how to roll back safely, and how to keep channels (`edge`, `stable`, `airgap`) aligned. All steps assume you are working from a clean checkout of the release branch/tag.
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
---
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
## 1. Channel overview
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
| Channel | Release manifest | Helm values | Compose profile |
 | 
						||
|---------|------------------|-------------|-----------------|
 | 
						||
| `edge`  | `deploy/releases/2025.10-edge.yaml` | `deploy/helm/stellaops/values-dev.yaml` | `deploy/compose/docker-compose.dev.yaml` |
 | 
						||
| `stable` | `deploy/releases/2025.09-stable.yaml` | `deploy/helm/stellaops/values-stage.yaml`, `deploy/helm/stellaops/values-prod.yaml` | `deploy/compose/docker-compose.stage.yaml`, `deploy/compose/docker-compose.prod.yaml` |
 | 
						||
| `airgap` | `deploy/releases/2025.09-airgap.yaml` | `deploy/helm/stellaops/values-airgap.yaml` | `deploy/compose/docker-compose.airgap.yaml` |
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
Infrastructure components (MongoDB, MinIO, RustFS) are pinned in the release manifests and inherited by the deployment profiles. Supporting dependencies such as `nats` remain on upstream LTS tags; review `deploy/compose/*.yaml` for the authoritative set.
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
---
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
## 2. Pre-flight checklist
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
1. **Refresh release manifest**  
 | 
						||
   Pull the latest manifest for the channel you are promoting (`deploy/releases/<version>-<channel>.yaml`).
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
2. **Align deployment bundles with the manifest**  
 | 
						||
   Run the alignment checker for every profile that should pick up the release. Pass `--ignore-repo nats` to skip auxiliary services.
 | 
						||
   ```bash
 | 
						||
   ./deploy/tools/check-channel-alignment.py \
 | 
						||
       --release deploy/releases/2025.10-edge.yaml \
 | 
						||
       --target deploy/helm/stellaops/values-dev.yaml \
 | 
						||
       --target deploy/compose/docker-compose.dev.yaml \
 | 
						||
       --ignore-repo nats
 | 
						||
   ```
 | 
						||
   Repeat for other channels (`stable`, `airgap`), substituting the manifest and target files.
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
3. **Lint and template profiles**
 | 
						||
   ```bash
 | 
						||
   ./deploy/tools/validate-profiles.sh
 | 
						||
   ```
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
4. **Smoke the Offline Kit debug store (edge/stable only)**  
 | 
						||
   When the release pipeline has generated `out/release/debug/.build-id/**`, mirror the assets into the Offline Kit staging tree:
 | 
						||
   ```bash
 | 
						||
  ./ops/offline-kit/mirror_debug_store.py \
 | 
						||
       --release-dir out/release \
 | 
						||
       --offline-kit-dir out/offline-kit
 | 
						||
   ```
 | 
						||
   Archive the resulting `out/offline-kit/metadata/debug-store.json` alongside the kit bundle.
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
5. **Review compatibility matrix**  
 | 
						||
   Confirm MongoDB, MinIO, and RustFS versions in the release manifest match platform SLOs. The default targets are `mongo@sha256:c258…`, `minio@sha256:14ce…`, `rustfs:2025.10.0-edge`.
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
6. **Create a rollback bookmark**  
 | 
						||
   Record the current Helm revision (`helm history stellaops -n stellaops`) and compose tag (`git describe --tags`) before applying changes.
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
---
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
## 3. Helm upgrade procedure (staging → production)
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
1. Switch to the deployment branch and ensure secrets/config maps are current.
 | 
						||
2. Apply the upgrade in the staging cluster:
 | 
						||
   ```bash
 | 
						||
   helm upgrade stellaops deploy/helm/stellaops \
 | 
						||
     -f deploy/helm/stellaops/values-stage.yaml \
 | 
						||
     --namespace stellaops \
 | 
						||
     --atomic \
 | 
						||
     --timeout 15m
 | 
						||
   ```
 | 
						||
3. Run smoke tests (`scripts/smoke-tests.sh` or environment-specific checks).
 | 
						||
4. Promote to production using the prod values file and the same command.
 | 
						||
5. Record the new revision number and Git SHA in the change log.
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
### Rollback (Helm)
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
1. Identify the previous revision: `helm history stellaops -n stellaops`.
 | 
						||
2. Execute:
 | 
						||
   ```bash
 | 
						||
   helm rollback stellaops <revision> \
 | 
						||
     --namespace stellaops \
 | 
						||
     --wait \
 | 
						||
     --timeout 10m
 | 
						||
   ```
 | 
						||
3. Verify `kubectl get pods` returns healthy workloads; rerun smoke tests.
 | 
						||
4. Update the incident/operations log with root cause and rollback details.
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
---
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
## 4. Docker Compose upgrade procedure
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
1. Update environment files (`deploy/compose/env/*.env.example`) with any new settings and sync secrets to hosts.
 | 
						||
2. Pull the tagged repository state corresponding to the release (e.g. `git checkout 2025.09.2` for stable).
 | 
						||
3. Apply the upgrade:
 | 
						||
   ```bash
 | 
						||
   docker compose \
 | 
						||
     --env-file deploy/compose/env/prod.env \
 | 
						||
     -f deploy/compose/docker-compose.prod.yaml \
 | 
						||
     pull
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
   docker compose \
 | 
						||
     --env-file deploy/compose/env/prod.env \
 | 
						||
     -f deploy/compose/docker-compose.prod.yaml \
 | 
						||
     up -d
 | 
						||
   ```
 | 
						||
4. Tail logs for critical services (`docker compose logs -f authority concelier`).
 | 
						||
5. Update monitoring dashboards/alerts to confirm normal operation.
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
### Rollback (Compose)
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
1. Check out the previous release tag (e.g. `git checkout 2025.09.1`).
 | 
						||
2. Re-run `docker compose pull` and `docker compose up -d` with that profile. Docker will restore the prior digests.
 | 
						||
3. If reverting to a known-good snapshot is required, restore volume backups (see `docs/modules/authority/operations/backup-restore.md` and associated service guides).
 | 
						||
4. Log the rollback in the operations journal.
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
---
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
## 5. Channel promotion workflow
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
1. Author or update the channel manifest under `deploy/releases/`.
 | 
						||
2. Mirror the new digests into Helm/Compose values and run the alignment script for each profile.
 | 
						||
3. Commit the changes with a message that references the release version and channel (e.g. `deploy: promote 2025.10.0-edge`).
 | 
						||
4. Publish release notes and update `deploy/releases/README.md` (if applicable).
 | 
						||
5. Tag the repository when promoting stable or airgap builds.
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
---
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
## 6. Upgrade rehearsal & rollback drill log
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
Maintain rehearsal notes in `docs/modules/devops/runbooks/launch-cutover.md` or the relevant sprint planning document. After each drill capture:
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
- Release version tested
 | 
						||
- Date/time
 | 
						||
- Participants
 | 
						||
- Issues encountered & fixes
 | 
						||
- Rollback duration (if executed)
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
Attach the log to the sprint retro or operational wiki.
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
| Date (UTC) | Channel | Outcome | Notes |
 | 
						||
|------------|---------|---------|-------|
 | 
						||
| 2025-10-26 | Documentation dry-run | Planned | Runbook refreshed; next live drill scheduled for 2025-11 edge → stable promotion.
