CAST AI Production Readiness Gate

Overview

Approve production only when identity, ownership, connectivity, observability, scaling safety, cost interpretation, rollback, and evidence are all explicit. An unchecked or unknown item is a stop, not a soft pass.

Prerequisites

• Exact production kube context and CAST AI organization/region
• Reviewed infrastructure plan and pinned artifacts
• Workload owners, SLOs, PDBs, HPAs, quotas, and maintenance window
• Incident, rollback, and support escalation owners

Instructions

Step 1: Verify identity and ownership

Use Read and Grep to prove cluster, organization, region, cloud account, IaC source, reconcilers, and secret references. Confirm one owner for node provisioning, vertical rightsizing, and each HPA.
