A practical Hostilla.pl example

When maintaining a website, describe the expected result first and record the current configuration. SDLC can then be checked against application requirements, hosting limits, logs and a rollback plan.

What should you check?

  • the account, domain and expected result
  • software versions and required dependencies
  • a current backup or reversible change plan
  • logs and a repeatable verification after the change
