In short

How do I make sure a new Elastic Cloud cluster is production-ready before it launches?

WebRun checks a new Elastic Cloud cluster against a launch checklist, index templates, an ILM policy, alerting rules, and snapshot backups, and tracks each item on a Trello card. Once everything is confirmed, it messages the platform team on WhatsApp, so no cluster goes live missing a policy it needs later.

  • No cluster goes live missing an ILM policy or alerting rule
  • Every launch has a tracked Trello checklist instead of tribal knowledge
  • The team gets a WhatsApp all-clear the moment a cluster is ready

Questions, answered

Will it create the ILM policy or alerting rules itself?

No. WebRun only checks what's already configured and tracks what's missing. Creating policies or alert rules is left to a human.

What counts as ready to launch?

A cluster is marked ready once index templates, an ILM policy, alerting rules, and snapshot backups are all confirmed present. Anything missing stays open on the Trello card.

Does this run once or does it keep checking?

It runs when a new cluster is created and keeps checking until every item on the checklist is confirmed, then sends the WhatsApp all-clear.
