Go live considerations

 Go live considerations, DNS switch, infrastructure

Hi Gary. John, Mike, Sergey and I met briefly today to discuss what will need to happen at the go live as far as infrastructure is concerned. Here are some items to go over.

 

  1. My understanding is that we are only switching www records for Avalon US and Avalon CA. No other sites like booking or my Avalon were effected/redone in sitecore and they will remain the same.

 

  1. We are not planning on having any kind of CDN between Ch and public sites

 

  1. Certificates are already in place and uploaded to Azure for prod

 

  1. Backups are done on prod CM and CD web apps every Friday and are kept for a month. I will need to double check if it includes Sitecore SQL databases backups.

 

  1. Auto scaling is not currently implemented on Sitecore instances. But we do need to address traffic concerns. I’ve included site traffic stats that you send earlier. These numbers suggest we should consider spinning up at least one more CD instance on prod. However additional costs might be involved and we wanted your input on that.

 

  1. John was asking about timing for go live.

 

  1. Sergey recommends restricting Prod CM to certain IP’s, such as Globus and XC networks, so it is not available to general public.

 

Thank you all!

Olga
