Update system packages sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y # 2. Configure automatic security updates sudo apt install unattended-upgrades sudo dpkg-reconfigure -plow unattended-upgrades # 3. Configure UFW firewall sudo ufw default deny incoming sudo ufw default allow outgoing sudo ufw allow ssh sudo ufw allow 80/tcp sudo ufw allow 443/tcp sudo ufw enable # 4. Install and configure fail2ban sudo apt install fail2ban sudo systemctl enable fail2ban sudo systemctl start fail2ban # 5. Disable root login and password authentication sudo sed -i 's/PermitRootLogin yes/PermitRootLogin no/' /etc/ssh/sshd_config sudo sed -i 's/#PasswordAuthentication yes/PasswordAuthentication no/' /etc/ssh/sshd_config sudo systemctl restart ssh # 6. Configure automatic security updates echo 'Unattended-Upgrade::Automatic-Reboot "true";' | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades echo 'Unattended-Upgrade::Automatic-Reboot-Time "02:00";' | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades ``` ### Docker Security Configuration **Production Docker Daemon Config:** ```json # /etc/docker/daemon.json { "live-restore": true, "userland-proxy": false, "no-new-privileges": true, "seccomp-profile": "/etc/docker/seccomp.json", "log-driver": "json-file", "log-opts": { "max-size": "10m", "max-file": "3" }, "storage-driver": "overlay2", "storage-opts": [ "overlay2.override_kernel_check=true" ] } ``` **Security Hardened docker-compose.yml:** ```yaml version: '3.8' services: webhook-service: build: . container_name: webhook-service-prod restart: unless-stopped # Security configurations read_only: true security_opt: -

Measurement: HTTP 200 responses / Total HTTP requests - Error Budget: 43.2 minutes downtime per month - Alerting: Alert if availability drops below 99.5% over 1 hour Latency SLO: 95% of requests < 500ms - Measurement: Response time distribution - Alerting: Alert if 95th percentile > 500ms for 5 minutes Error Rate SLO: <0.1% error rate - Measurement: HTTP 5xx responses / Total HTTP requests - Alerting: Alert if error rate > 0.5% over 5 minutes Security SLO: <10 authentication failures per day - Measurement: Failed authentication attempts - Alerting: Alert if >50 failures in 1 hour ### Key Performance Indicators **Business Metrics:** β–‘ Total webhook events processed per day β–‘ Notification delivery success rate (target: >99%) β–‘ Average response time (target: <100ms) β–‘ Cost per webhook processed β–‘ Mean time to detection (MTTD) for issues β–‘ Mean time to resolution (MTTR) for incidents β–‘ Infrastructure utilization efficiency β–‘ Customer satisfaction score ### πŸ“ž Production Support **Incident Response** ***Severity Levels:*** SEVERITY 1 - Critical (Service Down) Response Time: 15 minutes Resolution Time: 1 hour Actions: Immediate escalation, war room, customer communication SEVERITY 2 - High (Degraded Performance) Response Time: 30 minutes Resolution Time: 4 hours Actions: Team lead notification, monitoring increase SEVERITY 3 - Medium (Minor Issues) Response Time: 2 hours Resolution Time: 24 hours Actions: Standard troubleshooting, ticket tracking SEVERITY 4 - Low (Enhancement Requests) Response Time: Next business day Resolution Time: Per roadmap Actions: Backlog prioritization ### On-Call Procedures **24/7 Support Structure:** Primary On-Call: Initial response and triage Secondary On-Call: Backup coverage and escalation Engineering Manager: Resource coordination Senior Leadership: Business impact decisions Escalation Timeline: - 15 minutes: Auto-escalate if no response - 30 minutes: Escalate to secondary on-call - 1 hour: Escalate to engineering manager - 2 hours: Escalate to senior leadership ### πŸš€ Production Deployment Summary: **This production deployment guide provides enterprise-grade reliability with:** βœ… 99.9% Uptime Target -
