Support walkthrough
Azure infrastructure and release support
Keeping Azure resources and release activity connected, so infrastructure and application teams have the evidence they need when a deployment or service needs attention.
My responsibility
I investigate Azure resources alongside release results, support Azure DevOps activity, and assist platform and application owners with Docker and AKS checks.
This walkthrough describes my support approach. Client information, environment identifiers, pipeline configurations and network details are kept private.
The situation
Where the investigation starts
A failed release can look like an application issue while the underlying problem is a virtual machine, storage dependency or network rule. Support needs to connect the deployment result with the state of the infrastructure and bring the right team into the investigation.
Investigation
The checks I work through
Confirm the affected service, deployment scope, timing, change record, user impact, and the last known healthy state
Review Azure VM, storage, virtual network, subnet, network security group, and load-balancer state where those resources are in the path
Compare the Azure DevOps pipeline or release result with infrastructure logs and application errors
Assist with Docker and AKS checks and involve the platform or application owner for changes outside the support team's scope
Verify the service after recovery and record the checks, decisions and follow-up work for the next release
Recovery
What I check before closing
Repeat the check for the affected service and confirm the original symptom has cleared
Review the relevant infrastructure health and deployment results after the approved recovery
Record the verification evidence and any follow-up work for the next release
