Configuration drift vs baseline
Diff live config against a controlled baseline; highlight sensitive items and blast radius; suggest rollback snippets and change-record summaries to reduce untracked snowflakes.

Platform & release
5 cases Category 8 of 20
This band covers platform governance and release communication: environment drift, container resources and cost, disaster-recovery targets versus reality, certificate and domain lifecycle, and stakeholder-facing release notes. It complements Observability & incidents: planned releases and platform health versus live incident response. Agents can draft diffs and comms; changes still follow your approval pipeline.
In the case hub it is Platform & release (#cat-delivery).

In depth
Container / K8s resources and cost hints
Compare requests/limits to actual utilization with HPA and PDB in mind; flag idle volumes, load balancers, and image pull costs for rightsizing.
Disaster recovery drills and RTO/RPO
Record drill steps, actual recovery time and data loss window versus targets; list gaps with owners and budget lines for follow-up.
Certificate and domain expiry alerts
Track certificate chains, renewal jobs, and failure alerts; clarify DNS/registrar ownership so you do not renew TLS but let the domain lapse.
Release windows and change comms
Communicate windows, blast radius, rollback plans, and support scripts to internal and external audiences with consistent multilingual and timezone wording.
