Last updated: May 13, 2025

The Change Management Policy outlines key roles and procedures for managing changes in your infrastructure and systems. Here are the important aspects of the policy to understand:

Key Roles

  • Change Management Owner - This role can be filled by various technical positions such as DevOps, Site Reliability Engineer (SRE), or Security Officer. The role is not tied to a specific job title but rather to the responsibility of overseeing changes.

  • Incident Manager - This is a temporary role assigned to the person responsible for managing a specific incident. It is not a permanent position.

Best Practices

  • Use Infrastructure as Code (IaC) practices as specified in the policy for managing infrastructure changes

  • Follow the detailed procedures outlined in the Change Management Procedures document when implementing changes
