- Record admin access, DNS, route, firewall, fallback, backup, and out-of-band recovery state.
- Confirm what change is safe to roll back without losing operator access.
Rollback and recovery
Risky network changes need a known-good path back.
The Gateway release readiness requires rollback notes before applying routing, DNS, firewall, fallback, or remote access changes.
- Stop new changes, restore firewall/DNS/routes, verify local connectivity, then verify management access.
- Run route and DNS checks before declaring recovery complete.
- Document the failed change, observed behavior, evidence, remaining risk, and next safe attempt.
- Keep public reports redacted.
