Runbook Basics

A runbook is just a document. It can be as simple as a plain-text guide explaining how to restart a service or a fully automated workflow requiring minimal human input.

You can start with plain English and evolve from there. Maybe it’s a simple checklist for junior engineers, or maybe it’s a fully automated disaster recovery plan with embedded scripts and API calls.

Runbooks adapt to your workflow, not the other way around.
