Log Sanitation: Sensitive data (PII) is removed from structured logs.
SLIs/SLOs: Critical alerts configured and connected to the on-call rotation (PagerDuty).

4. Disaster Recovery (DR)

High Availability: Set isHighlyAvailable: true in Helm values if applicable.
Failover: Test cross-region failover protocols.

Verification

Staging Batch: Successfully deployed and validated in the staging environment.
