14.3 Delay and Trigger Rules

Orbnetes deployment and release orchestration documentation for operators and platform teams.

Rollback delay introduces controlled wait before rollback execution.

Why delay exists:

  • allow transient systems to settle,
  • allow short-lived dependencies to recover,
  • provide manual intervention window before automatic rollback starts.

Trigger timing model:

  • release execution reaches evaluation point,
  • failure condition matches policy,
  • system waits configured delay,
  • rollback release is created/executed.

Operational guidance:

  • keep delay short for high-availability critical services,
  • use moderate delay when post-deploy checks need warm-up time,
  • avoid very long delays unless business process requires manual review window.

Practical recommendation: pair delay with explicit health-check job for predictable trigger behavior.
