2.7 Quick Start Completion Checklist

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

You can consider Quick Start complete when all are true:

  • Project exists and is active in project selector.
  • At least one agent is online and assigned correctly.
  • At least one release source or storage is configured and testable.
  • One blueprint runs successfully end-to-end.
  • One release is created and linked to live pipeline execution.
  • Logs and audit events are visible for executed actions.

At this point, proceed to:

  • Blueprints advanced syntax (if, allow_failure, artifacts, typed inputs).
  • Roles and permissions hardening.
  • Approval policy and rollback strategy.
  • API-based automation for external systems.
