Linux Server Deployment SOP
Purpose
Standardize secure deployment and handover of supported Linux servers.
Decision Summary
Mandatory CSI deployment control for applicable work; client-specific implementation requires approved scope and change authorization.
Use Cases
Physical/virtual Linux application, file, database, monitoring, automation and infrastructure servers.
Field Notes
Unsupported/EOL distributions, default passwords, shared administrator accounts, exposed SSH, untested backups and undocumented custom kernels are prohibited.
Hardware Requirements
Supported server hardware/VM, ECC where practical, mirrored or protected storage, UPS for physical hosts, management access and backup target.
Backup Strategy
Preserve configuration, credentials references, certificates/keys, application data and deployment documentation according to the workload-specific RPO/RTO.
Recovery Strategy
Maintain a documented rollback and tested restoration path before production change; validate service, data, access and monitoring after recovery.
Secure Boot Notes
Secure Boot should remain enabled when the selected distribution and required drivers/modules support it. Any exception requires documented approval.
Version History
v1.0 created 2026-08-04 as the baseline CSI deployment and validation procedure.
