Managed Linux: evidence to ask for before delegating
Credible managed infrastructure is more than an availability promise: it shows the inventory, monitored alerts, patch rhythm, restore tests and incident procedure.

Ask for a living inventory
Services, domains, certificates, databases, backups and dependencies need an owner and criticality. Without that map, alerts are hard to rank.
Connect every alert to an action
- An understandable threshold.
- A person to notify.
- A documented first check.
- An escalation rule.
Test the return to operations
Schedule both partial and full restoration. Observed recovery time is worth more than a theoretical promise.

Frequently asked questions
Who should retain administrator access?
The client should keep controlled emergency access. Named accounts, logs and revocation belong in the access procedure.
Is a daily backup enough?
No. You need its scope, retention, separation from the primary system and, above all, a tested restore.
Is Docker necessary everywhere?
No. It helps where reproducibility and isolation genuinely reduce operating risk.
