Maintenance Information:

Quarterly Maintenance Window Schedule:

**Proposed Schedule**

Scheduled Date	Eastern Time Zone	British Time Zone
July 21, 2017	3pm - 5pm - Daylight Time (UTC - 4)	20:00 - 22:00 - Summer Time (UTC + 1)
October 11, 2017	3pm - 5pm - Daylight Time (UTC - 4)	20:00 - 22:00 - Summer Time (UTC + 1)
January 17, 2018	3pm - 5pm - Standard Time (UTC - 5)	20:00 - 22:00 - Greenwich Mean Time (UTC + 0)

Standard Action Items:

• Apply non-security patches to infrastructure systems.
• Apply Application patches to: Nagios, Jenkins, AWX, etc.

Backups:

The following items are stored in GitHub.

• Source code, System deployment scripts (Ansible), Instructions/How to Information

Description	Storage Location	Frequency
Jenkins (ci) - Configuration and Settings	localhost /mnt/backup-server/jenkins_backup	Daily
Jenkins (ci-jck) - Configuration and Settings	localhost /mnt/backup/	Daily
Nagios - Configuration and Settings	localhost /root/backups	Weekly
AWX - Configuration and Settings	not currently backed up	N/A

Questions:

Backup schedule:

• How often should be backup?
• Where should it be stored?

Backup retention:

• How long should be keep it?
• How many copies?

OS Patch Management:

Most of our systems are internet facing and we need to stay vigilant of the potential security risks this presents.

Patch Management Time Frame:

Vulnerability Type	Time Frame
Critical severity	72 hours or less
High severity	7 days
Moderate and low severity	60 days

• Nagios is configured to monitor each system and report on the status of OS patches required.
• Non-infrastructure systems are configured to automatically apply all patches. (Sundays at 5am local host time)
• Infrastructure systems are configured to automatically apply security patches only. (Sundays at 5am local host time) This information is logged on the localhost: /var/log/apt-security-updates

Application Updates:

• During our quarterly maintenance window application patches will be applied manually.
• When a critical or high severity vulnerability is announced patching will take place within the time frame stated above.
