Monitor infrastructure
In the Prepare phase, you validated your infrastructure and tooling. In this Deploy phase, you should continue to validate that the infrastructure is still working as expected. Occasionally, a little tuning might be required to achieve the best results.
When monitoring infrastructure during deployment, review signals that indicate the status and progress of Windows feature upgrades. These signals can be observed through reporting resources such as:
- Windows Update for Business reports (Azure Workbooks)
- Microsoft Intune
- Windows Autopatch
As an example, if you configured Delivery Optimization in the Plan and Prepare phases, you can monitor its effectiveness during deployment. Use the Delivery Optimization report in the Windows Update for Business reports workbook to monitor how well it’s working across your organization.
Tip
Recommended deliverable:
Document your observations, particularly if some remediation might be beneficial.
Remediate infrastructure and tooling
If you identified any required infrastructure or tooling changes in the monitoring step, now is the time to implement them. Then continue to monitor to confirm that your infrastructure meets the expected performance.
Tip
Recommended deliverable:
Document any infrastructure and tooling changes made and the final validation results. Check: Do you need to get stakeholder approvals?
Sign off and update procedural documentation
Document the success, failure, and remediation of all steps you take regarding the infrastructure.
