- VM Provisioning
- Workflow Orchestration
Turning an order into a verified running instance
Provisioning involves a dozen steps across several systems, and a missed step produces a machine that is unmonitored, unprotected or untagged.
The workflow
How StackHeal handles it
Each step is a registered action, a condition or an approval. Nothing here is a general-purpose command.
- 1
Normalise the order into a provisioning specification
- 2
Check entitlement, quota and placement policy
- 3
Build from the approved template through the platform API
- 4
Enrol in monitoring and backup, then verify every registration
What the run verifies
A machine that is reachable, monitored, backed up and correctly attributed — verified before hand-off rather than after a complaint.
Where a person stays involved
Any step that changes state can be configured to require an approval, and a run that cannot verify its own outcome escalates rather than closing. The confidence threshold, the blast-radius limit and the approver are all yours to set.

Other workflows teams build alongside this one
- Disk space exhaustion on a customer serverA ticket or alert reports a full or nearly full volume, and an engineer has to log in, find the cause and clear space.
- Nightly backup reconciliation across toolsBackup coverage is spread across several products and consoles, so an asset with no recent copy is invisible until a restore is needed.
- Scheduled restore testingNobody knows how long a restore takes or whether recovery points are usable, because testing is a project rather than a routine.
- Rolling patch and reboot across a fleetMonthly patching is coordinated by hand, takes a full maintenance window of attention, and stalls when one host misbehaves.
