- Server Operations
Rolling patch and reboot across a fleet
Monthly patching is coordinated by hand, takes a full maintenance window of attention, and stalls when one host misbehaves.
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
Resolve the target set and preview it before starting
- 2
Drain each host, patch, reboot and wait for health
- 3
Verify before moving to the next wave
- 4
Stop the run automatically when a wave fails
What the run verifies
A patched fleet with a per-host result and a run that halts on trouble instead of propagating it.
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.
- Turning an order into a verified running instanceProvisioning involves a dozen steps across several systems, and a missed step produces a machine that is unmonitored, unprotected or untagged.
- 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.
