4.2 Update Route 53

# Create hosted zone (if not already done)
aws route53 create-hosted-zone --name api.jga-os.example.com --caller-reference $(date +%s)

# Get hosted zone ID
ZONE_ID=$(aws route53 list-hosted-zones-by-name \
  --dns-name api.jga-os.example.com \
  --query 'HostedZones[0].Id' --output text)

# Create DNS record (alias to load balancer)
aws route53 change-resource-record-sets \
  --hosted-zone-id $ZONE_ID \
  --change-batch '{
    "Changes": [{
      "Action": "CREATE",
      "ResourceRecordSet": {
        "Name": "api.jga-os.example.com",
        "Type": "A",
        "AliasTarget": {
          "HostedZoneId": "Z35SXDOTRQ7X7K",
          "DNSName": "[LOAD_BALANCER_DNS]",
          "EvaluateTargetHealth": false
        }
      }
    }]
  }'

4.3 Enable TLS Certificate

# Install cert-manager
kubectl apply -f https://github.com/cert-manager/cert-manager/releases/download/v1.12.0/cert-manager.yaml

# Create Let's Encrypt issuer
kubectl apply -f - <<EOF
apiVersion: cert-manager.io/v1
kind: ClusterIssuer
metadata:
  name: letsencrypt-prod
spec:
  acme:
    server: https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory
    email: ops@jga-os.example.com
    privateKeySecretRef:
      name: letsencrypt-prod
    solvers:
    - http01:
        ingress:
          class: nginx
EOF

# Certificate will be auto-provisioned by ingress
# Verify with: kubectl get certificate -n jga-os

Step 5: CDN & Static Asset Publishing (Days 10-11)

5.1 Configure CloudFront

# Create CloudFront distribution
aws cloudfront create-distribution \
  --origin-domain-name "[LOAD_BALANCER_DNS]" \
  --default-root-object index.html \
  --with-config-file cdn-config.json

5.2 Update Route 53 for CDN

# Create CNAME for CDN
aws route53 change-resource-record-sets \
  --hosted-zone-id $ZONE_ID \
  --change-batch '{
    "Changes": [{
      "Action": "CREATE",

    expr: rate(http_requests_total{status=~"5.."}[5m]) > 0.05
    for: 5m
    annotations:
      summary: "High error rate on "

  - alert: RaftQuorumLoss
    expr: brics_raft_healthy_nodes < 2
    for: 1m
    annotations:
      summary: "Raft quorum lost - critical incident!"

  - alert: DataCorruptionDetected
    expr: brics_stitch_corruption_detected > 0
    for: 1m

# Verify all systems operational
kubectl get pods -n jga-os
kubectl get svc -n jga-os
kubectl logs deployment/brics-raft-primary -n jga-os | tail -20

# Verify compliance artifact is valid
kubectl get secret compliance-artifact -n jga-os -o jsonpath='{.data.artifact\.json}' | base64 -d | jq .

# Check DNS resolution
dig api.jga-os.example.com

11.2 Enable Public Access

# Update DNS TTL to 60 seconds
# Deploy cutover traffic gradually:
# - 10% traffic → 1 hour
# - 50% traffic → 2 hours
# - 100% traffic → 4 hours

# Monitor metrics throughout

11.3 Celebrate! 🎉

echo "JGA Enterprise OS is LIVE!"

Post-Launch Operations

Ongoing Monitoring

Per-minute: Health checks, error rates, latency
Per-hour: Compliance artifact expiration, backup status
Per-day: Security logs, audit trail, incident review
Per-week: Load test results, contractor activity
Per-month: Key rotation, dependency updates, security audit

Incident Response

Data Corruption: Auto-healing within 5 minutes (tested)
Credential Leak: Revoke + rotate within 15 minutes
Compliance Violation: Close gate + investigate within 1 hour
Security Breach: Escalate to incident commander + legal

Scaling

If load exceeds 1k contractors:

Increase replica count (Kubernetes HPA handles automatically)
Add additional State BRIC regions
Expand contractor training capacity

Rollback Plan

If critical issues occur post-launch:

Immediate (< 5 min): Close compliance gate to stop all transactions
Short-term (5-30 min): Failover to previous deployment slot
Long-term: Root cause analysis + fix + new deployment

# Rollback to previous image
kubectl set image deployment/brics-public \
  brics-public=[OLD_ECR_IMAGE] \
  -n jga-os

# Scale down new deployment
kubectl scale deployment brics-public --replicas=0 -n jga-os

Support & Escalation

On-Call Rotation: ops-team@jga-os.example.com

Severity Levels:

P1 (Critical): Any BRIC down, data loss, compliance violation
P2 (High): Degraded performance, security concerns
P3 (Medium): Operational efficiency, feature requests
