Steve is the founder of Wagner, working to make cloud infrastructure machine-operable and autonomous. His guides connect engineering decisions with the needs of the business.
The articles draw on Wagner’s cloud delivery work and primary technical documentation. Practical examples are identified as exercises, and customer cases distinguish delivery facts from performance targets.
Guides by Steve
- What to get right before your next cloud deployment
Review cloud deployment readiness with an owner-and-evidence checklist, access checks, recovery gates, and a practical service example.
- Map the dependencies before you move the workload
Plan a data or cloud migration with a dependency inventory, CDC tradeoffs, data reconciliation checks, and a cutover and rollback runbook.
- A clearer first response when production is at risk
Coordinate cloud incident response with a severity matrix, first-response worksheet, evidence handling, and tested recovery gates.
