AI Incident Runbook Template for Platform Engineering
AI production incidents require immediate containment and clear escalation paths. This template defines a runbook structure with severity classification and recovery verification.
Implementation Steps
- Classify incident severity and set response SLA: critical (15-min), high (1-hr), medium (4-hr).
- Execute containment playbook: traffic reroute, model fallback, feature disable.
- Notify stakeholders via escalation matrix with incident commander assignment.
- Verify recovery with traffic metrics and quality thresholds before closing.
