FAQ
Does this work for cloud and on-prem changes?
Yes. Cloud emphasizes blue-green deployments; on-prem emphasizes maintenance windows. The agent adapts runbooks to either.
Can the agent identify rollback risks?
Yes. Agent reviews change scope and dependency map to flag rollback steps that may be irreversible.
What plan supports an IT operations function?
Business ($40/mo) handles enterprise IT with audit logs and dedicated change-management workflows.
