How to use it
Operator workflow
- 01
Open Compose from the administrator panel and review the current state.
- 02
Set the specific configuration that expresses the desired compose outcome.
- 03
Save deliberately, then follow the operation, activity, health, or runtime observation that confirms the result.
- 04
Keep the before-and-after evidence in Activity and verify the workload path before relying on the change.
What Forge owns
Boundary and safety
Advanced controls can affect placement, traffic, certificates, providers, and runtime behavior. Validate in a non-critical environment before applying them to production workloads.
Review the affected node, workload, route, or secret before saving. Capture state and health evidence before changes that affect data or public traffic.
Before you finish
Verification checklist
- The operator has the required administrative role.
- The intended node, workload, or project is selected.
- The resulting operation or observation reaches a terminal state.
- A rollback path exists before changing production traffic or storage.
