# Cloud DevOps/SRE

## ITOM Operation Platform 25.1

- > We have successfully upgrade Operation Platform 24.4 to 25.1 on EU3/US24 farm.
- > We're preparing the Operation Platform 25.2 cloud readiness work include to start support OpsB to use OP 25.2 in ITOM Cloud environment.
- > We are now continuing to work on the OP D2 enablement automation and the relevant operation runbook.
## ESM Cloud Application WAF Enablement

- > After some series of team efforts, it went through several processes of testing, modification, and deployment. We have now reached the criteria of Enable WAF denied mode with current WAF version on top of SMAX 24.4.1. 
We have enabled SMAX WAF in ‘**Denied Mode**’ on **::EU3::** and **::US7::** farm by end of Nov.
- > In addition, we are gradually turning on ‘**Observation Mode**’ in other farms to get more WAF log information to help us determine the effectiveness of blockings.
- > A new DevOps project was initiated to enhance WAF rules management & cloud deployment automation

## ESM GCP onboarding

- > Based on the business requirements, we started working with Cloud SA group and Product group on GCP onboarding for ESM. Currently, there are two main working threads which require product team support to certify ESM products deployment on GCP, and validation and experimentation for GCP OCF cloud architecture platform led by Cloud SA.

## Security & Compliance

- > At the request of Opentext GIS, the ESM Cloud Service Team has installed **Prisma Defender** on all ESM production farms in order to facilitate security scanning on the Cloud to provide more secure ESM SaaS services. - **::Done::**
- > We recently launched a new project on how to handle various OS-based security issues discovered by Qualys Scan. In conjunction with the upcoming adopt CCOE AMI project, we intend to centrally replace and update the existing Cloud Application's EKS worker node OS to meet higher security standards. - **::In Progress::**
