   • Map all services and components
   • Document architecture diagrams
   • List all domains and endpoints

2. Gather configurations:

   • Cloud provider configs (sanitized)
   • Network topology
   • Security settings
   • Monitoring setup

3. Document procedures:

   • Deployment processes
   • Incident response
   • Disaster recovery
   • Change management

4. Collect metrics:

   • Service availability
   • Performance baselines
   • Cost analysis
   • Scaling patterns

Notes

Current State: This is a minimal baseline snapshot. The infrastructure is assumed to be functional based on the existence of the BlackRoad OS ecosystem, but specific details need to be collected.

Assumptions:

• Standard cloud-native architecture
• GitHub as primary code hosting and for archive
• Modern DevOps practices
• Security-first approach

Action Items:

1. Complete infrastructure audit
2. Document all components
3. Create architecture diagrams
4. Establish monitoring baselines
5. Document all procedures

This infrastructure snapshot will be significantly enhanced in future snapshots once comprehensive infrastructure documentation is completed.
