EPIC Goal

• Platform engineers can efficiently deploy, configure, and manage RHDH instances across various environments (OCP, AWS, Azure, GCP) including air-gapped setups
• Platform engineers have access to proven reference architectures, high availability configurations, and operational best practices
• Plugin developers can quickly bootstrap new dynamic plugin projects with clear development environment setup instructions
• Both user personas have comprehensive guidance for testing, debugging, and troubleshooting their respective implementations
• Users can navigate from a single entry point to detailed, practical documentation organized in a tree-like structure
• Internal processes and approaches are documented with references to open-source implementations and upstream documentation

Background/Feature Origin

• Create comprehensive, practical cookbooks that provide step-by-step guides for platform engineers and plugin developers working with Red Hat Developer Hub (RHDH)
• Extend existing documentation with real-world scenarios, implementation approaches, and operational best practices
• Establish a centralized knowledge base that bridges the gap between high-level documentation and hands-on implementation

Out of Scope (Optional)

• Replacement of existing upstream or product documentation
• Comprehensive code tutorials (preference for linking to existing repositories)
• Basic RHDH concepts already covered in official documentation
• Generic Backstage documentation not specific to RHDH implementation

User Scenarios

• Cookbooks must address real-world enterprise deployment scenarios
• Air-gapped environment considerations must be included for security-conscious organizations
• Multi-cloud deployment scenarios should be covered for hybrid environments
• Role-based access patterns should reflect common enterprise organizational structures
• Integration examples should cover commonly used enterprise tools and systems

Dependencies (internal and external)

Acceptance Criteria

• Comprehensive deployment guides for RHDH across multiple platforms (OCP, AWS, Azure, GCP)
• Reference architectures and high availability configuration examples
• Step-by-step installation, upgrade, and configuration procedures
• Authentication and authorization (RBAC) implementation guides with practical examples
• Monitoring, logging, audit logging, and telemetry configuration instructions
• Security best practices and vulnerability management guidance
• Dynamic plugin management lifecycle documentation
• Plugin building, testing, and shipping processes from platform perspective
