title: Ongoing Operations
owner: <%= vars.product_name %> Documentation
---



The topics in this section explain how to perform routine operations on a running <%= vars.first_product_name  %> platform.

##<a id='overview'></a>Overview

Ongoing operations are procedures that <%= vars.product_name %> operators routinely perform to keep the platform working as it should, or to change how it works if the platform needs to do something new or has a problem.

Examples include:

* Performing <%= vars.product_name %> upgrades
* Making changes to your IaaS and external components
* Monitoring platform health, checking logs and generating usage reports
* Tuning the platform eliminate bottlenecks or increase capacity
* Giving developers access to new software services, stacks, and app capabilities
* Backing up and restoring the platform

In addition to these tasks, <%= vars.product_name %> operators also routinely perform [Day 2 configurations](../customizing/day2.html) to configure or change platform features and integrations even well past Day 2.
