Episode 126 — Maintenance Mode and Alert Suppression Policies
In this episode, we discuss how maintenance mode and alert suppression policies help prevent unnecessary or false-positive alerts during planned system updates. Maintenance mode temporarily disables monitoring for specific resources, allowing patching, configuration changes, or hardware upgrades without triggering incident responses. Alert suppression policies can be tailored to mute certain alerts for known events while keeping critical notifications active.
We also cover best practices for scheduling maintenance, documenting changes, and ensuring monitoring resumes promptly after tasks are complete. On the Cloud+ exam, you’ll need to recognize how these practices maintain operational stability without disrupting workflow efficiency.
