Most outages do not start during office hours. Handing over the night shift means someone who knows your systems is awake when they need attention.

Alerts that mean something

Tune monitoring until every alert asks for an action. A noisy alert that people learn to ignore is worse than none.

Security updates go in on a regular schedule: tested on a copy first, then applied in a window agreed with your team. Urgent fixes do not wait for the next window.
