Provisioning lifecycle deep dive with failure triage

Interpret each lifecycle stage and recover quickly from stuck states.

Lifecycle states

  • queued
  • provisioning
  • configuring
  • active
  • pending_manual
  • failed

Triage flow for failed state

  1. Capture server ID, region, timestamp.
  2. Confirm category/plan metadata.
  3. Retry provisioning once after validating prerequisites.
  4. If second attempt fails, open support ticket with exact error context.

Safe retry policy

  • Avoid repeated retries without new evidence.
  • Document previous attempt IDs/time.

Escalation payload

  • server id
  • plan slug
  • region
  • latest status transition time
  • steps already attempted
