Operate Nistor
Run a Nistor installation on Google Cloud day to day — access, backups, alerts, sizing, scaling, hardening and optional extras.
These pages are for the people who run a Nistor installation built from the reference root deployments/gcp (see
Install on GCP). Each page names the Terraform inputs it relies on, so that you can find them in
your copy of the root.
| Page | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Identity and access | Signing in through Identity-Aware Proxy, the first administrator, permissions in Nistor, service accounts |
| Backup and restore | What the root backs up, and how to restore the database |
| Monitoring and alerts | The 16 alert policies, how to turn them on, and what to do when one fires |
| Sizing | The inputs that set the size of each service and of the database |
| Scaling | How the services scale, and the quotas to check |
| Security hardening | Service accounts, secrets, network and the settings to tighten in production |
| Optional extras | Adding the MicroStrategy SDK, which the public image does not ship |
