PagerDuty Incident Response Documentation

This is a public version of the Incident Response process used at PagerDuty. It is also used to prepare new employees for on-call responsibilities, and provides information not only on preparing for an incident, but also what to do during and after. See the about page for more information on what this documentation is and why it exists.

You can view the documentation directly in this repository, or rendered as a website at https://response.pagerduty.com.

Development

We use MkDocs to create a static site from this repository. For local development,

1. Install v0.1.0 of MkDocs Bootswatch pip install mkdocs-bootswatch==0.1.0
2. Install v0.1.1 of MkDocs Bootstrap pip install mkdocs-bootstrap==0.1.1
3. Install v0.15.3 of MkDocs. pip install mkdocs==0.15.3
4. Install v0.2.4 of the MkDocs Material theme. pip install mkdocs-material==0.2.4
5. Install MkDocs PyMdown Extensions. pip install pymdown-extensions
6. To test locally, run mkdocs serve from the project directory.

Deploying

1. Run mkdocs build --clean to produce the static site for upload.

2. Upload the site directory to S3 (or wherever you would like it to be hosted).

    aws s3 sync ./site/ s3://[BUCKET_NAME] \
      --acl public-read \
      --exclude "*.py*" \
      --delete
