• Define and enforce quality gates for IaC and platform changes (test strategy, regression coverage, environment promotion rules, peer review standards).
• Run release readiness and post-release validation (cutover checklists, smoke tests, monitoring verification, incident triage during release windows).
• Establish standards for release documentation and evidence capture (change records, test results, approvals, deployment traceability) aligned to control requirements.
• Coordinate dependencies across IAM, networking, security/compliance, platform engineering, and application teams; drive timely decisioning and escalation.
• Identify recurring release defects and process gaps; lead continuous improvement (root cause, corrective actions, automation of checks).
• Define operational handoffs (runbooks, support model, SLAs, knowledge base) and ensure teams are production-ready.
