Recover quickly from failed deploys with Rollback Commands in Knee CLI. A predefined rollback playbook triggers automatically or on demand, reverting services to a known good state. The workflow uses Ansible rollback patterns, inventory snapshots, and guardrails for safe, fast recovery. Plug into CI CD to standardize incident response and shorten MTTR with clear, human readable logs.
When deploys fail, teams scramble with ad hoc SSH fixes and stale runbooks. There is no single rollback path, approvals are slow, and state drift makes reverts risky. MTTR increases, customer impact grows, and audits lack a reliable record of what was rolled back and why.
Knee CLI wires a predefined rollback playbook to release pipelines. On failure, it selects the correct inventory and vars snapshot, validates guardrails, and executes an idempotent Ansible rollback with health checks. Options support canary or full revert, connection drains, and service validation. Results publish to tickets and pull requests with timestamps, diffs, and reason codes for fast confirmation and closeout.
