The outcome
Give authenticated users a recoverable AI workspace without exposing provider keys, registrations, conversations, files, or administration surfaces.
Step by step
A workflow you can repeat.
- 01
Define users, tenants, domain, regions, providers, data classes, authentication, registration, database, vector and object storage, retention, SLO, backup, and incident ownership.
- 02
Pin reviewed container images and configuration, deploy PostgreSQL with vector support, private object storage and supported SSO, use HTTPS, and restrict databases and administration to internal networks.
- 03
Store provider and application secrets outside images and source, disable open registration, assign least privilege, separate environments, set resource limits, and redact logs and traces.
- 04
Test login and logout, tenant and file isolation, provider-key leakage, uploads, knowledge retrieval, failed storage, database migration, restore, dependency outage, rate limits, and account removal.
- 05
Canary pinned updates, back up before migrations, verify restore on a separate instance, monitor access and spend, rotate secrets, and delete retired files, sessions, buckets, volumes, and accounts.
Working standard
What good use looks like.
- Never expose an unauthenticated instance.
- Back up before every migration.
- Test tenant isolation and restore.
