SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Upgrade NemoClaw deployments end-to-end by automating version checks, host tooling updates, backup strategies, and conditional sandbox rebuilds to keep deployments current and secure.

Core Features & Use Cases

End-to-end upgrade workflow: detects current state, checks upstream differences, and orchestrates patches with safety guardrails.
Safe backups and validation: creates backups before destructive steps and verifies patch applicability.
Sandbox lifecycle management: triggers rebuilds when base images or tooling changes require it.
Orchestrated workflow coordination: coordinates cookbook updates, infrastructure services, and provider configurations.

Quick Start

Execute the upgrade workflow for a NemoClaw deployment to safely upgrade components and conditionally rebuild the sandbox.

FAQPage Schema

How do I safely upgrade a NemoClaw deployment across multiple phases?▼

To safely upgrade a NemoClaw deployment, the workflow automates version checks, host tooling updates, and conditional sandbox rebuilds while enforcing backups and patch validation before destructive steps.

What is the best way to rebuild the sandbox during a NemoClaw patching workflow?▼

The best way to rebuild the sandbox during a NemoClaw patching workflow is using conditional rebuilds that automatically trigger when base images or host tooling changes require a fresh environment.

Does the NemoClaw upgrade workflow create backups before applying patches?▼

Yes, the NemoClaw upgrade workflow creates safe backups before destructive steps and verifies patch applicability to ensure predictable outcomes and secure deployment patching.

Can I adjust .env configurations and update infrastructure services in one upgrade process?▼

Yes, you can adjust .env configurations and update infrastructure services in one process because the workflow orchestrates cookbook updates, provider configurations, and environment exports across multiple phases.

When do I need to trigger a sandbox rebuild for an infrastructure upgrade?▼

You need to trigger a sandbox rebuild for an infrastructure upgrade when upstream changes modify base images or host tooling, requiring a fresh environment to keep the deployment current and secure.

Why does my deployment upgrade require environment exports and patch validation?▼

Your deployment upgrade requires environment exports and patch validation because the workflow enforces these safety guardrails to verify applicability and ensure predictable outcomes before applying upstream changes.
