Overview

Axis exposes rollout control at `/api/rollouts/plan`, `/api/rollouts/apply`, and `/api/rollouts/rollback`.

Every successful step emits a signed receipt retrievable via `/api/rollout-receipts` APIs.

Endpoint Assumptions

  • Production auth and API host: https://axis.velikey.com (signin: https://axis.velikey.com/auth/signin).
  • Non-production override: set AXIS_BASE_URL explicitly before running docs commands.
  • Manual operator substitutions: provide tenant-scoped values for cookies, bearer tokens, agent IDs, and tenant slugs.

Actionable Steps

  1. Generate a plan with canary and maintenance window settings.
  2. Apply in dry-run first, then apply with explicit confirmation.
  3. Record and validate receipt IDs and rollback tokens.
# manual-only example
# production default; set AXIS_BASE_URL explicitly for staging/test.
export AXIS_BASE_URL="${AXIS_BASE_URL:-https://axis.velikey.com}"
export SESSION_COOKIE="axis-session=REDACTED"

curl -fsS -X POST "$AXIS_BASE_URL/api/rollouts/plan" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Cookie: $SESSION_COOKIE" \
  -d '{"policyId":"policy-prod-001","canaryPercent":5,"explain":true}' | jq

curl -fsS -X POST "$AXIS_BASE_URL/api/rollouts/apply" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Cookie: $SESSION_COOKIE" \
  -d '{"planId":"plan-001","dryRun":false,"confirm":true,"confirmation":"APPLY"}' | jq

Validation Checks (Last Step)

# executable example
command -v curl
command -v jq
date -u +"%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ"

Timestamp capture is useful when correlating rollout events to receipt timelines.

Common Failure Modes

  • Non-dry-run apply without `confirm=true` and `confirmation="APPLY"` is rejected.
  • Rollback without `confirmation="ROLLBACK"` is blocked server-side.
  • Operators capture plan/apply output but fail to persist receipt IDs for audit evidence.
