Abstract: In today's fast-paced business world, companies often undergo frequent changes to their Information Technology (IT) infrastructure to keep up with the evolving technology landscape. However, these changes can also introduce new risks and vulnerabilities, potentially leading to system downtime, data loss, and other consequences. To mitigate these risks, many organizations implement an infrastructure changes freeze during critical events. In this paper, we explore the benefits and drawbacks of establishing an infrastructure changes freeze, and provide recommendations for effective implementation.
This technical paper discusses the steps necessary to implement an IT infrastructure changes freeze. The paper outlines the key steps involved in implementing a freeze, including determining the freeze period, identifying critical systems, establishing freeze policies, communicating the freeze, explore the benefits and drawbacks, and monitoring the freeze process. By following these steps, organizations can ensure that critical systems remain stable during critical events and periods of high demand, while minimizing disruption to business operations.
