HOL Guard Extensions
Use cases
Reviewed workflows that turn real HOL Guard catalog coverage into step-by-step guidance — what a workflow is for, when it is the wrong fit, and which documented coverage each step relies on.
Every step below references coverage documented in the HOL Guard extension catalog. These workflows are derived from reviewed catalog facts, not independently run or benchmarked — verify the result in your own setup before relying on it.
Deploy and remote operations
Data and backups
Data and backups
Keep backup jobs from deleting the backups they protect
Route backup retention, prune, and purge commands through review so a bad cron entry or a hallucinated cleanup cannot erase recovery points.
Data and backups
Guard object storage sync and deletion across clouds
Make cross-cloud object deletion and sync-with-delete operations require a decision instead of running from a script unnoticed.
Data and backups
Make database drops and destructive restores a deliberate decision
Add a review checkpoint in front of the database commands that discard state, so a migration window cannot turn into an outage.
Package installs
Cloud infrastructure
Cloud infrastructure
Turn cloud teardown into a deliberate decision
Require a review before cloud resources are permanently deleted, whether the delete comes from a CLI, an IaC destroy, or a DNS change.
Cloud infrastructure
Keep cluster mutations and remote debugging reviewable
Route cluster mutations, in-container execution, tunnels, and Helm lifecycle changes through review before they hit the cluster.
