OpenClaw Enterprise Deployment Checklist
OpenClaw Enterprise Deployment Checklist
This article synthesizes the deep‑dive, comparison, performance, security, observability, plugin, Moltbook, and migration guides into a clear, step‑by‑step checklist for large‑scale, production‑grade OpenClaw deployments.
1. Planning & Prerequisites
- Review the OpenClaw deep‑dive guide to understand architecture.
- Compare OpenClaw vs alternatives using the comparison guide to confirm fit.
- Assess hardware requirements from the performance guide (CPU/GPU sizing).
- Define security baselines per the security guide (network, IAM, encryption).
- Identify observability needs using the observability guide (metrics, logging, tracing).
- Plan plugin integration following the plugin guide and Moltbook guide for custom skills.
- Outline migration steps from existing deployments using the migration guide.
2. Infrastructure Setup
- Provision servers (bare‑metal, VM, or cloud) as per performance recommendations.
- Configure firewall, VPN, and zero‑trust networking (security guide).
- Set up monitoring stack (Prometheus, Grafana) per observability guide.
- Deploy OpenClaw using the UBOS installer or Docker/Podman as described in the deep‑dive.
3. Configuration & Optimization
- Apply performance tuning parameters (CPU affinity, GPU drivers).
- Enable security hardening (TLS, secret management).
- Integrate required plugins and custom Moltbook skills.
- Validate migration scripts and data integrity.
4. Testing & Validation
- Run load tests to verify scalability.
- Check observability dashboards for health metrics.
- Perform security scans and penetration testing.
- Confirm plugin functionality and Moltbook skill execution.
5. Go‑Live & Ongoing Operations
- Switch traffic to the new deployment.
- Monitor performance and security continuously.
- Schedule regular backups and updates.
- Leverage the internal link to our hosted service for managed deployments: https://ubos.tech/host-openclaw/
Following this checklist ensures a robust, secure, and high‑performing OpenClaw enterprise deployment.
