Add "Best Practice" page ?

[udf2457]

It seems to me that the docs are missing a "best practice" page as there are currently lots of hints in the manual (either explicit or implicit) that really should be consolidated onto a "best practice" page.

For example:

• The implied best practice on the Updates Streams page that you should consider haivng testing and next canaries
• The implied best practice in relation to Zincati wariness that some nodes should have a more aggressive value for canary purposes
• Given CoreOS is a rolling distro, details on how to manage configs between releases (e.g. avoid issues with breaking changes in configs)
• Probably many tips and tricks for managing Butane files, perhaps especially around merge and replace.

I'm sure there's a bunch of things that battle scarred sysadmins have picked up over the years ? i.e. "I wish somebody told me that when I started using CoreOS".

The CoreOS devs also probably know which cupboards the skeletons are hidden in and could hint at things to avoid because they are flaky / not stable. 😉

I'm new to CoreOS but this sort of thing would be very useful when strarting from a greenfield deployment. People should not have to learn the hard way.
