Are we assuming that any failure detected by monitoring (D) counts as a major enough incident for a postmortem? Because sometimes instances fail but the service is still up. Also, does a rollback triggered by the CD pipeline (E) always imply an outage or data loss, or could it just be a safe precaution? The question doesn’t clarify if these are threshold-level incidents or minor blips. Without that, it’s tricky to pick which should definitely trigger a postmortem.
