Research and technical papers on contract-driven infrastructure operations, governed execution, recovery, authority, and reproducibility.
HybridOps defines an operation-level contract for outcomes that cross control planes: admission, runtime readiness, declared state handoff, authoritative completion, closure, and structured evidence.
Version 1.2 incorporates external review and maps the contract across four materially different evaluation paths: authority transfer, image publication, recovery, and network-lab continuity.
A publication contract for reusable machine images, evaluated across four operating-system families with disposable runtime exercise, logical publication, downstream consumption, and explicit retirement.
A continuity-aware lifecycle spanning EVE-NG, GNS3, and Containerlab, with private access, state preservation, fresh-host reconstruction, and continuity-gated compute release.
An executable control model for intent, observation, bootstrap authority, emergency change, and explicit authority transfer across hybrid infrastructure operations.
A governed recovery lifecycle spanning source and target authority, readiness, workload proof, service return, residual-state closure, and cost-bearing recovery resources.
Corrections and counterexamples are welcome. Each review thread links the paper to the relevant public implementation so technical observations can be assessed against the shipped runtime.
