QUESTION

How does Nuon handle complex one-time or periodic operational steps that require coordination across environments — things like certificate issuance, key material transfer, or rotation workflows?

ANSWER

These are handled through Actions — custom scripts that the Nuon Runner can execute inside the customer account, triggered by lifecycle events (pre-deploy, post-deploy) or run manually. Actions can call into the vendor's infrastructure with scoped, temporary permissions to fetch key material, inject it into the customer environment, or perform orchestration steps. They can also be used for things like database migrations: fetching a dump from an existing environment, staging it in a pre-signed bucket, and importing it into the new install — all without requiring standing permissions to the customer account.
