# Proposal: Quick Fixes / Operational Tasks Documentation for Akash Providers

## Overview
This proposal aims to expand and enhance the existing Akash documentation by addressing several key operational tasks. These quick fixes are designed to improve the Akash provider experience, streamline workflow management, and ensure system stability. By providing detailed, step-by-step guides, this documentation will enable Akash providers to efficiently manage and optimize their infrastructure.

## Tasks

### 1. How to Terminate the Workload from the Akash Provider Using CLI
- **Objective**: Provide a comprehensive guide for terminating workloads via the Akash CLI.
- **Benefit**: Simplifies the process of shutting down unwanted workloads, ensuring that Akash providers can quickly free up resources and manage their systems effectively.

### 2. Kill Zombie Processes
- **Objective**: Document the steps for identifying and terminating zombie processes.
- **Benefit**: Helps providers prevent resource drain caused by zombie processes, improving system performance and stability.

### 3. Close Leases Based on Image
- **Objective**: Write a guide on automatically closing leases based on image versions.
- **Benefit**: Ensures that obsolete or outdated leases are closed efficiently, optimizing resource usage for Akash providers.

### 4. Force New ReplicaSet Workaround
- **Objective**: Provide documentation on forcing a new ReplicaSet when the current one fails or needs updating.
- **Benefit**: Improves reliability by ensuring that new ReplicaSets are deployed when needed, reducing downtime and maintaining system stability.

### 5. Dangling Deployments
- **Objective**: Document the process for identifying and cleaning up dangling deployments.
- **Benefit**: Frees up system resources by removing unused or abandoned deployments, improving the overall resource allocation on Akash.

### 6. Heal Broken Deployment Replicas by Returning Lost Command to Manifests
- **Objective**: Provide instructions on fixing broken deployment replicas by restoring lost commands to the manifests.
- **Benefit**: Helps restore system functionality and ensures that deployment replicas are running as expected, improving the Akash provider's operational reliability.

## Estimated Effort

- **Total Time**: 2 hours  
- **Rate**: $40/hour  
- **Total Budget**: $80

## Conclusion
By documenting these quick fixes and operational tasks, Akash will provide its provider community with actionable, clear, and concise guides that simplify complex tasks. These improvements will not only enhance provider operations but also contribute to the broader Akash ecosystem by demonstrating best practices in managing and optimizing provider infrastructure.
