Hey Qlik Admins,
For Qlik Sense on Windows there is a massively useful resource in the Qlik Admin Playbook (https://adminplaybook.qlik-poc.com/) for administrators to guide them in administering a Qlik Sense site. However, more and more of our customers are moving to Qlik Cloud and a lot of tasks in the playbook do not translate directly to tasks in managing a Qlik Cloud tennant.
Is there a similar resource available for managing Qlik Cloud Tennants? If so, please share!
If not, please share below tasks (and if possible the cadence you suggest) for activities that could be in such a playbook, so that we can start formulating some best practices together. To start, I have gone through all the topics in the current playbook to see if I think they are applicable to Qlik Cloud and added some of the tasks I can currently think of that should be added:

Curious for your input!
Ps. My current focus is on the "Analytics Services" side of Qlik Cloud, but feel free to also suggest tasks for the "Data intergration" part if you have any.
