  The strategies for and the performance of the CMS tracker alignment during
the 2021-2022 LHC commissioning preceding the Run 3 data-taking period are
described. The results of the very first tracker alignment after the pixel
reinstallation, performed with cosmic ray muons recorded with the solenoid
magnet off are presented. Also, the performance of the first alignment of the
commissioning period with collision data events, collected at center-of-mass
energy of 900 GeV, is presented. Finally, the tracker alignment effort during
the final countdown to LHC Run 3 is discussed.
