Application delivery boundaries
Define application services, image sources, environments, deployment responsibilities, and the approval path for a release.
Bring repeatable application delivery into a private environment, with persistence, access, and operational responsibility considered alongside the runtime.
Define application services, image sources, environments, deployment responsibilities, and the approval path for a release.
Identify stateful services, storage ownership, backup coverage, and the order in which application dependencies need to return.
Plan application entry points, certificates, service-to-service connections, and private access around actual user and integration requirements.
Define how secrets, configuration, logs, resource limits, and runtime updates are managed. Connect alerts to an operating owner.
Key inputs and operating decisions to establish for your environment.
| Design area | What we review together |
|---|---|
| Application fit | Supported container images, service dependencies, and repeatable deployment workflows. |
| Platform choice | Runtime and orchestration requirements are selected during architecture planning. |
| Stateful services | Persistence, data consistency, backup, and restore ownership. |
| Delivery integration | Repository, release process, access roles, and rollback requirements. |
| Operational scope | Platform versus application maintenance, monitoring, and escalation. |
Container replacement does not replace a recovery strategy for the information the application uses.
A workload should drive the runtime and orchestration choices, not the other way around.
