Operational: The Forgotten Architectural View
Eóin Woods · IEEE Software · 2016
Most software architecture books focus on building new systems. However, successful systems spend much more time running in their production environment than being initially developed. That's why the DevOps movement's recent emergence is so heartening. It emphasizes development and operations staff working together as early as possible-sharing tools, processes, and practices to smooth the path to production. DevOps requires embracing new, often unfamiliar technologies and ideas. Architectural thinking and design can help clarify who the stakeholders are, what concerns they have, and how those concerns are being met.
