Create Solution Architecture

Architect

1

Partition the System

• Choose architectural patterns.
• Create or update applications, endpoints, and connections.
• Validate the deployment.
• Create development tasks for architectural changes.

2

Determine Interfaces

• Design the interfaces.
• Define Web service interfaces.
• Create class interfaces.

3

Develop Threat Model

• Create an application overview.
• Partition your application.
• Identify the threats.
• Identify vulnerabilities.

4

Develop Performance Model

• Review the quality of service requirement.
• Identify the workload.
• Identify the performance objective.
• Identify the performance budget.
• Allocate the budget.
• Evaluate the budget.
• Validate the model.

5

Create Architectural Prototype

• Examine risks.
• Plan the approach.
• Build and execute the prototype.

6

Create Infrastructure Architecture

• Map the solution architecture.
• Adjust to the solution architecture.

The application diagram has been saved and checked in. If the solution architecture needs to be proven, an architectural prototype has validated key scenarios and quality of service requirements against the identified applications and the connections between them.

If warranted, a prototype is completed that mitigated a technology risk or validated the identified subsystems, the interfaces between them, and any key user interactions.

If a security objective has been addressed, any vulnerabilities have been scheduled for this or an upcoming iteration.

If the deployment environment has been determined, the saved and checked in logical datacenter diagram reflects the current deployment environment.
