Infrastructure Model¶
This model describes how S-CORE infrastructure documentation is structured while the infrastructure is still evolving.
It keeps one primary organizing logic: Infrastructure Areas.
Why This Model Is Used¶
- It gives contributors and stakeholders one stable way to navigate the infrastructure landscape.
- It separates landscape description from work execution details.
- It supports honest status reporting without pretending all areas are mature.
Infrastructure Area Slices¶
| Infrastructure Area | Main Question This Area Answers |
|---|---|
| Source Code Infrastructure | How are repositories organized, governed, and maintained? |
| Build Infrastructure | How are builds and dependencies managed reproducibly? |
| Integration Infrastructure | How are pull requests and integration workflows validated automatically? |
| Artifact Infrastructure | How are reusable outputs versioned, stored, and distributed? |
| Testing Infrastructure | How are tests executed and reported across local and CI contexts? |
| Security & Compliance Infrastructure | How are license, SBOM, and vulnerability concerns integrated into workflows? |
| Documentation Infrastructure | How is infrastructure documentation maintained, validated, and published? |
| Infrastructure Operations | How are monitoring, maintenance, and incident handling managed? |
Model Layers¶
- Area layer: the infrastructure landscape, boundaries, and purpose
- Work package layer: current state, active work, and planned work
- Guide layer: practical how-to instructions linked to one or more areas
- Architecture layer: concepts that apply across multiple areas
Relationship To Work Packages¶
Work packages are not a separate navigation backbone. They are execution units connected to infrastructure areas.
- Use Infrastructure Development Map for a concise progress view.
- Use Work Breakdown Structure for detailed status lists.
Capability View As Supporting Context¶
Earlier documentation used a capability-map-heavy entry model. That idea remains useful as architecture context, but area-based navigation is now primary for day-to-day usage.
