Frameworks That Work As Hard As You Do
Architecture
Kubernetes requires coordination between Operations and Development to explicitly define and explain new conditions for application development and deployment.
This map focuses on your current environment to identify ways to optimize your Kubernetes environment. Simple changes can significantly improve performance.

Applications
There are so many flavors of applications that it is important to identify what different applications have in common and then define what makes them unique.
This map focuses on identifying “low risk, low lift” applications to migrate to Kubernetes. This lets you tweak any issues you might discover regarding CPU consumption, storage, and other factors.

Scalability
The goal of Kubernetes is to scale three ways:
- Does your infrastructure scale reliably and securely?
- Does your Kubernetes environment autoscale?
- Do your Kubernetes applications self-heal?
This map focuses on understanding the temporal requirements of applications using your environment.

Storage & Backup
Data is like gold to an organization. It’s precious and needs to be protected.
This map focuses on exactly where data resides (Object, Block, or File) and the nature of your backup plan. Be sure to identify the last time you tested a restore from a backup.

Disaster Recovery
There is nothing worse than facing disaster recovery. Everyone wants everything fixed and fixed now.
This framework focuses on uncovering gaps in a comprehensive disaster recovery plan. To maximize the value of this framework, list specific people (and their backups) responsible for executing each element of the plan.

Monitoring
Ephemeral clusters and oscillating applications make monitoring your Kubernetes environment health tricky.
This framework focuses on tools for visualization, tracing, and alerting. You may need multiple frameworks if monitoring is different between Production, Development, QA, and etcd.

Security
A new environment and new application deployment necessitates security changes in policy and processes.
This framework focuses on the 4C's of Kubernetes Security: Cloud, Clusters, Containers, and Code. Pay attention to how secrets, data clusters, authentication, and authorization are handled.
