Domain definition
The Physical Domain contains the tangible assets of the system: devices, machines, locations, and connectivity. It provides the foundational infrastructure required to host digital platforms and facilitate physical operations.
Key decisions
- Where should physical resources be located (Datacenters vs. Edge)?
- What connectivity protocols are required for machine-to-machine interaction?
- How do we secure the physical supply chain for hardware?
- What is the strategy for multi-hybrid cloud hardware integration?
Common anti-patterns
- Infrastructure Fragility (single points of failure in hardware or network)
- Hardware Hoarding (over-provisioning physical resources unnecessarily)
- Physical Security Gaps (neglecting the safety of the environments hosting hardware)
Cross-domain dependencies
