Infrastructure Verification
Validation Framework
This infrastructure architecture will be validated using the comprehensive infrastructure-checklist.md, with particular focus on Section 12: Architecture Documentation Validation. The checklist ensures:
- Completeness of architecture documentation
- Consistency with broader system architecture
- Appropriate level of detail for different stakeholders
- Clear implementation guidance
- Future evolution considerations
Validation Process
The architecture documentation validation should be performed:
- After initial architecture development
- After significant architecture changes
- Before major implementation phases
- During periodic architecture reviews
The Platform Engineer should use the infrastructure checklist to systematically validate all aspects of this architecture document.
