Deliverables​

Produce all of the following:

1. Executive architecture​

One page explaining the target state and business outcomes.

2. Logical architecture​

Show sources, integration, domains, spaces, semantic layers, consumers, governance, and operations.

3. Physical implementation​

Map logical responsibilities to actual Datasphere capabilities and connected platforms.

4. Migration roadmap​

Define waves, dependencies, coexistence, reconciliation, cutover, and retirement.

5. Security model​

Define identity, roles, spaces, data access controls, sharing, exposure, and audit.

6. Operating model​

Define ownership, SLOs, incident response, release management, and capacity governance.

7. FinOps model​

Explain capacity drivers, cost controls, and review mechanisms.

8. ADR pack​

Create at least ten architecture decision records.

Defense​

You must be able to defend:

  • why Datasphere
  • why the space topology
  • why federation versus replication
  • why the semantic boundaries
  • why BW bridge or native redesign
  • why the security model
  • why the migration order
  • how the platform recovers
  • how cost is controlled
  • what would make you redesign it
