Phase 20 — Lifecycle, DevOps & Enterprise Operations
This phase turns Datasphere modeling into an operated enterprise platform. The focus is not simply moving objects between tenants; it is controlling change, validating releases, automating repeatable work, operating production safely, and making recovery and cost decisions explicit.
Architecture outcome
By the end of this phase you can design:
DEV -> TEST -> PROD landscapes, transport routes, release gates, automated validation, operational ownership, recovery procedures, and capacity controls.
Learning sequence
- Lifecycle mental model
- Transport and content lifecycle
- DEV, TEST and PROD topology
- Versioning and change management
- DevOps automation
- APIs and CI/CD
- Testing and reconciliation
- Release management
- Production SRE
- Recovery and business continuity
- Capacity and FinOps
- Enterprise operating model
- Troubleshooting labs
- Architect playbook
Architect principle
Transporting an object is not the same as releasing a capability. A production release includes dependencies, security, connections, runtime configuration, data readiness, validation, observability and rollback planning.
