Physical Architecture View Template
Documenting how logical components map to physical infrastructure, servers, networks, and deployment targets
The Physical Architecture View template provides a structured approach to documenting how logical components map to physical infrastructure, servers, networks, and deployment targets.
Template Sections
This template includes 7 sections.
Physical Architecture Overview
Describe the physical hosting model (cloud, on-premise, hybrid), the infrastructure platforms used, and the rationale...
Physical Architecture Diagram
Diagram section
Environment Configurations
Document the key differences between development, staging, and production environments including sizing, security, and...
Infrastructure Requirements
Define the physical infrastructure requirements: compute capacity, storage, network bandwidth, and latency constraints
Recovery Specifications
Define recovery point and recovery time objectives for each critical component in the physical architecture
Infrastructure Operations
Document operational considerations: patching schedules, scaling procedures, backup strategy, and monitoring...
Physical Architecture Risks
Document risks: single points of failure, capacity limits, vendor dependencies, and disaster recovery gaps
