Summary

Systems Architecture focuses on defining the technical blueprint for infrastructure, CI/CD, deployment strategies, and observability across the enterprise — establishing reference architectures, standardization patterns, and long-term technical direction. Distinct from sibling SRE/reliability-engineering focuses (which own measurable reliability targets such as SLOs/SLIs/error budgets and on-call operations) and platform-build/automation focuses (which implement pipelines and IaC day-to-day), this focus emphasizes architectural decision-making, cross-team reuse, and aligning infrastructure design with enterprise architecture principles. This focus consumes reliability constructs as architectural inputs but does not own the operational reliability budget.
