Framework #135 — Control Plane Ownership Boundary

GitOps
Boundary
Mapper

When Terraform, ArgoCD, and Kubernetes controllers can all modify the same infrastructure, authority drift is not a configuration problem. It is an ownership problem. Map who controls desired state — before an incident forces you to find out.

Block 01 — Declare Ownership
For each domain, declare the owner, enforcement system, and when ownership was last reviewed. Status updates in real time.
Owned
Contested
Unowned
Stale
Domain Owner (Desired State) Enforcement System Last Reviewed Status
Block 02 — Declare Change Path
Select every hop in your infrastructure change pipeline. Each hop is a boundary. Each boundary is an authority transfer.

Declare ownership for at least 6 domains and select your change path to run.

Declare ownership and run analysis to map your authority boundaries

Modern Infrastructure & IaC — Next Steps

THE MAPPER SURFACES THE BOUNDARIES.
A REVIEW RESOLVES THEM.

Mapping authority identifies where ownership has fractured. Closing the gaps requires declaring authority explicitly, resolving contested zones, and building a control plane architecture that survives incident pressure — not just normal operations.

Infrastructure Architecture Review

A structured review against your boundary map findings — identifying the specific ownership gaps, contested zones, and authority structure the architecture must resolve.
