Infrastructure / operational tools

A system's architecture includes how it deploys and runs. These tools turn manifests into evidence about deploy units, runtime topology, deploy-time coupling, and supply-chain risk — the operational and security dimensions a source-only review would miss.

Evidence dimensions: operational and security/supply-chain.

When to use

Use when the system map finds Helm charts, Kustomize bases, raw k8s manifests, Terraform/OpenTofu, Dockerfiles, CI workflows, policy files, or SBOM/vulnerability scan inputs. Render and validate before judging — a chart's values determine the real topology, not the template text. Never apply, deploy, delete, or destroy infrastructure unless the user explicitly approves that separate action.
