What the ArchiMate Technology viewpoint places on the page The Technology viewpoint shows the software and hardware behind the application layer: system software drawn inside a node runs on that node, the realises arrow names the service that software provides, and a network joins the cloud site to the on-premises device.
What the ArchiMate Technology viewpoint places on the page
An ArchiMate 3.2 Technology viewpoint for London Grid Distribution, drawn as a containment map. On the left an Azure region node contains three white system-software panels: a Kafka event bus, a Kubernetes platform and a PostgreSQL cluster, so containment shows each runs on the node. Above the node an event streaming technology service is reached by a blue arrow labelled realises. On the right, under the header how sites connect, a connects to arrow runs from the node to an OT network, then down to a SCADA gateway device in the control room. A legend names the element types drawn. Source: ArchiMate 3.2 Specification, The Open Group.
