Purpose

Structure the DPVP platform Phase 2 commercial opportunity and contract.

Updated opportunity framing

The expanded scope is a DPVP productisation and hybrid-service programme, not only a portal PoC.

Workstreams

Portal / Experience Plane — guided organisation/project lifecycle, service catalogue, approvals, aggregated Jira demand, inventory, configuration governance, operator workbench and audit.
Control and Execution Plane — service orders, durable workflows, policy, adapters, state, eventing, inventory/reconciliation, and gradual migration of application logic out of GitLab pipelines.
Hybrid onboarding — reusable VSSA on-prem site pattern covering connectivity, identity, inventory, security, telemetry, support boundaries, and degraded operation.
Complex services — governed compositions for on-prem backup, Kubernetes web applications, cloud DR, and hybrid observability.
Cross-cutting foundations — canonical schemas/contracts, IAM/workload identity, policy as code, configuration/inventory graph, FinOps, SRE, audit, testing, lifecycle/versioning, support and DPVP's own backup/DR.

Key design decisions

Model multiple Jira requests as demand records feeding one governed DPVP service order; do not merely merge tickets.
Build a cloud inventory/read model with freshness timestamps and reconciliation; do not query every cloud API synchronously from portal pages.
Treat global configuration as hierarchical, versioned, impact-analysed, approved, wave-based and rollback-capable—not a global YAML editor.
Do not choose “webserver vs cloud functions” globally: short stateless handlers may be functions; long-running provisioning needs durable orchestration and workers.
Migrate GitLab pipeline logic through a strangler pattern, one capability at a time.
Complex services are blueprints/compositions over atomic capabilities, each with lifecycle, security, identity, network, cost, operations and acceptance contracts.

Recommended commercial packaging

WP0 programme mobilisation and target architecture;
WP1 Portal/control-plane core;
WP2 one backend migration slice;
optional WP3 one hybrid site/lab pilot;
optional WP4 one complex-service pilot;
separate WP5 productionisation and managed operations.

Current recommendation

Name the opportunity “DPVP Platform Productisation and Hybrid Service Enablement — Phase 2.” Contract Portal + Control Plane + one backend migration slice as the core. Keep hybrid onboarding and one complex-service pilot as separately priced options pending architecture validation.

Local workspace

Canonical folder: /opt/data/workspaces/channels/dpvp-phase-2-opportunity/
All channel-owned artifacts must be kept beneath this folder, normally in artifacts/; do not place them directly in /opt/data/.
Workspace guide and migration record: README.md and organization-manifest.json.

Artifacts

Executive summary limited strictly to RootAtSkic's stated topics: /opt/data/workspaces/channels/dpvp-phase-2-opportunity/artifacts/dpvp-phase-2-executive-summary.md
Initial narrow draft: /opt/data/workspaces/channels/dpvp-phase-2-opportunity/artifacts/dpvp-phase-2-opportunity-contract-draft.md
Expanded programme/contract draft: /opt/data/workspaces/channels/dpvp-phase-2-opportunity/artifacts/dpvp-phase-2-program-opportunity-contract-v2.md

Mandatory technical evidence

AWS resource evaluations must reference:

dpvp-storm/docs/machine-identity/configuration-alignment.md
dpvp-storm/docs/references/project-configuration.example.yaml

Keep OBSERVED / PROPOSED / UNKNOWN / RUNTIME evidence distinct.
