Sunny,

I am a big fan of Thomas Erl and his set of books. His book site is here: http://www.soabooks.com/. If you are interested in some further discussion about SOA Design Time Governance I'd be glad to be a part of it.

Hi Benneth, Thank you for this suggestion. I downloaded it and enjoyed the read. I especially like how they touch on the SOA Center of Excellence (CoE). I hope to make our Code Town SOA Governance group our own CoE! :-)

Sovereign fault domains are failure boundaries defined by legal, political, or physical jurisdiction rather than hardware topology. The article maps geopolitical events to known distributed-systems failure modes, argues multi-region should replace multi-AZ as the HA baseline for systems crossing jurisdictions, and outlines design patterns, chaos experiments, and an ALE model to justify the spend.
