With the right adoption of cloud-native architectures and tools, enterprises can unlock the full potential of Digital Twins and accelerate their design, implementation and adoption to operational excellence. Cloud Providers can acelerate designs and implementations related to delivering Digital Twins cloud-native architectures, including building, packaging, deploying, managing, and operating them.
A Digital Twin architecture design with top-down approach starts with successively breaks it down into smaller sub-modules and services. A system or a component is broken down into ever smaller, relatively independent components and concepts. This facilitates the understanding, management and scalability of the architecture, allowing development teams to have a clearer vision of the different components and how they work together.
Cloud services offer a wide range of managed services that can help break down a complex architecture into more specialized and modularized services.
Digital Twin architecture Mind-Mapping
Building on the following diagram used to organize and represent the different components and aspects into which a digital twin cloud architecture can be broken down.
- Building: Technical components to designing and constructing Digital Twins using cloud-native approaches.
- Packaging: Packaging techniques related with conteniraztion and build services software-based.
- Deploying: Deployment strategies and considerations based on provider’s offerings. Select practices to automate the provisioning and configuration of the cloud infrastructure needed for deploying Digital Twins.
- Managing: Involves various tasks and considerations to ensure their effective operation and maintenance. Coordination and control of various components, processes, and interactions involved in the lifecycle of Digital Twin.
- Operating: Select elements ensuring the smooth functioning and best user experience of digital representations of physical assets or systems.
