This chapter converges techniques we have covered throughout the book and demonstrates how they can be utilized to introduce known changes to your existing environment, as well as address ramifications of unknown changes.

We used the Streams Site Matrix to help us break down the Streamed environment architecture into manageable pieces and focus on how a change affects each piece. We saw that the same change requires different tasks at each piece, and may even require changes that may not be initially apparent.

We also dissected the Streams flow and identified failure points. We analyzed common causes for failures at these points and provided some suggested approaches to mitigating those failures.

We presented a brief discussion on tools available to help you monitor, and troubleshoot your environment, as well as a couple of Tricks and Tips on how to address a couple of common, yet potentially annoying problems.
