How do you fix this without dictating architecture/design decisions?  I’ve been building infrastructure for 23 years and deploying apps on top of infrastructure in an automated fashion for 13 years.  I just don’t understand how you resolve this problem without either special casing OR dictating a reference architecture.

Am I missing something obvious?  I sure would like to know if I am.
