The document discusses building applications for operability. It describes the different perspectives of operations and development teams. Operations teams view servers as part of clusters and focus on system-level configuration and components. Development teams focus mainly on application configuration. The document emphasizes that applications need to be built to allow for sharing of data and configurations across server clusters to support high availability and scalability. It provides examples of how server infrastructure and applications are structured, such as front-end servers routing requests to application servers.
