Architectural flexibility supports system configurability by enabling components to be easily replaced, modified, or added to the system without requiring significant changes to the overall structure of the system. This allows for a system to be configured and reconfigured to meet changing user or business needs. For example, a flexible software architecture may permit the addition of new plugins or modules to enhance the functionality of the system, while a flexible hardware architecture might allow for the addition or removal of components to optimize performance or accommodate changing use cases. Ultimately, architectural flexibility promotes system configurability by enabling a system to evolve and adapt over time to meet changing requirements.
