====== FR-DEP-002 — Deploy Virtual Machines ======

[[dido:02-crusible:99-annexes:annex-c-requirements:03-functional-requirements:03-03-deployment-orchestration:start|Go to Crucible Deployment Orchestration Requirements]]

===== Statement =====

[[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:c:crucible|Crucible]] SHALL deploy [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:v:virtual_machine|Virtual Machines]].

===== Derived From =====

This requirement derives from:

  * Crucible System Requirements Specification, Version 1.1 Draft, Functional Requirements, FR-DEP-002

The Original Requirement states:

> //The system shall deploy [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:v:virtual_machine|virtual machines]].//[[dido:02-crusible:99-annexes:annex-b:cr-001|[C1]]]

FR-DEP-002:

  * Replaces **The system** with the defined system name [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:c:crucible|Crucible]]
  * Changes **shall** to the established uppercase normative form **SHALL**
  * Links **Virtual Machines** to the controlling definition

No other substantive normalization is required.

===== Rationale =====

A [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:v:virtual_machine|Virtual Machine]] provides a computing environment through virtualized processor, memory, storage, network, and related resources.

Deploying Virtual Machines enables Crucible to create virtualized computing resources through separately governed deployment workflows.

This requirement establishes the Virtual Machine deployment behavior without prescribing:

  * The [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:m:machine_image|Machine Image]]
  * The target Infrastructure Environment
  * The virtualization platform
  * The Virtual Machine configuration
  * Runtime activation
  * Deployment validation
  * Deployment rollback
  * Compliance assessment

Separate requirements define those subjects and behaviors.

===== Applies To =====

This requirement applies to:

  * [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:c:crucible|Crucible]]
  * [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:v:virtual_machine|Virtual Machines]]
  * Virtual Machine deployment operations

===== Verification =====

Verification confirms that:

  - One or more Virtual Machines are selected for deployment
  - [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:c:crucible|Crucible]] executes a deployment operation for the selected Virtual Machines
  - The completed deployment produces the selected Virtual Machines
  - The resulting Virtual Machines can be identified as outputs of the tested deployment

===== Implementation Status =====

Implemented and Verified

===== Requirement Status =====

<todo>Review and approve FR-DEP-002 as a leaf requirement.</todo>

===== Issues =====

<todo>Determine whether separate requirements identify the Machine Image and configuration used for each Virtual Machine deployment.</todo>

<todo>Determine whether separate requirements identify the Deployment Target or Infrastructure Environment for each Virtual Machine deployment.</todo>

===== Notes for Editors =====

This requirement page retains the stable requirement identifier ''FR-DEP-002''.

This page is a leaf requirement page and omits a trailing '':start'' from its namespace.

The Statement preserves the approved source intent by requiring Crucible to deploy Virtual Machines.

Do not add a Machine Image, target Infrastructure Environment, Deployment Target, virtualization platform, runtime-activation, rollback, validation, compliance-assessment, or retirement obligation unless the controlling requirement changes through an approved requirements process.
