===== Discussion =====

Crucible is a DIDO Solutions DevSecOps and DevOps platform that simplifies and secures software development, deployment, and management.

Crucible supports repeatable development and deployment environments, security-compliant application delivery, cloud-agnostic operations, Infrastructure as Code, provisioning discipline, access-control discipline, workload segmentation, and continuous verification.

In the Financial Systems [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:a:archetype|Archetype]] document set, Crucible belongs to implementation, deployment, environment-management, and runtime-infrastructure concerns. Crucible does not define logical [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:f:financial_node|Nodes]], logical [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:c:communication_endpoint|Communication Endpoints]], logical information structures, logical [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:r:runtime_plane|Runtime Planes]], or logical interaction patterns.

An implementation or deployment profile maps selected implementation artifacts, runtime services, configuration, security, observability, and deployment concerns to Crucible-managed environments when Crucible serves as the selected DevSecOps or deployment environment platform.

===== Definition =====

//DevSecOps and DevOps platform used to simplify, secure, provision, deploy, manage, and verify software development and runtime environments//

===== Source =====

Generalised from DIDO Solutions Crucible material and its use as an implementation and deployment concern in [[fxdemo:04-part:start]] and [[fxdemo:05-part:start]].

===== Note =====

Crucible is not a logical [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:f:financial_node|Node]], logical [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:c:communication_endpoint|Communication Endpoint]], [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:r:runtime_plane|Runtime Plane]], DDS Domain, DDS Topic, message bus, data structure, governance model, [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:e:evidence|Evidence]] model, or architecture layer.

===== Example =====

[[fxdemo:05-part:start]] uses Crucible as a deployment-environment option for running Phase 0 implementation artifacts after the logical Nodes and logical Communication Endpoints have already been defined in platform-independent form.
