====== Deployment Operation ====== [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:start|Go to Terms and Definitions]] ===== Discussion ===== A Deployment Operation is an operation that creates, configures, updates, replaces, or removes an identified deployment subject within a target [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:i:infrastructure_environment|Infrastructure Environment]]. A Deployment Operation may apply to: * [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:i:infrastructure_resource|Infrastructure Resources]] * [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:v:virtual_machine|Virtual Machines]] * [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:k:kubernetes_cluster|Kubernetes Clusters]] * [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:c:containerized_workload|Containerized Workloads]] * [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:p:platform_service|Platform Services]] * Configuration * Relationships among deployed subjects A Deployment Operation may: * Create a deployment subject * Configure a deployment subject * Update a deployment subject * Replace a deployment subject * Remove a deployment subject * Establish relationships among deployment subjects A Deployment Operation may use: * A [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:c:crucible_description|Crucible Description]] * An [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:i:infrastructure_configuration|Infrastructure Configuration]] * An [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:i:infrastructure_baseline|Infrastructure Baseline]] * A [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:m:machine_image|Machine Image]] * A [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:c:container_image|Container Image]] * [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:p:platform_independent_information|Platform Independent Information]] * [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:p:platform_specific_information|Platform Specific Information]] A Deployment Operation differs from a deployment result: * A Deployment Operation performs an action on a deployment subject * A deployment result is the state produced by the Deployment Operation A Deployment Operation differs from [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:d:deployment_validation|Deployment Validation]]: * A Deployment Operation creates or changes a deployment subject * Deployment Validation evaluates the resulting state against applicable [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:a:acceptance_criteria|Acceptance Criteria]] A Deployment Operation differs from [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:d:deployment_rollback|Deployment Rollback]]: * A Deployment Operation produces an intended deployment change * Deployment Rollback reverses the effects of an identified deployment ===== Definition ===== //operation that creates, configures, updates, replaces, or removes an identified deployment subject within a target [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:i:infrastructure_environment|Infrastructure Environment]]// ===== Source ===== Dido Solutions, Inc. and Jackrabbit Consulting, Inc. ===== Note ===== A Deployment Operation does not by itself establish that the resulting deployment: * Satisfies applicable Acceptance Criteria * Is compliant with an applicable [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:b:baseline|Baseline]] * Is authorized for operation * Is secure * Is available * Is suitable for its intended purpose Separate requirements govern Deployment Validation, compliance assessment, approval, activation, rollback, and retirement. The term does not prescribe: * A deployment tool * A deployment language * A cloud Provider * A target platform * An orchestration technology * A deployment interface * A connected or disconnected operating condition ===== Example ===== Crucible performs a Deployment Operation that creates a Virtual Machine from an identified Machine Image within a target Infrastructure Environment. ---- © 2026 Dido Solutions, Inc. and Jackrabbit Consulting, Inc.
