====== 10.6 Deployment Artifact to Evidence ======
[[fxdemo:01-part:start | Go to Top ]]

A Deployment Artifact traces to [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:e:evidence|Evidence]] when recorded information supports a claim about the deployed system.

[[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:e:evidence|Evidence]] may support claims about deployment, execution, configuration, communication, health, recovery, policy enforcement, release, audit, provenance, or test results.

For example, a Kubernetes Deployment may trace to [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:e:evidence|Evidence]] showing that a [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:f:financial_node|Node]] started, reported health, subscribed to the expected [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:c:communication_endpoint|Communication Endpoint]], published a status message, and produced an audit record. A ConfigMap may trace to [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:e:evidence|Evidence]] showing which QoS profile, topic definition, or runtime configuration was active during a test.

Examples include:
