A Deployment Artifact traces to Evidence when recorded information supports a claim about the deployed system.
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 Evidence showing that a Node started, reported health, subscribed to the expected Communication Endpoint, published a status message, and produced an audit record. A ConfigMap may trace to Evidence showing which QoS profile, topic definition, or runtime configuration was active during a test.
Examples include:
Table 10.6-1: Examples of deployment artifacts traced to evidence
| Deployment Artifact | Evidence |
|---|---|
| Kubernetes Deployment or Pod | Startup logs, status records, health reports, and captured heartbeat messages |
| ConfigMap or mounted configuration file | Configuration snapshot, checksum, version record, review record |
| Deployed Node | Node status message, audit record, provenance record, captured output |
| Runtime topic or endpoint configuration | Captured publication, subscription record, topic discovery output, test result |
| Policy release service deployment | Release decision record, redaction output, audit entry, policy-version record |
| Test scenario execution | Test report, captured messages, logs, screenshots, evidence bundle |
