MO-001b — Deployment Duration

Go to MO-001 — Repeatable, Compliant, and Secure Infrastructure Environments

Statement

Crucible SHALL create an Infrastructure Environment within the applicable Deployment Duration Acceptance Criteria.

Derived From

This requirement derives from:

The Original Requirement states:

Crucible SHALL enable rapid creation of repeatable, compliant, and secure infrastructure environments.[C1]

MO-001b preserves the portion of the Original Requirement that characterizes Infrastructure Environment creation as rapid.

The separate requirements derived from MO-001 address:

Assessment

The Original Requirement uses rapid without identifying:

A defined start conditionA defined completion conditionA measurable durationAn applicable thresholdAn operational contextA comparison baselineAcceptance CriteriaThe term rapid therefore does not support objective verification.

MO-001b:

Replaces rapid with the measurable concept Deployment DurationIdentifies Crucible as the responsible actorIdentifies creation of the Infrastructure Environment as the measured activityRequires evaluation against applicable Acceptance CriteriaSeparates deployment-duration performance from environment creation, reproducibility, security, and compliance outcomes

Rationale

Organizations require predictable Infrastructure Environment creation timelines to support development, testing, evaluation, deployment, recovery, and operational planning.

A qualitative term such as rapid does not establish an objective performance obligation. Deployment Duration provides a measurable quantity based on defined start and completion conditions.

The applicable Acceptance Criteria establish the duration threshold for the relevant operational context. Different Acceptance Criteria can apply to:

Different Infrastructure Environment typesDifferent deployment sizesDifferent computing resourcesDifferent network conditionsConnected EnvironmentsDisconnected EnvironmentsAir-Gapped EnvironmentsInitial deploymentsRepeated deploymentsRecovery or replacement activitiesSeparating the duration requirement from MO-001a permits Crucible to satisfy the environment-creation requirement while independently passing or failing the applicable Deployment Duration Acceptance Criteria.

This requirement does not define the content of the Infrastructure Environment, the equivalence criteria used for Reproducibility, or the Security Baseline and Compliance Baseline applied to the Infrastructure Environment. The other requirements derived from MO-001 establish those outcomes.

Applies To

This requirement applies to:

Verification

Verification confirms that:

The applicable Deployment Duration Acceptance Criteria identify a defined start conditionThe applicable Deployment Duration Acceptance Criteria identify a defined completion conditionThe applicable Deployment Duration Acceptance Criteria identify a maximum permitted duration or another objective duration thresholdThe measured Deployment Duration begins when the defined start condition occursThe measured Deployment Duration ends when the defined completion condition occursThe measured Deployment Duration satisfies the applicable Acceptance CriteriaVerification includes:

Acceptance Criteria inspectionDeployment event inspectionStart-time captureCompletion-time captureElapsed-time calculationInfrastructure Environment state inspectionRepeated duration measurementsConnected Environment testsDisconnected Environment testsAir-Gapped Environment testsEnd-to-end CI/CD Pipeline testsThe verification record identifies:

The applicable Deployment Duration Acceptance CriteriaThe operational contextThe selected Controlled InputsThe applicable Infrastructure Environment typeThe defined start conditionThe defined completion conditionThe recorded start timeThe recorded completion timeThe calculated Deployment DurationThe applicable duration thresholdThe observed resultThe generated Evidence

Notes for Editors

This requirement page should retain the stable requirement identifier MO-001b.

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

Changes to the Statement SHALL preserve the deployment-duration intent derived from MO-001.

The applicable Acceptance Criteria should define:

The measured activityThe start conditionThe completion conditionThe duration thresholdThe operational contextAny permitted exclusionsThe required measurement precisionMaterial changes should receive review and should update the related verification criteria, requirements realization, related architecture sections, and source records.
