MO-006e — Infrastructure Environment Retirement

Go to MO-006 — Infrastructure Lifecycle Management

Statement

Crucible SHALL transition an Infrastructure Environment to Retirement when its Retirement conditions are satisfied.

Derived From

This requirement derives from:

The Original Requirement states:

The system SHALL support infrastructure lifecycle management from initial deployment through retirement.[C1]

MO-006e preserves the terminal lifecycle intent expressed by through retirement in the Original Requirement by requiring Crucible to transition an Infrastructure Environment to Retirement after its Retirement conditions are satisfied.

The separate requirements derived from MO-006 address:

Rationale

Retirement represents the terminal lifecycle state of an Infrastructure Environment when its associated Operational Lifecycle revision defines Retirement as a terminal state.

Retirement conditions can include:

Authorization by the responsible authorityCompletion of required operational activitiesResolution or disposition of outstanding failures and exceptionsPreservation of required configuration recordsPreservation of required deployment recordsPreservation of required security recordsPreservation of required compliance recordsPreservation of required EvidencePreservation of required ProvenancePreservation of required TraceabilityCompletion of required data dispositionCompletion of required Artifact dispositionCompletion of required resource dispositionRevocation of credentials and accessTermination of servicesCompletion of archival activitiesThe associated Operational Lifecycle revision defines the Retirement conditions for the Infrastructure Environment.

Infrastructure Environment Retirement supports:

Controlled termination of infrastructure usePrevention of premature RetirementCompletion of required preservation and disposition activitiesRevocation of obsolete accessRelease or disposition of infrastructure resourcesPreservation of lifecycle historyConfirmation of the terminal lifecycle stateSatisfaction of the Retirement conditions permits Crucible to execute the Retirement transition. Satisfaction of those conditions does not establish successful completion of Retirement.

A failed or incomplete Retirement transition does not establish that the Infrastructure Environment entered the Retirement state. MO-006c addresses recording of the current lifecycle state after the transition attempt.

This requirement does not associate or initiate the Operational Lifecycle. MO-006a and MO-006b address those outcomes.

This requirement represents the specific Retirement transition derived from the broader lifecycle-transition behavior in MO-006d.

Verification

Verification confirms that:

The Infrastructure Environment is identifiedThe associated Operational Lifecycle identifier and revision are identifiedThe current lifecycle state is identifiedRetirement is a permitted target state of the associated Operational Lifecycle revisionThe Retirement conditions are identifiedEach Retirement condition is satisfied before the transition beginsCrucible executes the Retirement transitionA Retirement transition with one or more unsatisfied conditions is not executedThe Retirement transition produces an identified resultThe Retirement result supports recording of the resulting lifecycle stateA failed or incomplete Retirement transition does not produce an unsupported Retirement-state recordThe Retirement record preserves Traceability among the Infrastructure Environment, Operational Lifecycle revision, preceding lifecycle state, Retirement conditions, approvals, transition result, disposition activities, and resulting lifecycle state
