OR-005 — Distributed Environment Management

Go to Operational Requirements

Statement

Crucible SHALL perform Centralized Management of two or more Distributed Environments.

Derived From

This requirement derives from:

Crucible System Requirements Specification, Version 1.1 Draft, Operational Requirements, OR-005The Original Requirement states:

The system SHALL support centralized management of distributed environments.[C1]

OR-005 replaces the system with the defined system name Crucible, replaces the weak verb support with perform, and defines the minimum quantity represented by distributed environments as two.

Rationale

Organizations operate Infrastructure Environments whose components, resources, or services span multiple networked locations or Nodes.

Centralized Management provides a unified management authority for those environments without requiring the managed environments to form a Centralized System.

A Distributed Environment can use a Distributed System or a Distributed Network Topology while remaining subject to Centralized Management by Crucible.

This requirement establishes the centralized-management capability without prescribing a particular Management Interface, network topology, communication protocol, or implementation technology.

Applies To

This requirement applies to:

Verification

Verification confirms that:

At least two Distributed Environments are selected for managementCrucible performs management operations for each selected Distributed EnvironmentThe management operations are performed through the Centralized Management capabilityThe Centralized Management capability identifies the Distributed Environment to which each tested management operation appliesA user or automated process can manage each selected Distributed Environment through the Centralized Management capabilityThe tested Distributed Environments satisfy the characteristics defined for a Distributed Environment

Notes for Editors

This requirement page retains the stable requirement identifier OR-005.

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

OR-005 governs Centralized Management of two or more Distributed Environments.

OR-005 does not independently require:

A particular Management InterfaceA particular network topologyConcurrent management operationsPreservation of environment identityPreservation of Operational Lifecycle StateResource or operation isolationCommunication recoveryState reconciliationManagement of disconnected or Air-Gapped EnvironmentsSeparate requirements should define those obligations when supported by the controlling source material.
