FR-CFG-004 — Environment Inheritance

Go to Crucible Configuration Management Requirements

Statement

Crucible SHALL derive an Infrastructure Configuration from an identified parent Infrastructure Configuration.

Derived From

This requirement derives from:

Crucible System Requirements Specification, Version 1.1 Draft, Functional Requirements, Configuration Management, FR-CFG-004The Original Requirement states:

The system SHALL support environment inheritance models.[C1]

FR-CFG-004:

Replaces The system with the defined system name CrucibleReplaces the weak phrase support environment inheritance models with the observable behavior deriveIdentifies an Infrastructure Configuration as the subject of inheritanceIdentifies a parent Infrastructure Configuration as the source of inherited configuration content

Rationale

Environment inheritance allows related Infrastructure Environments to share common configuration content.

A derived Infrastructure Configuration uses configuration content from an identified parent Infrastructure Configuration rather than duplicating the complete configuration.

This approach reduces configuration duplication and promotes consistency among related Infrastructure Environments.

Applies To

This requirement applies to:

Parent Infrastructure ConfigurationsDerived Infrastructure ConfigurationsInfrastructure Environments

Verification

Verification confirms that:

A tested Infrastructure Configuration identifies a parent Infrastructure ConfigurationCrucible derives the tested Infrastructure Configuration from the identified parent Infrastructure ConfigurationThe derived Infrastructure Configuration contains configuration content obtained from the identified parent Infrastructure ConfigurationThe relationship between the derived Infrastructure Configuration and its identified parent can be determined

Notes for Editors

This requirement page retains the stable requirement identifier FR-CFG-004.

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

The Statement preserves the approved source intent by requiring Crucible to derive an Infrastructure Configuration from an identified parent Infrastructure Configuration.

Do not add explicit override behavior, conflict resolution, inheritance depth, multiple-parent inheritance, validation, approval, deployment, revision history, provenance, or traceability obligations to the Statement unless the controlling requirement changes through an approved requirements process.
