FR-DEP-002 — Deploy Virtual Machines

Crucible SHALL deploy Virtual Machines.

This requirement derives from:

  • Crucible System Requirements Specification, Version 1.1 Draft, Functional Requirements, FR-DEP-002

The Original Requirement states:

The system shall deploy virtual machines.[C1]

FR-DEP-002:

  • Replaces The system with the defined system name Crucible
  • Changes shall to the established uppercase normative form SHALL
  • Links Virtual Machines to the controlling definition

No other substantive normalization is required.

A Virtual Machine provides a computing environment through virtualized processor, memory, storage, network, and related resources.

Deploying Virtual Machines enables Crucible to create virtualized computing resources through separately governed deployment workflows.

This requirement establishes the Virtual Machine deployment behavior without prescribing:

  • The target Infrastructure Environment
  • The virtualization platform
  • The Virtual Machine configuration
  • Runtime activation
  • Deployment validation
  • Deployment rollback
  • Compliance assessment

Separate requirements define those subjects and behaviors.

This requirement applies to:

Verification confirms that:

  1. One or more Virtual Machines are selected for deployment
  2. Crucible executes a deployment operation for the selected Virtual Machines
  3. The completed deployment produces the selected Virtual Machines
  4. The resulting Virtual Machines can be identified as outputs of the tested deployment

Implemented and Verified

Review and approve FR-DEP-002 as a leaf requirement.


Determine whether separate requirements identify the Machine Image and configuration used for each Virtual Machine deployment.

Determine whether separate requirements identify the Deployment Target or Infrastructure Environment for each Virtual Machine deployment.


This requirement page retains the stable requirement identifier FR-DEP-002.

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 deploy Virtual Machines.

Do not add a Machine Image, target Infrastructure Environment, Deployment Target, virtualization platform, runtime-activation, rollback, validation, compliance-assessment, or retirement obligation unless the controlling requirement changes through an approved requirements process.
