FR-DEP-002 — Deploy Virtual Machines

Go to Crucible Deployment Orchestration Requirements

Crucible SHALL deploy a Virtual Machine to a target Infrastructure Environment.

The system shall deploy virtual machines.

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

The source statement expresses a direct functional behavior but requires terminology and normative-language normalization.

The following Specification Discipline and Authoring findings apply:

• The system does not use the defined system name
• shall does not follow the established uppercase normative convention
• Virtual machines should use the defined Virtual Machine concept
• The source statement does not identify the target Infrastructure Environment
• The source statement does not prescribe a virtualization platform, Machine Image format, provider, or deployment method
• The source statement does not independently require validation, rollback, compliance assessment, or runtime activation

The normalized Statement:

• Replaces The system with Crucible
• Retains the direct and testable verb deploy
• Uses the defined Virtual Machine concept
• Identifies the target Infrastructure Environment
• Retains one primary required behavior

A Virtual Machine provides an isolated computing subject through virtualized processor, memory, storage, network, and related resources.

Virtual Machine deployment may use:

• A selected Machine Image
• Virtual processor configuration
• Virtual memory configuration
• Virtual storage configuration
• Virtual network configuration
• Identity and access configuration
• Security configuration
• Startup parameters
• Provider-specific parameters

The applicable Infrastructure Configuration determines which inputs apply.

Virtual Machine deployment contributes to:

• Repeatable computing-resource creation
• Consistent Virtual Machine configuration
• Automated workload hosting
• Reproducibility
• Provenance
• Traceability

This requirement applies to:

• Crucible
• Virtual Machines
• Machine Images
• Virtualized computing resources
• Virtualization platforms
• Infrastructure Environments
• Infrastructure Configurations
• Virtual Machine deployment workflows
• Provider Implementations
• CI/CD Pipelines

1. Verification SHALL confirm that Crucible executes a deployment operation for a Virtual Machine
2. Verification SHALL confirm that the deployment operation targets an identified Infrastructure Environment
3. Verification SHALL confirm that the Virtual Machine exists in the target Infrastructure Environment after successful deployment

Verification may include:

• Virtual Machine deployment testing
• Virtualization-platform inspection
• Target-environment inspection
• Virtual Machine state inspection
• Deployment-output inspection
• Deployment-log inspection
• Automated CI/CD Pipeline testing

The verification record SHALL identify:

1. The deployed Virtual Machine
2. The target Infrastructure Environment
3. The deployment operation
4. The deployment result
5. The observed Virtual Machine state
6. The generated Evidence

This requirement realizes:

• MO-001
• MO-002
• MO-003
• MO-006

This requirement relates to:

• FR-IMG-001 — Build Virtual Machine Images
• FR-IMG-003 — Immutable Infrastructure Workflows
• FR-DEP-001 — Deploy Infrastructure Resources
• FR-DEP-006 — Deployment Rollback
• FR-DEP-007 — Deployment Validation
• 6. Machine Images and Image Layers
• 7. Infrastructure and Deployment

The wiki Backlinks function provides the current list of pages that reference FR-DEP-002.

Incoming Traceability should be derived dynamically from backlinks rather than maintained as a duplicate manual list.

Backlinks identify incoming references but do not define the semantics of each relationship. Referencing pages should identify whether the relationship represents realization, refinement, verification, dependency, or another defined traceability relationship.

The Crucible Concept of Operations describes a Phase 1 workflow that builds controlled Machine Images and deploys infrastructure through an automated CI/CD Pipeline.

FR-DEP-002 establishes the required behavior for deploying a Virtual Machine to a target Infrastructure Environment.

Requirements governing Machine Image building, Image Promotion, rollback, and validation define separate behavior.

Phase 1

Not Assessed

Implementation status requires verification that Crucible deploys a Virtual Machine to a target Infrastructure Environment.

Draft

The source System Requirements Specification identifies Version 1.1 as a draft.

This requirement page should retain the stable requirement identifier FR-DEP-002.

Changes to the Statement SHALL preserve the approved intent of the source requirement.

The Source Statement should preserve the original wording from the controlling System Requirements Specification.

The Statement should remain limited to deployment of a Virtual Machine.

Requirements for Machine Image building, Image Promotion, runtime activation, rollback, validation, and retirement should remain in their applicable requirement pages.

Verification criteria should test only the behavior stated in the normalized Statement and should not introduce additional normative obligations.

Incoming Traceability should use the wiki Backlinks function rather than a manually maintained list.
