FR-DEP-003 — Deploy Kubernetes Clusters

This requirement derives from:

  • Crucible System Requirements Specification, Version 1.1 Draft, Functional Requirements, FR-DEP-003

The Original Requirement states:

The system shall deploy Kubernetes clusters.[C1]

FR-DEP-003:

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

No other substantive normalization is required.

A Kubernetes Cluster provides the control-plane and worker-node capabilities required to schedule, execute, connect, and manage containerized workloads.

Deploying Kubernetes Clusters enables Crucible to establish Kubernetes-based platforms through separately governed deployment workflows.

This requirement establishes Kubernetes Cluster deployment without prescribing:

  • A Kubernetes distribution
  • A Kubernetes version
  • A cluster topology
  • The target Infrastructure Environment
  • The Deployment Target
  • The deployment mechanism
  • Workload deployment
  • Platform-service deployment
  • Deployment validation
  • Deployment rollback
  • Compliance assessment

Separate requirements define those subjects and behaviors.

This requirement applies to:

Verification confirms that:

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

Implemented and Verified

Review and approve FR-DEP-003 as a leaf requirement.


Determine whether separate requirements identify the configuration used for each Kubernetes Cluster deployment.

Determine whether separate requirements identify the Deployment Target or Infrastructure Environment for each Kubernetes Cluster deployment.


This requirement page retains the stable requirement identifier FR-DEP-003.

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 Kubernetes Clusters.

Do not add a Kubernetes distribution, Kubernetes version, cluster topology, target Infrastructure Environment, Deployment Target, workload-deployment, platform-service, rollback, validation, compliance-assessment, or retirement obligation unless the controlling requirement changes through an approved requirements process.
