Crucible

Go to General Topics

Crucible provides a controlled, reproducible, and portable approach for constructing, hardening, assessing, transferring, deploying, and maintaining software and infrastructure environments. Crucible uses Declarative Descriptions, composable baselines, Machine Images, Infrastructure as Code (IaC), dependency capture, and Compliance Evidence to support Accredited Software Factory objectives across Connected, Disconnected, and Air-Gapped Environments. The architecture separates provider-independent intent from provider-specific implementation, preserves Traceability and provenance across lifecycle stages, and supports Reproducibility and Portability without depending on a single cloud provider, infrastructure platform, or assessment tool.
