====== 10.5 Implementation Artifact / PSM to Deployment Artifact ======
[[fxdemo:01-part:start | Go to Top ]]

An Implementation Artifact / [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:p:platform_specific_model|PSM]] traces to a Deployment Artifact when a deployment profile describes how the implementation runs in a concrete environment.

For example, a container image may trace to a Kubernetes Deployment, Pod, or Helm chart. A DDS QoS profile may trace to a mounted configuration file or ConfigMap. A generated IDL binding may trace to a deployed service image using that binding.

This relationship supports operational review. It allows a reviewer to identify which deployed artifact executed, configured, exposed, or controlled a given implementation artifact.

Examples include:

Table 10.5-1: Examples of implementation artifacts traced to deployment artifacts

^ Implementation Artifact / [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:p:platform_specific_model|PSM]] ^ Deployment Artifact ^
| OCI-compatible container image | Kubernetes Deployment, Pod, K3s workload, or local container runtime configuration |
| DDS Topic configuration | DDS XML configuration, mounted configuration file, or runtime topic registration |
| USER_QOS_PROFILES.xml | ConfigMap, mounted file, deployment package, or runtime configuration volume |
| Python [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:f:financial_node|Node]] implementation | Container entry point, process command, service manifest, or pod specification |
| Generated language binding | Built package, container layer, deployed runtime dependency, or generated source directory |
| Implementation configuration file | Environment-specific configuration file, ConfigMap, Secret, or mounted volume |
