 +====== Connected Environment ======

 +
 +===== Discussion =====
 +
 +A Connected Environment maintains direct electronic communication with one or more external systems, services, repositories, providers, or networks.
 +
 +The connections support activities such as retrieving dependencies, accessing source repositories, authenticating with infrastructure providers, obtaining updates, publishing artifacts, or exchanging operational information.
 +
 +A Connected Environment still applies security, access-control, monitoring, and governance controls to its external communications. Connectivity refers to the presence of direct communication paths, not unrestricted access.
 +
 +In the Crucible operating model, a Connected Environment often performs source retrieval, image construction, dependency capture, compliance scanning, and transfer-bundle preparation before controlled transfer into a [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:d:disconnected_environment|Disconnected Environment]].
 +
 +===== Definition =====
 +
 +//operating environment that maintains direct electronic communication with one or more external systems, services, repositories, providers, or networks//
 +
 +===== Source =====
 +
 +Generalised from networking, cloud-computing, software-delivery, and operational-environment usage and specialized for the Crucible architecture and operational model.
 +
 +===== Note =====
 +
 +A Connected Environment may restrict communications by destination, protocol, identity, purpose, or policy. Such restrictions do not render the environment disconnected, as direct external communication remains available.
 +
 +The term does not imply a connection to the public Internet. A private network connection to an external service or environment also establishes connectivity.
 +
 +===== Example =====
 +
 +A build environment connects to source repositories, package repositories, infrastructure providers, and compliance-content sources while preparing a hardened machine image and its transfer dependencies.
