 +
 +===== Discussion =====
 +
 +A Deployment Baseline is a specialization of [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:b:baseline|Baseline]] that establishes an approved reference for the [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:a:artifact|Artifacts]], configuration, parameters, relationships, and constraints used for a deployment.
 +
 +The general concept of Baseline provides the controlled reference against which a subject can be compared, evaluated, changed, or restored.
 +
 +A Deployment Baseline applies that concept to a deployment and may identify:
 +
 +  * Deployable Artifacts
 +  * Artifact revisions
 +  * [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:i:infrastructure_configuration|Infrastructure Configurations]]
 +  * [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:i:infrastructure_blueprint|Infrastructure Blueprints]]
 +  * [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:m:machine_image|Machine Images]]
 +  * Platform components
 +  * Deployment specifications
 +  * Required parameters
 +  * Component relationships
 +  * Target-environment constraints
 +  * Applicable [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:s:security_baseline|Security Baselines]]
 +  * Applicable [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:a:acceptance_criteria|Acceptance Criteria]]
 +
 +A Deployment Baseline differs from an [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:i:infrastructure_baseline|Infrastructure Baseline]]:
 +
 +  * An Infrastructure Baseline establishes the approved reference for infrastructure characteristics
 +  * A Deployment Baseline establishes the approved reference for the complete set of controlled inputs and conditions used to perform a deployment
 +
 +A Deployment Baseline may incorporate or reference an Infrastructure Baseline, Security Baseline, platform baseline, or other subordinate Baseline.
 +
 +A Deployment Baseline also differs from a deployment record:
 +
 +  * The Deployment Baseline identifies the approved reference used to perform a deployment
 +  * The deployment record identifies what occurred during a particular deployment execution

 +
 +===== Note =====
 +
 +A Deployment Baseline should have an identifiable revision so an evaluator can determine which reference applied to a particular deployment.
 +
 +A Deployment Baseline may apply to:
 +
 +  * [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:i:infrastructure_deployment|Infrastructure Deployment]]
 +  * [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:p:platform_deployment|Platform Deployment]]
 +  * Application deployment
 +  * Combined deployment workflows
 +
 +Approval of a Deployment Baseline does not establish that a deployment succeeded or that the deployed result satisfies the applicable Acceptance Criteria.
 +
 +The applicable deployment record may identify:
 +
 +  * The Deployment Baseline revision used
 +  * The target Infrastructure Environment
 +  * The deployment start and completion events
 +  * The observed results
 +  * Deviations from the Deployment Baseline
 +  * Generated [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:e:evidence|Evidence]]
 +
 +The term does not prescribe a particular deployment tool, orchestration product, repository, platform, or implementation technology.
 +
 +===== Example =====
 +
 +A Deployment Baseline identifies the Infrastructure Configuration, Machine Image revision, platform packages, Security Baseline, deployment parameters, and Acceptance Criteria used to perform a Platform Deployment within a production Infrastructure Environment.
