 +
 +===== Discussion =====
 +
 +Image Resolution is the process of selecting a [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:m:machine_image|Machine Image]] that satisfies a defined set of [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:i:image_requirement|Image Requirements]].
 +
 +The process compares required characteristics with the characteristics recorded in an [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:i:image_catalog|Image Catalog]] or equivalent source of image information.
 +
 +Image Resolution may consider operating-system family, version, processor architecture, capabilities, compliance posture, integrity information, provider availability, lifecycle status, and approval status.
 +
 +Within Crucible, Image Resolution allows an [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:i:infrastructure_baseline|Infrastructure Baseline]] to remain independent of a specific Machine Image while still receiving an image that satisfies its declared requirements.
 +
 +===== Definition =====
 +
 +//process of selecting a [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:m:machine_image|machine image]] that satisfies a defined set of [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:i:image_requirement|image requirements]]//
 +
 +===== Source =====
 +
 +Generalized from dependency resolution, artifact selection, machine-image management, and infrastructure orchestration usage and specialized for the Crucible architecture and operational model.
 +
 +===== Note =====
 +
 +Image Resolution does not necessarily select the newest available image. The process applies the defined requirements, compatibility rules, precedence rules, and governance constraints.
 +
 +When several images satisfy the requirements, the process may apply additional selection rules or require an explicit choice.
 +
 +===== Example =====
 +
 +A deployment requires a hardened [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:r:rhel]] 9 [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:k:kubernetes]] image for AArch64 on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. Image Resolution selects the approved Image Record that satisfies those requirements and supplies its provider image identifier to the deployment process.
