+====== Infrastructure Platform ======
+[[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:start|Go up to Terms and Definitions]]
+===== Discussion =====
+An Infrastructure Platform provides managed computing, storage, networking, virtualization, identity, and related foundational resources through defined interfaces and operational services.
+The Infrastructure Platform supplies the resource foundation on which higher-level [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:p:platform|Platforms]], applications, services, and workloads operate.
+An Infrastructure Platform may expose physical resources, virtual resources, cloud services, or a combination of them. It may also provide resource provisioning, monitoring, access control, lifecycle management, and policy enforcement.
+A [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:d:deployment_platform|Deployment Platform]] may use an Infrastructure Platform directly or add orchestration, runtime, application, or management capabilities above it.
+===== Definition =====
+//managed foundation of computing, storage, networking, virtualization, identity, and related resources provided through defined interfaces and operational services//
+===== Source =====
+Generalized from infrastructure architecture, cloud computing, virtualization, data-center operations, and platform engineering usage and specialized for the Crucible architecture and operational model.
+===== Note =====
+An Infrastructure Platform differs from a general Platform by concentrating on foundational resources rather than application-facing or workload-specific capabilities.
+The same technical environment may function as both an Infrastructure Platform and a Deployment Platform when it directly hosts deployed workloads.
+===== Example =====
+A private virtualization cluster provides virtual machines, networks, storage volumes, identity integration, and management interfaces. These capabilities form an Infrastructure Platform for higher-level application and orchestration platforms.
