  • Network configurations
  • Volume mappings
  • Environment variables (secrets excluded)
  • Health check definitions
  • Resource limits
  • Security policies (user, capabilities, read-only)

Validation Rules:

  • All services must have health checks
  • All containers must specify non-root user where possible
  • All secrets must use external env files
  • All images must use specific tags (no :latest)
  • Resource limits must be defined for CPU and memory

Backup Archive

Description: Complete system snapshots including databases, files, and configurations with metadata
Key Attributes:

  • Archive ID (unique identifier)

  • Backup type (full/incremental)
  • Source environment
  • Data sources (databases, files, configs)
  • Compression status
  • Encryption status
  • Validation status
  • Retention period
  • Storage location

Validation Rules:

  • All archives must be encrypted
  • All archives must have integrity validation
  • Backup frequency: daily for critical data
  • Retention: 30 days daily, 90 days weekly, 1 year monthly
  • Must include database consistency checks

Monitoring Metric

Description: Performance and health data points collected from all infrastructure components
Key Attributes:

  • Metric ID (unique identifier)
  • Source service/container
  • Metric name and type
  • Value and timestamp
  • Labels and dimensions
  • Threshold definitions
  • Alert status
  • Aggregation rules

Validation Rules:

  • All services must expose health metrics
  • Critical metrics must have alert thresholds
  • Data retention: 90 days detailed, 1 year aggregated
  • Metrics must include CPU, memory, disk, network
  • Application-specific metrics for business logic

Security Policy

Description: Container hardening rules and compliance requirements for all deployments
Key Attributes:

  • Policy ID (unique identifier)
  • Policy type (user, capabilities, filesystem)
  • Rule definitions
  • Applicable services
  • Compliance status
  • Violation tracking
  • Remediation procedures

Validation Rules:

  • All containers must run with non-root users
  • All containers must drop unnecessary capabilities
  • All containers must use read-only filesystems where possible
  • All containers must have security options defined
  • Regular vulnerability scanning required

Deployment Environment

Description: Isolated runtime spaces with consistent configurations
Key Attributes:

  • Environment ID (unique identifier)
  • Environment type (blue/green)
  • Service instances
  • Network configuration
  • Storage configuration

  • Deployment status
  • Health status

Validation Rules:

  • Blue and green environments must be identical
  • Network isolation between environments
  • Consistent configuration across environments
  • Automated health checks required
  • Traffic switching must be atomic

Alert Rule

Description: Threshold-based conditions that trigger notifications when system metrics exceed limits
Key Attributes:

  • Rule ID (unique identifier)
  • Metric source
  • Threshold conditions
  • Severity levels

  • Suppression rules
  • Acknowledgment status

Validation Rules:

  • All critical services must have alert rules
  • Alert response time must be < 30 seconds
  • Must include escalation paths

Validation Rules:

  • No secrets in version control
  • All secrets must be encrypted at rest

State Transitions

Deployment Lifecycle

Requested -> Approved -> Implemented -> Validated -> Closed

Relationships

  • Environment contains many Service Instances
  • Service Instance generates Monitoring Metrics
  • Backup Archive contains data from Service Instances
  • Alert Rule monitors Monitoring Metrics
  • Security Policy applies to Service Instances
  • Infrastructure Change modifies Deployment Environments
  • Recovery Point references Backup Archive
  • Secret Configuration used by Service Instances

Data Integrity Constraints

  • All entities must have unique identifiers
  • All timestamps must be UTC
  • All audit fields must be immutable
  • Foreign key relationships must be validated
  • All sensitive data must be encrypted
  • All changes must be auditable
