Bind runtime adapter, instance, generation and subject.
Deploy the exact verified subject, not a mutable model label.
Zippri’s managed deployment lifecycle binds a runtime to the artifact revision and evidence subject that was approved. Preview endpoints can prove execution while production can require stronger trust evidence and human authorization.
Preview and production are different authority levels
A preview runtime can prove that an artifact executes. Production can additionally require current benchmark, verification, Trust Passport and sealed release evidence before a human-approved start.
Track endpoint health and retained invocation hashes.
Keep production start and sensitive lifecycle actions under explicit authority.
Provider-owned runtime lifecycle
Provisioning, start, health, stop, restart and retire are provider-owned states with signed deployment manifests. A database label alone is not treated as proof that an endpoint is truly running.
Fail closed on stale evidence
If material evidence changes, the deployment subject can become stale. Zippri is designed to surface or withdraw currentness instead of silently continuing under the old trust state.
Common questions about AI Deployment
Can I create a preview API before production verification?
A preview path can be used for controlled execution proof when its own required evidence is current. Production can require stronger trust evidence.
What happens if the underlying model changes?
The bound subject no longer matches, so the deployment should be treated as stale rather than inheriting trust automatically.
Can Zippri deploy to different infrastructure providers?
The managed deployment model separates lifecycle authority from a single underlying infrastructure provider, allowing provider adapters to be governed independently.
