Test and development virtual machines are not logically separated from production virtual machines.
Description
Discussion Text
Test and development can be defined by using the folllowing definitions from the Enclave STIG. Testing is a process of technical investigation intended to reveal quality-related information about
the product with respect to the context in which it is intended to operate. This includes, but is not limited to, the process of executing a program or application with the intent of finding errors. Development is the process by which something passes by degrees to a different stage.
Test and development virtual machines will be logically separated from the production virtual machines. Logically separating test and development virtual machines ensures that any test and development traffic does not traverse the production LAN. This separation applies to Zone A and B only as referenced the Enclave STIG. Zone C and D should be completely isolated from any production network. This traffic separation will enhance the availability of the production servers. The preferred logical configuration is for the test and development VLAN to be assigned a dedicated physical network adapter on the ESX Server. If this is not feasible, then a separate VLAN on the production physical network adapter is acceptable.
