Blueprint Catalog

Purpose: For platform engineers and decision-makers, provides a scannable reference of every openCenter blueprint with its current status, target audience, and key services.

Foundation

The openCenter platform foundation is not a blueprint. It is the Kubernetes, GitOps, security, observability, networking, and service-management layer that every blueprint builds on.

See openCenter Platform Foundation for the base capabilities shared across deployments.

Status Definitions

StatusMeaning
GAGenerally available. Supported in production. Covered by SLA.
PreviewAvailable for evaluation. Not yet covered by production SLA. Breaking changes possible.
PlannedOn the roadmap. Not yet available for deployment.

Blueprint Composition

Every blueprint builds on the openCenter platform foundation:

Industry Blueprint (Healthcare / Finance / Telco)
└── adds compliance policies, audit config, operational constraints
Workload Blueprint (Cloud / AI)
└── adds workload-specific services and configuration
openCenter Platform Foundation
└── upstream Kubernetes, FluxCD, security, observability, core services

Data Services blueprints are additive — they deploy alongside the platform foundation and any workload blueprint on the same cluster.

Version Compatibility

Blueprints are versioned alongside openCenter-gitops-base tags. A blueprint version is compatible with the platform version it was released with. Check the openCenter-gitops-base repository tags for the current compatibility matrix.
