Foundation Composition​

Every blueprint listed above inherits the Platform Foundation. The foundation provides 20+ platform services including observability, security, GitOps tooling, storage, networking, and backup. Blueprints add workload-specific or compliance-specific layers on top.

Versioning​

Blueprints are versioned via Git tags on openCenter-gitops-base. Customer clusters pin to a specific tag (e.g., v1.0.0) in their FluxCD GitRepository source. Upgrades are a tag bump in the cluster overlay.
