Note

Platform Independent Information may identify abstract resource types, logical services, required relationships, or required behavior without identifying provider-specific products, identifiers, formats, or interfaces.

Platform independence does not mean that the information can be implemented without transformation, mapping, parameterization, or selection of implementation technology.

The applicable architecture determines the permitted boundary between Platform Independent Information and Platform Specific Information.

Example

An Infrastructure Blueprint specifies that an Infrastructure Environment requires compute resources, persistent storage, network connectivity, identity services, and monitoring, without specifying a cloud provider instance type, storage class, network identifier, or service name.
