What is the Blueprint?

The SmartLivingNEXT Blueprint is the reference implementation for the SmartLivingNEXT participation setup. Its components are completely open source.
In addition to all the components mentioned above, it contains comprehensive documentation and the configuration data (HelmCharts) required for simple implementation in a cloud environment.
Thanks to its modular structure, participants can use only the components required for their purposes and expand these at a later date.
The blueprint creates standardization, reduces complexity and ensures that all participants can work interoperably.

How do you operate a SmartLivingNEXT participation setup?

Participating organizations can choose between two operating models:

Self Hosted Setup

Here, the participating organization is independently responsible for the provision, monitoring and maintenance of a SmartLivingNEXT participation setup in the cloud environment of its choice. This option is ideal for organizations with their own experience and existing resources in operating a cloud environment.

It offers

Complete control over all components
Integration into existing IT environments
Full flexibility in the architecture

Self-hosted setup in 5 steps

Deploy Blueprint: Set up your setup in your own cloud
environment. The Helm charts are already preconfigured.
Get access: We register you in identity and
access management.
Connect data: Record your own data offerings in the
federated catalog and make them accessible to others.

Managed setup

The technical federator operates a SmartLivingNEXT participation setup configured for each organization. This variant is suitable for organizations that want fast, uncomplicated participation. The advantages are

Technical operation is fully taken over
lower entry barriers,
Ideal for pilot projects, smaller companies or quick go-lives

It is possible to switch between the two models at any time. For example, a quick go-live can take place with the managed setup and a separate environment can be set up in parallel for a later move. The core promise of full data sovereignty is equally guaranteed with both models.
