Local service
Platform Core, selected Labs and capabilities run on a workstation, VM or single server—suited to development, laboratories, isolated environments and smaller teams.
Connected operating architecture
As an OS. As a local service. In the cloud. Connected together.
Orthevs is designed as a distributable engineering system. The same contracts, identities and artifact models are intended to connect a local instance, private or public cloud services and Orthevs OS without dissolving their operating and trust boundaries.
4Operating forms
Operating forms
Four operating forms. One shared system model.
A capability should run where data, resources, risk and operational responsibility require it. The control plane coordinates while execution and data storage can deliberately remain local, distributed or cloud-based.
Private or public cloud
Services run with scalable and highly available profiles. Provider-specific functions remain visibly bounded behind adapters and explicit capability contracts.
Orthevs OS
The long-term target is an integrated distribution with Orthevs Runtime and a shared web, desktop, CLI and TUI experience. It can execute local capabilities and consume connected services.
Connected environment
Local, cloud and OS instances collaborate in a federated model. Workflows can dispatch tasks to suitable execution targets while identity, policy, audit and provenance remain continuous.
Connection points
Connect without blurring boundaries.
The connection is not based on shared internal databases. It is formed through published capabilities, controlled identities and referenced artifacts.
Capability Contracts
Versioned APIs, events and artifact schemas define verifiable handovers.
Federated identity
Short-lived scoped identities replace broadly shared credentials.
Policy & trust
Each environment retains its own policies, approvals and trust boundaries.
Artifacts & provenance
Digests, signatures and provenance connect outcomes without exposing internal storage.
Events & operation IDs
Asynchronous flows remain correlatable and auditable across system boundaries.
Targeted execution
Data and workloads remain where location, hardware, cost or protection needs require them.
Connection model
Orthevs Distributed Engineering System
The operating forms and federated connection described here are the strategic target. Existing Docker services and local deployments are the technical starting point; maturity and supported scope will be stated per release.
