OSIRIS (Open Specification for Infrastructure Resource Interchange Schema) defines a vendor-neutral JSON format for describing infrastructure resources, their properties and their topological relationships across heterogeneous IT and OT environments.
Modern infrastructure spans multiple stacks and providers: hyperscalers (AWS, Azure, GCP etc.), public cloud and hosting providers, on-prem datacenters, hybrid networks and complex OT environments integration.
While some platforms export inventories (often as JSON), the representations are inconsistent across providers/vendors even for equivalent concepts like identity, properties and relationships. Accurate topology documentation is expensive and fragile. Teams rely on partial, inaccurate documentation and hand-drawn diagrams and manual maintained documents leaving critical context in people's heads.
OSIRIS JSON normalizes exports from hyperscalers and cloud providers, on-prem datacenters (compute, storage, network) and supports OT inclusion where applicable (initial v1.0 scope). Designed for cross-platform visibility and portable consumption by tools (diagramming, inventory, audit) without requiring each consumer to implement vendor-specific parsers.
OSIRIS JSON is a static snapshot interchange format. It captures what exists and how it relates at a point in time. It was not designed as a real-time monitoring system, a deployment tool, or an Infrastructure-as-Code engine.
Optimized for scenarios where documentation and topology must be exchanged between systems and teams.
-
Reliable, flexible infrastructure snapshots Capture “what exists” and “how it relates” at a point in time.
-
Documentation-ready outputs Enable consistent inventories, technical summaries and system context.
-
Diagram-friendly topology Provide normalized relationships for automated visualization and diagram generation.
-
Feeding CMDB / IPAM / DCIM workflows Export normalized data into systems of record and asset management tools.
-
Audit support Assist evidence collection and traceability by standardizing structure and relationships.
