A computing system includes a logic subsystem and memory storing instructions executable by the logic subsystem. The instructions are executable by the logic subsystem to store, in the memory, a plurality of software models that each describe aspects of a network connected device or a software service, the plurality of software models comprising a first version of a selected software model. The logic subsystem is configured to receive a second version of the selected software model and validate the second version of the selected software model via validation logic by applying one or more versioning rules to the second version of the selected software model. Based on the application of the one or more versioning rules, the logic subsystem is configured to execute a versioning action on the selected software model.

Software versioning for network connected devices

In one example of the technology, a mapping is established between: IoT devices that are tenants of an IoT support service, and tenants of a first third-party cloud service. On the IoT support service, device twins are stored, such that each device twin corresponds to a corresponding IoT device, and such that each device twins includes at least a first section that includes properties of the corresponding IoT device, and a second section that includes properties associated with the first third-party cloud service. The IoT support service is used to invoke a first method associated with at least one IoT device based on metadata in at least one corresponding device twin. The first method is associated with the first third-party cloud service.
