Abstract
Technical solutions are described for selecting components from multiple vendors for a system. An example computer-implemented method includes receiving, by a processor, an environment map that identifies a first component placeholder of the system. The computer-implemented method further includes identifying, by the processor, that the first component placeholder interfaces with a second component placeholder of the system. The computer-implemented method further includes determining, by the processor, a role assigned to the first component placeholder, where the role indicates a type of data that a first component at the first component placeholder communicates with a second component at the second component placeholder. The computer-implemented method further includes determining, by the processor, a list of components for selecting the first component, where each component from the list of components matches the role assigned to the first component placeholder.
