Abstract: A component life cycle management system includes a computing system that executes instructions to receive component information associated with a component to be included in a customized integrated computing system. From the received component information, the instructions create a logical design element (DE) using the received component information, the DE representing an abstracted representation of the component, and assign a life cycle phase tag to the component, the life cycle phase tag representing one of multiple life cycle phases of the component, each life cycle phase representing a portion of a life cycle that the component is available for implementation in the customized integrated computing system. The instructions also restrict modification to the DE according to the life cycle tag assigned to the DE.
