Invitation to comment on TOSCA Version 2.0
Public review - ends July 27th
OASIS and the OASIS Topology and Orchestration. Specification for Cloud Applications (TOSCA) TC are pleased to announce that TOSCA Version 2.0 is now available for public review and comment. This 30-day review is the third public review for this specification.
About the specification draft:
The Topology and Orchestration Specification for Cloud Applications (TOSCA) provides a language for describing application components and their relationships by means of a service topology, and for specifying the lifecycle management procedures for creation or modification of services using orchestration processes. The combination of topology and orchestration enables not only the automation of deployment but also the automation of the complete service lifecycle management. The TOSCA specification promotes a model-driven approach, whereby information embedded in the model structure (the dependencies, connections, compositions) drives the automated processes.
