1 .TOSCA How TOSCA Adds Value and Portability in a Container-Centric World Topology and Orchestration Specification for Cloud Applications (TOSCA) Standard

2 .Agenda What and why TOSCA? Definition Addressing critical Cloud challenges for different roles, e.g., Cloud provider/platform, d eveloper/modeler (DevOps), etc. TOSCA eco-system and status How : a use case driven technical walk-thru of TOSCA Q&A and open discussion 2

3 .TOSCA is an important new open cloud standard, that is enabling a unique eco-system, supported by a large and growing number of international industry leaders… What is TOSCA? TOSCA is a machine and human readable, domain specific language, that defines the interoperable description of applications; including their components, relationships, dependencies, requirements, and c apabilities …. …thereby enabling portability and automated management across cloud providers regardless of underlying platform or infrastructure thus expanding customer choice , improving reliability , and reducing cost and time-to-value . 3

4 .4 TOSCA Application Model Web Server Tier Web Server Web App PHP Script Module Database Server Tier DB Server Database These concepts lead to an application-centric, holistic, unified model Reusable models extend investments by making it easy to compose more valuable and complex apps from existing apps Models can be validated by automation to ensure app-aware, policy-aligned configuration, deployment and operational semantics Containment and Connectivity concepts support Composition & Reuse The collective knowledge of application and infrastructure experts are captured as reusable TOSCA models Containment Connectivity

5 .5 TOSCA enables an eco-system where service providers can Compete and Differentiate to add value to Your Applications Each cloud provider competes by offering their “best fit” of unique capabilities, features, and services that match the application’s requirements Cloud Provider C Cloud Provider B TOSCA supports automated matching of application requirements to provider capabilities Portable Choice of Provider that “best fits” your application Avoid the “lowest-common denominator” approach… Choice Best Fit TOSCA App TOSCA Apps can be designed to be portable to any cloud (including hybrid) that meets the application’s requirements Cloud Provider A

6 .6 TOSCA Templates Agnostic to Cloud Infrastructure Changes TOSCA enables holistic application lifecycle automation while ensuring integrity, security and c ompliance Architects Model services, policies & requirements Development Teams Develop, unit test scripts, plans & artifacts for planned releases, patches, fixes QA Teams Build & Test releases, updates & configurations Operations Deploy, manage & monitor application lifecycle Cloud Provider A Cloud Provider C Cloud Provider B Design TOSCA Template Cloud Application Lifecycle with TOSCA TOSCA Template Develop TOSCA Template Test Build TOSCA Template TOSCA Template Deploy Infrastructure Changes Hot Packs Strategic Requests Operational Requests External Influences Business Conditions TOSCA templates communicate and drive app-centric Dev-Ops and continuous delivery
