Abstract: The concept of a "service template" is used to specify the
"topology" (or structure) and "orchestration" (or invocation of
management behavior) of IT services (or simply "services" from here on).
Typically, services are provisioned in an IT infrastructure and their
management
behavior needs to be orchestrated in accordance with constraints or policies
from there on, for example in order to achieve service level objectives. This
specification introduces the formal description of Service Templates,
including
their structure, properties, and behavior.
TC Description:
The OASIS TOSCA TC works to enhance the portability of cloud applications and
services. TOSCA will enable the interoperable description of application and
infrastructure cloud services, the relationships between parts of the
service,
and the operational behavior of these services (e.g., deploy, patch,
shutdown)--independent of the supplier creating the service, and any
particular
cloud provider or hosting technology.

The TC is currently focused on the creation of a non-normative Primer that
illustrates suggested use and provides examples based on the TOSCA language.
It
has also launched an Interoperability Subcommittee.
