Work Product Title: Topology and Orchestration Specification for Cloud
Applications Version 1.0
(a) COS URI: http://docs.oasis-open.org/tosca/TOSCA/v1.0/TOSCA-v1.0.html
(b) COS URI (editable source):
http://docs.oasis-open.org/tosca/TOSCA/v1.0/TOSCA-v1.0.doc
(c) Certification by the TC that all schema and XML instances are well-formed
and that expressions are valid: We so certify
(d) A clear English-language summary of the specification:
The concept of a "service template" is used to specify the "topology"
(or structure) and "orchestration" (or invocation of management behavior)
of
IT services. Typically, services are provisioned in an IT infrastructure and
their management behavior must 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.
(e) Relationship of this specification to similar work: This specification is
at
a higher level of abstraction and greater breadth than other works, covering
all
cloud service models and the entire lifecycle of a service, e.g., deploy,
scale,
undeploy, patch, etc.. OASIS CAMP could be considered to cover a narrow
subset
related to PaaS and deployment.
