Abstract:
The TOSCA Simple Profile in YAML specifies a rendering of TOSCA which aims to
provide a more accessible syntax as well as a more concise and incremental
expressiveness of the TOSCA DSL in order to minimize the learning curve and
speed the adoption of the use of TOSCA to portably describe cloud
applications.
This proposal describes a YAML rendering for TOSCA. YAML is a human friendly
data serialization standard (http://yaml.org/) with a syntax much easier to
read
and edit than XML. As there are a number of DSLs encoded in YAML, a YAML
encoding of the TOSCA DSL makes TOSCA more accessible by these communities.

The TOSCA metamodel uses the concept of service templates to describe cloud
workloads as a topology template, which is a graph of node templates modeling
the components a workload is made up of and as relationship templates
modeling
the relations between those components. TOSCA further provides a type system
of
node types to describe the possible building blocks for constructing a
service
template, as well as relationship type to describe possible kinds of
relations.
