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. TOSCA will also make it possible for higher- level operational behavior to be associated with cloud infrastructure manage-ment.

"As we live in the more complex

and connected world, the industry

realized the need for a standards-

based approach to service and application portability and lifecycle

management.

It's gratifying to see the widespread

and still growing adoption and support from both commercial

solution providers and the open

source community that TOSCA now

enjoys."

— Paul Lipton of CA
