DESCRIPTION
Business applications are the crown jewels of the new, cloud-based, application-centric economy. Cloud service providers and their diverse platform technologies are striving to serve these increasingly complex, mission-critical business applications. However, rapidly accelerating business, technical, and even regulatory requirements for applications make it increasingly difficult for cloud service providers and cloud platform technologies to meet the needs of innovative businesses for speed, accuracy and agility. What was missing, until recently, was an open standard that would enable business to capture and automate the use of expert knowledge regarding essential details such as business application components, dependencies, and a wide range of requirements that could be automatically matched to corresponding cloud service provider capabilities. Cloud vendor software leveraging such an open standard would enable, for the first time, a truly competitive ecosystem where cloud platform and service providers can leap beyond commoditization in order to compete, innovate, and better serve the accelerating needs of cloud-based businesses. The Topology and Orchestration Specification for Cloud Applications (TOSCA) is a new open standard created with the active participation of leading technology vendors, cloud service providers, and customers that facilitates all of the above goals and more. TOSCA defines the interoperable description of applications; including their components, relationships, dependencies, requirements, and capabilities, thereby enabling portability and semi-automatic management across cloud providers regardless of underlying platform or infrastructure; thus expanding customer choice, improving reliability, and reducing cost and time-to-value. These characteristics also facilitate the portable, continuous delivery of applications (DevOps) across their entire lifecycle. In short, they empower a much higher level of agility and accuracy for business in the cloud. The growing impact of TOSCA has already inspired an OASIS Interop with six vendors demonstrating cross-cloud interoperability, an ODCA Proof-of-Concept demonstration, and several open source projects. This lively and fast-paced session is suitable for both business and technology focused thought-leaders, and will provide you with a better understanding of the potential and business impact of TOSCA.

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
