What is TOSCA?
TOSCA defines the
interoperable description
of applications; including
their components,
relationships,
dependencies,
requirements, and
capabilities.

Typical Deployment Cycle
17
• Step 1: Model Your Application
‒ Standards-based Blueprint (TOSCA)
• Step 2: Install Your Application
‒ Provision VMs, Configure Network
‒ Integrate with Chef, Puppet, Docker, SaltStack
• Step 3: Manage Your Application
‒ Add Monitoring, Logging, Alerts
‒ Execute Workflow for Updates, Patches, etc.
• Step 4: Add Auto-Healing, Auto-Scaling
‒ Continuously Detect and Correct Failure
‒ Add More Capacity through Auto-scaling
