Key Features – Basic Orchestration
• Model the service and the workflow recipe using a common
TOSCA data model
• Define the structure of the service using HOCON
• The service is made up of resources, each resource defined
by the resource type
• The resource has properties or attributes. It also capabilities
and requirements for defining relationships with other
resources.
• DB stores the
resource definitions,
resource instances
• Abstract the underlying domains or devices to the common data model
and relationships
• Querying, patching • Expose capabilities through types, methods, etc. over REST APIs
using RESTful API’s • Build/Extend using DevOps Toolkit and data-driven techniques
