What Is “(Cloud) Service Template” All About?What Is “(Cloud) Service Template” All About?

A new language (“metamodel”) to specify the building blocks of your application the management functions these

building blocks offer to be managed

the relations between these building blocks

Collection of node types and relationship types(for reuse purposes)

the procedures to follow in order to manage your application as a whole

How Plans and Nodes Fit TogetherHow Plans and Nodes Fit Together

Task of a plan refers to interface of a topology node

Topology node specifies all interfaces offered to manage it Interface is bound to a concrete implementation

Implementation already available at providers side, or Implementation is copied from somewhere, or A standardized Cloud Interface (Iaas, PaaS, SaaS) is used,

TOSCA is modular and composable

It does not reinvent the wheel, i.e. it uses existing standards wherever possible E.g. WSDL, BPMN, OVF,…

On PremiseOn Premise

The Web Services required by the BPEL processes are hosted on premise

The EJBs (e.g.) implementing the Web Services are deployed on WebSphere hosted on premise

The application data of the WS/EJBs are stored in DB2 on premise

This ensures compliance with data privacy/confidentiality rules

Process Server etc is installed and managed at Amazon’s EC2

The corresponding middleware is provided as AMIs

The process models are deployed on Process Server

Process Server maintains state data in DB2 also running in EC2

28

Example: Reusing Existing ServicesExample: Reusing Existing Services

Only the processes and required middleware is managed on a “known” cloud

The Web Services needed by the BPEL processes are reused “wherever” they are

The existing Web Services are bound to the BPEL process by the established mechanisms

Specifying binding details can be part of the build plan of the application’s Service Template (.ste)WebSphere
