This GitHub public repository ( https://github.com/oasis-open/tosca-community-contributions ) was created at the request of the OASIS Topology and Orchestration Specification for Cloud Applications (TOSCA) TC as an OASIS TC Open Repository to support development of open source resources related to Technical Committee work.
While this TC Open Repository remains associated with the sponsor TC, its development priorities, leadership, intellectual property terms, participation rules, and other matters of governance are separate and distinct from the OASIS TC Process and related policies.
This repository manages TOSCA service templates and definitions that are contributed by the TOSCA community and that can serve as a starting point to help community members with their TOSCA projects. Contributions may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Profiles: collections of TOSCA type definitions for specific application domains.
- Examples: example service templates (and associated artifacts) that can be used to deploy simple services.
- Tests: service templates that can be used by parser designers or orchestrator designers to check compliance with the TOSCA specification.
- Tools: parsers, validators, translators, orchestrators, or other tools contributed by the TOSCA community.
- Best practices: design patterns and development methodologies that are intended to optimize the quality of TOSCA profiles and service templates.
Note that this repository is not intended to track all implementations of the TOSCA language. For a list of such implementations, please refer to the Known TOSCA Implementations wiki page.
