Defining an integrated scenario with the ability to deploy distributed and heterogeneous software simultaneously across HPC, Function-as-a-Service (FaaS), and edge is a complex and challenging endeavour. During this presentation, the presenters will provide an overview of the TOSCA extensions defined by the EU projects RADON and SODALITE that enable such heterogeneous deployments. They’ll tell the story of how, by joining forces, the two projects have holistically integrated these extensions and the modelling and orchestration toolchain that can leverage them. Industrial use cases that further demonstrate the applicability of the joint RADON and SODALITE extensions will be showcased.

Comcast architecture leverages a number of information models and orchestration tools including TOSCA and YANG to enable complete life cycle management of SDN and NFV functionalities and to configure the physical and virtual devices that comprise an end-to-end service.

During this webinar, the speakers will share how TOSCA is being used to describe the orchestration between the resources across a complex end to end service(s) such as SD-WAN and Cloud Security. Also how Comcast makes use of the TOSCA orchestration capabilities such as substitution/service decomposition for vendor abstraction to realize some of the VNF use cases. TOSCA’s interface and life cycle operations are used for the implementation aspects. TOSCA’s requirement, capability types, node referencing features helps to define and visualize the end-to-end service as a topology graph of inter-connected nodes and navigate across connected services.

Ubicity is a pure TOSCA orchestrator: orchestration functionality is based exclusively on features in the TOSCA language without any built-in knowledge about domain-specific types or platform-specific implementations. Domain-specific information is introduced into the Orchestrator using TOSCA Profiles (a TOSCA Version 2.0 feature). Profiles include the artifacts that provide implementations for domain-specific types.

This webinar will highlight how Ubicity uses TOSCA features such as Requirement Fulfillment and Substitution Mapping to support abstract service templates that are realized based on available resources at deployment time. We will use deployment of Kubernetes Clusters as an example to demonstrate how Profiles are introduced into the Ubicity catalog, how the Orchestrator is made aware of external resources, how Service Archives are onboarded, and how services are deployed from the catalog.

Industrial manufacturing, long a laggard in the adoption of IT innovations, is experiencing a sudden and significant transformation of end-to-end digitalization. At the very heart of industrial manufacturing are proprietary solutions known as the “Industrial Control System” or “ICS”, an approximately $150B global market. Now entering testing and pilot demonstrations are Open-ICS architectures that are embracing modern IT technologies including virtualization and a 500X increase in compute power. And TOSCA is emerging as an important tool to simplify lifecycle management of applications and infrastructure in this Open-ICS environment. The webinar guest speakers will explain how CPLANE.ai just recently completed a highly successful pilot with ExxonMobil demonstrating the incredible power of orchestration using TOSCA in an Open-ICS.

This demonstration highlights the reduced startup time by more than 99% of an ICS. The speakers will also discuss how orchestration is being accepted as the key technology to displace proprietary systems. Orchestration is opening industrial manufacturing to Open and powerful IT and Cloud technologies, accelerating the digital transformation of industrial manufacturing. Yes, cloud architectures and technologies are conquering the heart of industrial manufacturing. Join us in this Webinar to learn how the TOSCA framework is leading the way.
