30-day Public Review for TOSCA Simple Profile in YAML v1.1 – ends Nov. 16th

The OASIS Topology and Orchestration Specification for Cloud Applications (TOSCA) TC [1] members have recently approved a Committee Specification Draft (CSD) and submitted it for 30-day public review:

TOSCA Simple Profile in YAML Version 1.1
Committee Specification Draft 01 / Public Review Draft 01
25 August 2016

What is the TOSCA Simple Profile in YAML and why is it important?

TOSCA Simple Profile in YAML defines a simplified profile of the TOSCA Version 1.0 specification in a YAML rendering which is intended to simplify the authoring of TOSCA service templates. This profile defines a less verbose and more human-readable YAML rendering, reduced level of indirection between different modeling artifacts as well as the assumption of a base type system.
