OASIS Members,

OASIS is pleased to announce publication of "Emerging Compute Models:
Recommendations and Sample Profile Version 1.0," a Committee Note from the
members of the OASIS Topology and Orchestration Specification for Cloud
Applications (TOSCA) TC [1].

This document discusses use-cases for TOSCA in the scope of emergent
compute models such as function-as-a-service (FaaS) computing,
internet-of-things/edge computing, and high-performance computing (HPC).

Emergent compute models reflect the adoption of one or more hybrid forms of
cloud computing, thereby embedding at least two combinations of compute
models such as (a) function-as-a-service (FaaS) computing; (b)
internet-of-things/edge computing; (c) high-performance computing (HPC). In
the scope of the Emergent Compute ad-Hoc (ECAH), we explored the
aforementioned compute models with the key objectives of exploring and/or
prototyping TOSCA-based constructs and patterns for (1) serverless and
FaaS-computing orchestration; (2) edge-computing and edge-based data
pipelines orchestration; (3) high-performance computing orchestration. In
the scope of the aforementioned activities, this deliverable offers details
over:
· A series of use-cases for TOSCA usage in the scope of any of the
aforementioned emergent compute models;
· Best practices and tools for the use of TOSCA;
· A working profile example to the TOSCA Language which supports
Emergent Compute Paradigms (e.g., FaaS);
· A set of recommended extensions w.r.t. features enrichment of the
current TOSCA notation, e.g., policies or trusted data-sharing and
orchestration in such an ambient.
