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.
