TOSCA Normative Types Proposal Internal Working Draft v0.5 Submitter: Matt Rutkowski
Proposed Normative (Base) Node Types – Viewed as “layers”
Structural Types
: RootNodeType – Part 1 Properties nametypePrescription default description name (component name) stringoptionalN/AComponent or service common name This is different than the Node’s “name” attribute or its “ID”. It is a property that can be matched via a requirement. (e.g. for MySQL Community Edition, name=“MySQL CE”) version (component version) stringoptionalN/AComponent or service’s version. (e.g. for “MySQL”, version might be “5.0.9” Definition: The fundamental type that all TOSCA NodeTypes derive from.

InstanceStates state Allowed operations description installinguninstallBeing installed. startingstop, uninstallBeing started. startedstop, uninstall (pause, suspend, capture, restore, restart) Available and ready for use. configuring?Should “configure” be assumed to be part of “starting”? stoppingstart, stop, uninstall (restart)Being stopped. stoppedstart, uninstall (capture, restore, restart) Powered off; no saved CPU or memory state. uninstallingBeing uninstalled. Note this applies to a CIMI Machine, CIMI Volume, CIMI Network restartIFF this is justifiable different than a “stop” followed by a “start” pausingBeing paused. Allowable actions : start, restart, and delete. pausedResources remain instantiated ; processing stopped; not enabled for tasks. Allowable actions: start, restart, backup, restore, delete. (sleep) suspendingMachine being suspended. Allowable actions when in this state are: start, restart, and delete. suspendedmachine and its virtual resources are stored on non-volatile storage. (hibernate) errorCIMI Machine, CIMI Volume, CIMI Network capturingCIMI Volume (snapshot), could apply to VMs? availableCIMI Volume (perhaps use started instead?) Notes: If lifecycle operations are sequential (i.e. rely upon script completion) then perhaps allowing operations for “transitional” states do not make sense. Seems to help “imperative” models more so than declarative The set of Potential InstanceState values available for any node:
RootNodeType: Tier (this is a “grouping” type) Definition A tier is a topological concept used to describe sets of nodes (or sub-topologies) that can be deployed and managed as a single logical processing element with specific scalability, availability and other group-wise semantics while supporting a specific kind of application processing (sometimes referred to as “roles”). Tiers that support the same kind of application processing are substitutable. The application processing capability of a tier is a function of the kinds of application components which are hosted by its constituent compute elements. The tier’s scaling discipline defines how and when the capacity of the tier is adjusted. Requirements namerequirementTypelowerboundupperboundconstraints N/A---- Capabilities namecapabilityTypelowerboundupperboundconstraints nodesServerContainerCapability0unboundedTBD – It seems that “tiers” should capable of containing any type of nodes not just servers. InstanceStates statedescription N/A- Interfaces nameparmsdescription N/A-- Properties nametypePrescription default description minInstancesintegerRequired1Minimum number of instances for scaling tier (range 1 - N). maxInstancesintegerRequired1Maximum number of instances for scaling tier (range 1 - N). * This is primarily a grouping concept for scaling. Is there a better way?
IaaS Types
RootNodeType : Compute (formerly Server) Definition An instantiated compute resource that encapsulates both CPU and Memory. Ideally, this would support a “built-in” host OS (or platform API), as many typical / common use cases assume one.

How does this value factor with “Tier” for scaling? Note: These could be “virtual” CPUs Restricted only by provider capability? memoryintegerRequiredN/A?Memory (in MB): Amount of memory (for the virtual machine) - Same as above? diskintegerRequiredN/A?Disk (in GB): Amount of disk space to allow execution of the application (e.g. for the Virtual Machine) Perhaps define a type based on “integer” that represents “storage size” Megabytes to be used by both memory and disk properties (and elsewhere) -same as above?

RootNodeType : OperatingSystem (Optionally merge as a property of “Compute” Node Type) Definition TBD – This is typically a guest OS. Ideally, if indeed for 99% of use cases it is simply an OSType and version would like to flatten this conceptually as properties on Server/VM Requirements namerequirementTypelowerboundupperboundconstraints containerOperatingSystemContainerRequirement11 Capabilities namecapabilityTypelowerboundupperboundconstraints softwareSoftwareContainerCapability0unbounded InstanceStates statedescription N/A- Interfaces nameparmsdescription N/A Properties nametypePrescription default description OSstringOptionalN/AOpeerating System name (e.g. “Ubuntu”).

Runtime (PaaS) Types
RootNodeType : WebServer Definition TBD – Ideally, would like to move towards an “Application Runtime” (indicates additive APIs / language to the OS) since that is its primary purpose.
