2. Docker Container Modeling Goals Goals (not requirements) Not proliferate Node Types for “Docker” 1.Consider modeling “Docker” as an (explicit) runtime Capability Type 2.Consider using a Property either within existing Container Capability Type within a new Containee Node Type Note: this is essentially how Azure PaaS does it 3.Consider using Artifact Type (i.e., Docker image) to imply Runtime Note: this is how CloudFoundry PaaS works (introspects app’s code) Allow model to allow Docker container so that it can be run on a PaaS (implicit container) an IaaS platform (explicit container) Note: this implies Compute Node and Container Node have interchangeable capabilities. If the Docker image has a WebServer (e.g., Apache) inside it, we want to reflect this in the TOSCA model Consider using existing WebServer Node Type Consider using a new WebServer Capability Type
