NFV is the hot new topic in telecom. Since telecom architectures are quite complex, it is very important that the orchestration of the various VNFs and components is executed in a standardized manner that is portable to any infrastructure. OASIS TOSCA (Topology and Orchestration Specification for Cloud Applications) is an open standard domain specific language, with profiles based on popular languages such as YAML, that describes the topology of cloud based services, their components, relationships, and management processes. In this talk, we will explain how TOSCA can be used to model any VNF and network service and its components in a multi-VIM environment and present various TOSCA use cases being implemented in the real world.
