Abstract:

Cloud Application Management for Platforms (CAMP) is a standard that addresses the problem of portability of artifacts and interoperability of APIs in a Platform as a Service (PaaS) environment. It defines the artifacts and APIs that need to be offered by a PaaS to manage building, running, administering, monitoring and patching of applications in the cloud. This is a collaborative and open standard that is being developed in OASIS.

One of the goals for this effort is to allow developers, users, and vendors to create tools and services that interact with any conforming PaaS. The interoperability between platform clouds that CAMP offers means that a CAMP client such as an ADE can target multiple clouds with a single common interface/implementation. In addition to various vendors, OpenStack Solum and Apache Brooklyn have both adopted CAMP and it is central to their design.

This talk will focus on the details of the CAMP specification, including its resource model, REST API, packaging format and descriptors; as well as its history, status and current implementations.
