Developing Cloud Apps: HOT, TOSCA and MuranoPL

Learn which app definition language is right for you and your cloud apps! App definition languages describe application requirements in abstract ways, enabling deployment on diverse infrastructure. What language choices are available for OpenStack? TOSCA, HOT and MuranoPL are three popular examples: the first an open standard, the latter two used by Heat and Murano, respectively.

How do they compare? Attendees at this session will get a deep dive into these three Domain-Specific Languages (DSLs) and learn:

  • What problem(s) each DSL is engineered to solve - conceptual distinctions among DSLs
  • What features each DSL supports
  • Comparative maturity, advantages and disadvantages of each DSL
  • Questions to ask before choosing a DSL for your project

They’ll leave with broad understanding of available DSL choices, intentions, features, limitations and constraints, and enough information to begin hands-on evaluation and selection.
