[cosmos-mgmt] Request to add a deployment team
|
Hi,
I request consideration for addition of a deployment team to your COSMOS project. There is work underway in OASIS to standardize deployment data in the form of a Solution Deployment Descriptor (SDD) as well as provide best practices for developing and deploying SDDs. For your reference our public committee page can be found here http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=sdd.
While the SDD will be a standard with the weight of OASIS behind it, we are lacking a runtime and repository support for processing of SDDs. In particular this [the runtime and repository] is a project that we would like to explore developing under the COSMOS umbrella. I believe such a runtime directly relates to several of the COSMOS initiatives such as:
Deployment modeling
Deployment
Dynamic configuration
Configuration change tracking
And perhaps touches on some of the other focus areas in COSMOS as well.
Additionally, there are tools that will need to be developed in order to support the creation of SDDs. We feel that these tools also benefit from being developed in an open source community and wish to include them as a tools sub-team either directly under COSMOS or as a sub-team under the proposed deployment team.
Thanks for your consideration and if there are any questions please let me know.
-Jason
