TOSCA (Topology and Orchestration Specification for Cloud Applications)

TOSCA (Topology and Orchestration Specification for Cloud Applications) is a standard way to describe cloud-based applications and their components. It defines how these components are organized, connected, and managed, enabling consistent deployment and operation across different cloud environments. Think of it as a blueprint that specifies what resources are needed, how they fit together, and how to automate their setup and maintenance, ensuring applications run smoothly and reliably in the cloud.
