Composite applications using service component architecture model and open virtualization format

摘要

Composite applications can be created that utilize a plurality of different services across a plurality of different cloud stack layers. The composite applications are defined using the Service Component Architecture (SCA) model. Composite applications can be translated from the SCA model into a format compatible for a virtualization platform, such as the Open Virtualization Format (OVF). Composite applications, as defined in the format compatible for the virtualization platform, can be deployed on the virtualization platform.
