LATEST CLOUD STANDARD INITIATIVES
Why TOSCA is Important to International Government Organizations Mr. Tobias Kunze, Cloud Platform Architect, Red Hat
TOSCA is important to international government organizations because all agencies are being mandated to evaluate cloud-based solutions for all IT investments. No doubt, governments rely extensively on MANY vendors in the private sector to provide IT solutions. Key requirements for these solutions will be "no vendor lock-in" and standards for interoperability between services and topologies for service deployment, migration, maintenance and replacement. The portability and orchestration capabilities enabled by TOSCA will become even more important as the number of cloud vendors and offered services increases in response to greater cloud adoption. TOSCA standards will also enable easier integration and information sharing among agencies such as US homeland security, for example, disaster response, national defense and other government services. The overall impact of well-implemented standards is not only more efficient service for the constituency but also better ROI throughout the IT organization.
