Great, Thanks

I will send a separate mail with detailed information, to add a brief description to this discussion, CAMP provides a domain model for defining relationships among Platforms, Plans, Services, Components, Assemblies, etc. Based on this domain model CAMP defines an archive file format called Platform Deployment Package (PDP) which could be used for defining composite service definitions which ensures portability across platforms. A PDP would contain a plan definition which internally defines a set of services which will be deployed for the given plan: Plan Definition: { "uri": URI, "name": String, "type": "plan", "description": String ?, "tags": String[] ?, "representation_skew": String ?, "camp_version": String, "origin": String ?, "artifacts": [ { "name": String ?, "description": String ?, "tags": String[] ?, "artifact_type": String, "content": { "href": URI }, "requirements": [ { "requirement_type": String, "fulfillment": { "name": String ?, "description": String ?, "tags": String[] ?, "id": String ?, "href": URI ?, "characteristics": { characteristic: String + } } ? } + ] ?, } + ] ?, "services": [ { "name": String ?, "description": String ?, "tags": String[] ?, "id": String ?, "href": URI ?, "characteristics": { characteristic: String + } } + ] ? } If we compare this model with what we currently use in Stratos 4.0.0 for deploying services I think we could adapt CAMP specification without much of a problem. I'm currently looking into this, will post more information soon.

Adding service group property to Cartridge definition) today. Looks like Sajith just added an enhancement to allow grouping of services. Sajith, Can you comment on the use of the new service group property?

It is great if you can do some R&D on it. We have to focus on following, which came to my mind at this point * How we can group cartridges (cartridge type, versioning etc.) * Need to identifying cupeling pattens. loosely coupled or tiredly coupled. For eg. some scenario we have to group application cartridge with data cartridges, in that case best is run in single network partition. This is somewhat tiredly coupled. So scaling them into deferent region, we have to maintain these coupling. (sometime we have to maintain ratio of the cartridge dependency) * How can we deploy composite application artifacts into relevant cartridges. (single repository maintain artifacts for all group cartridges. Artifact distribution coordinator which reside in SM need to distribute among dependance cartridges) * think about scale up/down scenarios * Start dependancies IMO we can bring this support on 4.1.0/4.2.0 release. thanks On Tue, Mar 18, 2014 at 7:57 AM, Nirmal Fernando <nirmal070...@gmail.com<mailto:nirmal070...@gmail.com>> wrote: Hi Martin, Sometime back Paul suggested Stratos to use the CAMP specification http://www.infoq.com/news/2012/08/CAMP-PaaS May be you can get some ideas out of it.

Examples would be - maintaining a boot sequence (e.g. for service A to boot up service B needs to be up, etc ...), - scaling of a group of services (if service A needs to scale up, service B and C also need to scale up) - restart (e.g. based on health monitoring, e.g. if service B is unhealthy restart service B and A) Some idea which comes to mind is to define the dependencies and extend current autoscaler rules to handle the various scenarios or define a new message type which could trigger specific rules. Any thoughts on that how to support this ? Thanks Martin -- Best Regards, Nirmal Nirmal Fernando. PPMC Member & Committer of Apache Stratos, Senior Software Engineer, WSO2 Inc.
