An open standard for defining cloud native apps.

Application Operators

Open Application Model [OAM] is a runtime-agnostic specification for
defining cloud native applications.

Infrastructure Operators

Focused on application rather than container or orchestrator. Open
Application Model brings modular, extensible, and portable design for
modeling cloud native applications and enable delivering applications
to any runtimes like Kubernetes, cloud, or IoT devices in a unified
approach.

Overview

Traditional Way

App Delivery is Hard

 1. Developers spend time on infrastructure details instead of apps -
    ingress, labels, DNS, etc, and learning how the infrastructure is
    implemented.
 2. Restricted abstractions and capabilities - introduced in-house
    APIs with opinionated abstractions to define the app, lack of
    interoperability across different components.
 3. Runtime lock-in - app description is tightly coupled with
    execution runtime, which heavily impact on how you configure,
    develop and operate the app

The OAM Way

An App-centric Approach

 1. Application first - define the app a self-contained model, where
    operational behaviors as part of app definition, free of
    infrastructure here.
 2. Clarity and extensibility - an open standard to modularize
    platform capabilities into reusable pieces, with full freedom to
    define or bring your own abstractions.
 3. Runtime agnostic - a consistent experience to deploy and operate
    your apps across on-prem clusters, cloud providers or even edge
    devices.

OAM is runtime-agnostic. Read its Purpose and Goals for more
