[Added Sanjiva to the list] Hi All,
IMO this composite application model is really important for the future of Stratos and it will become the foundation for all other features. Therefore we need to make sure that it is simple, easy to understand, covers all currently available requirements and easy to extend. At some point we might need to add extensions to support well known similar specifications such as CAMP, CloudML and TOSCA. At present I do not see much feedback from the community on this. Shall we walk through this and suggest refinements? I had some concerns and added them to the below document [1]. @IsuruH: Is the document up to date?
