Scope

Information related to the non-differentiating parts of deploying of VSC defined functions/capabilities/services in containers.

Possible examples might include:

• Open standards for the definition of the 'control' aspects of the defined service
• Service migration
• Service discovery

At the time of writing this could be considered an ancillary topic to 'VSC Core' which defines the core API model of those functions.

Initial discussions 4/6/22

Discussion in the group lead to a request for Renesas/Epam to make a container deployment definition proposal as a starting point. A proposal based on the open definition of containers taking the OCI standards as a starting point was created, with an example of how it might be integrated into a production system. This proposal was presented in the 4/6/22 meeting covering four broad areas:

• Container definition
• Container deployment
• Resource management
• API control
