Ystia Orchestrator

Yorc is an hybrid cloud/HPC TOSCA orchestrator.

It aims to support the whole application lifecycle, from deployment, scaling, monitoring, self-healing, self-scaling to application upgrade, over hybrid infrastructures (IaaS, HPC schedulers, CaaS).

Yorc is TOSCA native to allow handling complex applications in a standard way. Yorc is also workflow-driven, this means that it doesn't contain any hard-coded lifecycle logic. This allows to fully customize applications behavior and to execute custom workflows at runtime.

Yorc is designed for large-scale, it is built with a tasks / stateless workers model in mind allowing to scale it horizontally easily.

Finally, while you can easily interact with Yorc directly thanks to its comprehensive REST API and a modern CLI, the recommended way to use Yorc is to model your applications in a powerful TOSCA designer called alien4cloud and to use it to deploy and interact with your application at runtime. Yorc is now the official orchestrator for Alien4Cloud and Alien4Cloud distributions comes with a specific plugin for Yorc.
