ARIA is a an open-source, TOSCA-based, lightweight library and CLI for orchestration and for consumption by projects building TOSCA-based solutions for resources and services orchestration.

ARIA can be utilized by any organization that wants to implement TOSCA-based orchestration in its solutions, whether a multi-cloud enterprise application, or an NFV or SDN solution for multiple virtual infrastructure managers.

With ARIA, you can utilize TOSCA's cloud portability out-of-the-box, to develop, test and run your applications, from template to deployment.

ARIA is an incubation project under the Apache Software Foundation.

ARIA is available on PyPI.

ARIA requires Python 2.6/2.7. Python 3 is currently not supported.

To install ARIA directly from PyPI (using a wheel), use:

pip install --upgrade pip setuptools
pip install apache-ariatosca

To install ARIA from source, download the source tarball from PyPI, extract and cd into the extract dir, and run:

pip install --upgrade pip setuptools
pip install .

Ubuntu/Debian (tested on Ubuntu14.04, Ubuntu16.04):

apt-get install -y python-dev gcc libffi-dev libssl-dev
pip install aria[ssh]

Centos (tested on Centos6.6, Centos7):

yum install -y python-devel gcc libffi-devel openssl-devel
pip install aria[ssh]

Archlinux:

pacman -Syu --noconfirm python2 gcc libffi openssl
pip2 install aria[ssh]

Windows (tested on Win10):

# no additional system requirements are needed
pip install aria[ssh]

MacOS:

# TODO

To install pip, either use your distro's package management system, or run:

wget http://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py
python get-pip.py

This section will describe how to run a simple "Hello World" example.

First, provide ARIA with the ARIA "hello world" service-template and name it (e.g. my-service-template):

aria service-templates store examples/hello-world/helloworld.yaml my-service-template

Now create a service based on this service-template and name it (e.g. my-service):

aria services create my-service -t my-service-template

Finally, start an install workflow execution on my-service like so:

aria executions start install -s my-service

You should now have a simple web-server running on your local machine. You can try visiting http://localhost:9090 to view your deployed application.

To uninstall and clean your environment, follow these steps:

aria executions start uninstall -s my-service
aria services delete my-service
aria service-templates delete my-service-template
