The Open Application Model (OAM) specification, a set of standard, higher-level abstractions for modeling cloud native application deployment across hybrid and multi-cloud environments. It is a versioned API documentation maintained as an open standard, implemented in practice by the KubeVela platform.
Use cases
- define cloud native applications with an app-centric model instead of infrastructure details
- port application deployments across Kubernetes, cloud providers, and edge devices without vendor lock-in
- standardize application delivery APIs across hybrid and multi-cloud environments
- modularize app deployment into reusable, extensible components
- separate developer concerns from operational behaviors in app definitions
When to choose
- you want a vendor-agnostic, app-centric specification for modeling application deployment
- you are building a platform on Kubernetes and want a standard higher-level application API
- you need consistent app delivery across hybrid, multi-cloud, or edge environments
When to avoid
- you need a runnable tool rather than a specification - use KubeVela or another OAM implementation instead
- your deployments are simple and fully Kubernetes-native without multi-cloud portability needs
- you require a permissively licensed codebase - this repo is a spec with a nonstandard license
