Open Application Model is a runtime-agnostic specification for modeling cloud native applications.
Open Application Model is a runtime-agnostic specification for building cloud native application platforms.

Focused on **application** as first-class citizen, _Open Application Model_ brings modular, extensible, and portable standard for building app-centric platforms on any runtime system like Kubernetes, cloud, or IoT devices.

> **NOTICE:** The current working draft of OAM specification (0.2.x release) is under pre-beta release, which means the specification is still under development but will keep backward compatibility for any further change.

![How it works][how-it-works]

### Why Open Application Model?
- Define modern application by default.
- Configure operational configurations driven by intention.
- Build standard application platforms across organizations, no silos.
- Assemble platforms with modularized and re-usable components and traits, highly customizable.
- Decouple abstraction and implementation, enable runtime-agnostic and polyglot, no capability lock-in.

For application developers, operators or DevOps:
- Build modern applications by default.
- Think applications, not containers or orchestrators.
- Operation is part of the application lifecycle.

For platform builders:
- Build developer facing platforms by default.
- Clarity and manageability for operational capabilities.
- Create modularized and re-usable components - no silos, highly extensible.
- Decouple abstractions and implementation - no capability lock-in.

### Team-centric and separation of concerns
