Murano/Generic Metadata Repository

Introduction

Murano Application Catalog works with Cloud Applications and Services. These may have diverse inner structures and some sophisticated deployment and maintenance logic, so Murano requires to have complete definitions of these logic and structure. Also, the applications themselves often require some dependencies or binaries to be bundled to install. These definitions and dependencies are grouped into the collections, which are then archived to single files, called Murano Repository Packages. As the catalog grows up, storing and manipulating these Packages becomes a complicated task, which is quite independent from the rest of Murano's functionality
