Cloud Application Management for Platforms (CAMP) is a specification for managing applications in the context of a platform as a service (PaaS) system. CAMP is designed to address the needs of a high-level PaaS system; one in which the consumer (generally a developer or application administrator) provides application artifacts (code, data, graphics, etc.) and specifies which provider-supplied services are required to realize these artifacts as an application. The details of the infrastructure (compute, storage, and networking) used to support these services are hidden from the consumer by the provider of the PaaS system.
