This document discusses XOS and its role in OpenCORD. It describes how XOS uses a synchronizer to manage state changes to data models and synchronize them with OpenStack. Core components of OpenCORD include OpenStack, ONOS, XOS, and OCP. OpenCORD projects on GitHub include platform installation tools, XOS, MaaS, and services like AAA and Voltha. XOS assembles services using separate containers for the database, webserver, and synchronizer. TOSCA is used to describe application topologies and orchestrate operations across cloud providers.
