2. Content Structure of CSU File
3. Manifest file
Entire section illustrates the content using a sample Apache workload which allows you to deploy single
Apache server on a Moonshot cartridge.

topology document. Every workload must have a default
profile corresponding to topology document.
Application Software

contains infrastructure hints in cloud agnostic format so that
appropriate cloud resources can be discovered and can be
referred in deployment profiles, which are used to deploy
(often termed as launch) a given workload.
Specifies OS image used in server provisioning. A workload can
have number of OS images depending upon the server design
mentioned in the topology.
Every Baremetal OS image is associated with a kernel image
which is used during PXE boot process.
Every Baremetal OS image is associated with a RAMdisk image
which is used during PXE boot process.
Specifies layout of workload and its components and their
dependencies. It is used by CODN to import a given workload
