Hi Stephen, For the In/Out ports we could use the NetworkConfigurationPort_t t6ype instead of UInt32, it would allow '80', '80,443' and '2000:25000'. Would it be OK? For the IntanceMax/Min attributes: it's useful for us to be able to know the capacity and the specificities of the infrastructure.

For Manager: MaxRAM seems a slightly strange thing to publish, is it useful? I'm also not sure what you'd do with the InstanceMax/Min attributes. Clients should be looking at the Share rather than the Manager, so these would normally be for monitoring or accounting use cases, is there a need to monitor those
Alessandro Paolini <alessandro.paolini@egi.eu> said: things?
in general we use these attributes for getting information about the
hardware features of the cloud framework, independently from the Share
But who is "we", i.e. what is the use case? If you have a real use for the attributes it's fine, I was just wondering if you'd added things without a concrete idea of what you'd do with them.
NetworkPortsIn/Out, do you really want an explicit list of every port rather than allowing a range?
yes, the applications require specific ports, and we need to take into account the network configuration in the several sites that is quite diverse
OK, but if you have a lot of ports it would be a lot of data to publish. If you changed the type to string you'd get a bit less type checking, but you'd have the flexibility to publish ranges and still be able to have single numbers.
Side question: the same names (IDFromEndpoint and LocalIDFromManager) are used in the ComputingActivity class. Do we change them as well? CEJobID and LocalJobID?
OK, I missed that. We shouldn't change things in an existing class, and it may be that it would be better to keep the same names for the cloud class - something to discuss.
Stephen
