I may have missed this, but has anyone attempted to describe the Cloud instances using GLUE 2.0 and the built-in extension points?
To some extent; have a look at this, which is a commercial cloud provider which has recently joined EGI: ldapsearch -x -h site-bdii.100percentit.com -p 2170 -b GLUE2GroupID=cloud,o=glue That information isn't yet integrated into the top BDII, but the plan is to have that fairly soon.
It would be useful for us because we designed extension points to support exactly this use-case. If it turns out that Cloud services cannot be described in GLUE 2.0 then our extension system is broken and should be updated with GLUE 2.1
The extensions are designed to let you add new attributes to existing objects, they were never intended to let you build a whole new set of objects. Stephen -- Scanned by iCritical.
