About OCCI and OCA
by Tino Vazquez 17 Dec '09

17 Dec '09

Dear all, Alexis sent me an email querying about the OCA and OCCI relationship, and we thought you may want to know as well. OCA is the native OpenNebula API to control VMs and Virtual Networks. It stands for OpenNebula Cloud API. It is used to implement the OCCI interface, ie, OCCI calls are translated to OCA calls, that OpenNebula natively understands.

what is going on...behind the scenes
by Thijs Metsch 15 Dec '09

15 Dec '09

Hi @all, Just to update you all on the issues on what is going on. On dec. 7 I submitted the documents to the OGF editor pipeline. Currently our documents (which are going to be in the recommendations track) are in a 15 day comment period for the OGF board. When it passes through successfully the document will go to public comment for 2 months. I will share the link as soon as it is available...This means as soon as the documents are in public comment we'll ask everybody who is interested to give feedback. So please share (twitter, mail, etc) that link to the public comments web page broadly. So what is next? Whatever you like would be the answer. Right now spreading the word about OCCI is good. Also feel free to think about extensions which OCCI might need (Advanced Reservation, Billing, Snapshotting support etc). Another topic might be to start thinking about how we could tackle PaaS or similar. We (the chairs) have not yet worked out a complete roadmap but it might include PaaS and IaaS (extensions, next version etc). So feel free so share your thoughts on this mailing-list or contact one of the chairs privately. So far I'm pretty happy with the things we achieved so far. So thanks to you all and happy holidays!, -Thijs -- Thijs Metsch Tel: +49 (0)941 3075-122 (x60122) http://blogs.sun.com/intheclouds http://www.twitter.com/befreax Software Engineer Cloud, Grid and Virtualization Sun Microsystems GmbH Dr.-Leo-Ritter-Str. 7 mailto:thijs.metsch@sun.com D-93049 Regensburg http://www.sun.com

XSD rendering of OCCI model(s)

Dear All, I would like to have an XSD rendering of the OCCI model(s), to embed in WS-Agreement [1]. I have found some previous work in [2], but I am not sure if this is synchronized with the latest spec draft(s) [3]. Could someone please confirm? Thank you in advance, Costas [1] http://www.ogf.org/documents/GFD.107.pdf [2] http://forge.ogf.org/sf/wiki/do/viewAttachment/projects.occi-wg/wiki/NounsV… [3] http://www.ogf.org/pipermail/occi-wg/2009-November/001517.html

OCCI presentation at IGT2009 slides
by shlomo.swidler＠gmail.com 09 Dec '09

09 Dec '09

Hi everyone, Last week I presented OCCI at the IGT2009 conference and participated in a short panel discussion about cloud standards, moderated by Reuven Cohen and including a representative of the Zend Simple Cloud API. Here are the slides: http://www.slideshare.net/shl0m0/igt2009-the-open-cloud-computing-interface The panel discussion touched on these three questions: 1) What is the driver for cloud standards - do businesses really want them? I said that the main driver for standardization is coming from the Government. Now that they need to buy cloud, and to define it before they can buy it, standards will be needed in order to fulfill Government purchasing requirements. 2) Why not just use the existing de-facto standards such as the EC2 API, as opposed to creating de-jure standards? I said that we need to focus on the vision: the vision is "open cloud" and a healthy ecosystem. The current de-facto standard is not compatible with that vision, since it is IP encumbered. Instead we need to push for an open standard. 3) Why don't you two guys (OCCI and Simple Cloud API) work together? I smiled, reached over, and shook the Simple Cloud API rep's hand. Shlomo

FYI: OCCI use case and req. document
by Thijs Metsch 09 Dec '09

09 Dec '09

Hi @all. The use case and requirements document we push into the OGF editor pipeline has popped out of the public comment phase. So fare we got 2 comments (next to some small editorial stuff): http://www.ggf.org/gf/docs/comment.php?id=309 So I'll update the doc and after addressing the comments and changing some stuff we'll probably have our first informational document out soon.
