New Whitepaper available on Cloud Storage for Cloud Computing - please forward
by Mark A. Carlson 10 Sep '09

10 Sep '09

A Message from SNIA Get the new whitepaper on Cloud Storage for Cloud Computing The Storage Networking Industry Association in conjunction with the Open Grid Forum have recently published a whitepaper on Cloud Storage for Cloud Computing. The Cloud has become a new vehicle for delivering resources such as computing and storage to customers on demand. Rather than being a new technology in itself, the cloud is a new business model wrapped around new technologies such as server virtualization that take advantage of economies of scale and multi-tenancy to reduce the cost of using information technology resources. This paper discusses the business drivers in the Cloud delivery mechanism and business model, what the requirements are in this space, and how standard interfaces, coordinated between different organizations can meet the emerging needs for interoperability and portability of data between clouds. To learn more about SNIA's Cloud Data Management Interface (CDMI) standard, and how it works with Cloud Computing standards such as the OGF Open Cloud Computing Interface (OCCI) please download the new whitepaper from one of the following locations: SNIA Site <http://www.snia.org/cloud/CloudStorageForCloudComputing.pdf> OGF Site <http://ogf.org/Resources/documents/CloudStorageForCloudComputing.pdf> snia.org <http://www.snia.org/> ogf.org <http://ogf.org/> © 2009 Storage Networking Industry Association © 2009 Open Grid Forum

Fwd: Link Relations: up/down vs parent/child vs ancestor/descendant etc.
by Sam Johnston 08 Sep '09

08 Sep '09

Evening all, FYI - there's been some discussion about OCCI dependencies on other lists but I've been avoiding cross-posting given the audiences are quite different. The latest is about wiring resources together using generic link relations as it's preferable that we avoid rolling our own standards where we can use ones that already exist. Sam ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Sam Johnston <samj(a)samj.net> Date: Tue, Sep 8, 2009 at 7:08 PM Subject: Link Relations: up/down vs parent/child vs ancestor/descendant etc. To: Atom Syntax <atom-syntax(a)imc.org>, HTTP Working Group < ietf-http-wg(a)w3.org> Evening all, I am busy designing a protocol for cloud computing[1] and want clients to be able to discover children of a given resource in order to navigate a tree structure. I had been considering defining a new "collection" link relation but then found draft-divilly-atom-hierarchy<http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-divilly-atom-hierarchy> which defines a "down" relation. My concern is that the terms "up" and "down" are ambiguous in this context and indeed we may end up defining [URI] relations for "up" and "down" as state changes for network resources. Furthermore there has been come commentary/confusion of late around the use of multiple attributes (e.g. "up up up") and now seems as good a time as ever to clarify given we have the link relation I-D and HTML 5 WD on the table at the IETF and W3C respectively. I wonder whether it would be possible to instead use "parent" and "child" (for first generation relationships) or "ancestor" and "descendant" (for more generic n-generation relationships, where n is specified as an attribute like "level=2")? This is simple and self-describing and could resolve the issue once and for all. Alternatively the terms could be abbreviated to "asc" and "desc" respectively (as in "ascend" and "descend"). I also wonder whether "collection" isn't a bad idea anyway - consider a resource describing a bookshelf where the collection consists of books. Sam 1. http://www.occi-wg.org/

Final round of comments for Use case and req. document before submission
by Thijs Metsch 08 Sep '09

08 Sep '09

Hi all, I would like to encourage you all to have a look at our first deliverable 'Requirements and Use Cases for a Cloud API'. I would ask to send you comments, ideas and thoughts by Friday. The document can be found here: http://forge.ogf.org/sf/go/doc15732 Friday is not a 'real' deadline. But I will submit it into the OGF editor pipeline on Friday. Then it will go into a public review - after that it will be released as our first informal document.

Prototype implementation of the OCCI draft specification
by Tino Vazquez 05 Sep '09

05 Sep '09

Dear OCCI members, We are happy to announce the availability of a prototype implementation of the OCCI draft specification. As the specification is not finished nor final, we tried to adjust as much as possible to the spirit distilled by the spec document found in the wiki. We believe that is important to have an implementation in order to demo the standard, which we think will provide value to OCCI, to be able to show people how the standard will look like and behave, and, even more importantly, provide feedback. Along with the server implementation, client command are implemented in order to use the service, enabling the access to the full functiolity of the interface. The code has been upload to OpenNebula's subversion trunk, and can be downloaded from [1], using the following command: $ svn co http://svn.opennebula.org/one/trunk one Documentation on how to configure the OpenNebula OCCI service [2] and a user guide [3] are also available. Also, a design document is also ready [4]. This implementation will be distributed with OpenNebula 1.4 [5] and has been developed in the context of the RESERVOIR project. OpenNebula 1.4 also includes the implementation of the EC2 Query API [6], and allows the managing of the virtual infrastructure using both interfaces simultaneously. Best regards, -Tino [1] http://redmine.opennebula.org/ [2] http://opennebula.org/doku.php?id=documentation:rel1.4:occicg [3] http://opennebula.org/doku.php?id=documentation:rel1.4:occiug [4] http://opennebula.org/doku.php?id=documentation:rel1.4:occidd [5] http://opennebula.org/doku.php?id=documentation:rel1.4 [6] http://opennebula.org/doku.php?id=documentation:rel1.4:ec2qug -- Constantino Vázquez, Grid Technology Engineer/Researcher: http://www.dsa-research.org/tinova DSA Research Group: http://dsa-research.org Globus GridWay Metascheduler: http://www.GridWay.org OpenNebula Virtual Infrastructure Engine: http://www.OpenNebula.org
