Cluster kind or such
by Csom Gyula 11 May '10

11 May '10

Hi! We decided to go with the OCCI interface within our cloud implementation (and just to be specific we chose OpenNebula as our CMS platform). We hope that our selection will prove to be a long term one, thus we'd like to adhere to the OCCI specification as much as possible. Meanwhile we have to deal with clusters, too, nost just single compute entities. My main question is whether you have any plan to incorporate compute systems (like clusters) within the OCCI specification? --- In our context we'll have to deal with different types of clusters such as compute clusters (with one frontend, nas and many compute nodes) and load balancing clusters (with one load balancer, many application servers and backend storage). In many scenarios these systems must be handled as one single entity (eg. must be acquired, deployed at once, must be deleted at once, etc.). After all one might consider them as resouces, just like any others (compute, storage, and network). So the question is whether you plan to introduce compute systems or such into the specification? --- If yes, what will be the shape model? main entities and relations? For instance in our context all clusters will share the same simple structure where a system can be characterized through roles, and node counts (per roles). This might be handled by 1 additional main entity (system), and 3 pseudo entities (role, compute link and system link). See the attached UML diagram: cluster.png. Of course more complex scenarios are also possible (peer-to-peer compute relation, system of systems, etc.) but such systems are out of our current scope... --- In the spec you put the following: "A simple peer review process is available for extending the registries which should be used where possible." My last question is regarding this process: How does the above peer review work? When and where should someone go to make his request?:) Cheers, Gyula

This is a Mark Carlson+ question, so am going to reflect back to the list ! Usually I test the code on my mac and then update the svn. Mark has setup an svn client in one of the machines. Am not sure if the machines are reachable from outside. Mark/Gary, what says thee ?

Status of the documents
by Thijs Metsch 07 May '10

07 May '10

Hi, Now that we are out of the public comment phase - and the comments are in the issue tracker [1] - we are finalizing the docs. Right now the plan is to release the OCCI Core, OCCI Infrastructure and OCCI HTTP Header rendering documents as OGF recommendation documents ASAP. If you wanna help - feel free to ping any of the chairs. The XHTML5 rendering document although might need to undergo some more radical changes - Because of those changes this document needs to go through another public comment phase. Right now the people working on the cloud-demo also refine the document so this public comment phase will probably not happen so fast.

FYI: Once SGD is working - everyone will be able to get full screen desktops over 443 in a browser. This can help reduce the number of ports required. Of course, SGD needs to be able to open an xsession to the boxes - that's being worked a little by Stephen (aka Frankie). Hopefully some success will occur soon. We'll also try to hit the services (CDMI and OCCI) from the client over the next week to provide feedback, progress, etc. Thanks. ---------------------------------------- From: Gary Mazz <garymazzaferro(a)gmail.com> Sent: Wednesday, May 05, 2010 11:14 AM To: cloud-demo(a)googlegroups.com Subject: Re: [occi-wg] Reminder Cloud Demo Call Today It seems the conference trunk "unavailable" ?
