Dasein Cloud
by Thijs Metsch 23 Jun '13

23 Jun '13

Hi, Just to inform you that there is a cool project going on called Dasein-Cloud. http://dasein-cloud.sourceforge.net/ On the website it reads: Dasein Cloud is an Open Source Java API made available by enStratus Networks LLC under the terms of the Apache License 2.0. This API specifies cloud-independent interfaces for enabling an application to access resources across multiple clouds. If you are interested have a look - and it might be great to implement OCCI in their someday! Cheers, -Thijs -- Thijs Metsch Senior Software Engineer Grid and Cloud Technology Platform Computing GmbH Europaring 60 D-40878 Ratingen http://www.platform.com http://www.nohuddleoffense.de/ - http://www.twitter.com/befreax

Preliminary JSON rendering draft, discussion material
by Ralf Nyren 19 Jan '12

19 Jan '12

Hi all, I won't be able to attend OGF in Lyon, too bad but that's how it is. Since I wouldn't want you to think I am sneaking away from all the hard work I put together a pre-pre-draft of a possible JSON rendering. I have commit'ed a json_rendering.tex file to the occi-wg repository and have attached the generated PDF. Please look at this document as a basis for further discussions. It is very far from being complete and lots of things could certainly be more elegant. Highlights are: - Filtering through query parameters. I.e. no need to use the X-OCCI-Attribute to transfer filtering info in GET requests. - Pagination of collections. - Attribute type information (e.g. float, integer, string, etc) relayed through the Category definition. I will try and join in remotely tomorrow. Best regards, Ralf

Interoperability demo for Cloud Standards Customer Council meeting in December
by Alan Sill 30 Nov '11

30 Nov '11

Hi Richard and Florian, The CSCC meeting in December at which you asked for the OCCI usage and interoperability demo is coming up. We are happy to participate and will plan to do so remotely. We should coordinate on details such as time allotted for the demos, choice of technology (a live screencast with a recorded backup supplied to you in advance is what we have planned), timing within the meeting agenda etc. Please respond to me and to Florian, and we will work to coordinate other input from the OGF groups. Thanks, Alan Alan Sill, Ph.D Senior Scientist, High Performance Computing Center Adjunct Professor of Physics, TTU Vice President of Standards, Open Grid Forum ==================================================================== : Alan Sill, Texas Tech University Office: Drane 162, MS 4-1167 : : e-mail: Alan.Sill(a)ttu.edu ph. 806-834-5940 fax 806-834-4358 : ====================================================================

OCCI Link question
by florian.feldhaus＠tu-dortmund.de 29 Nov '11

29 Nov '11

Hi, I have a question regarding inline creation of links. If I create an OCCI compute object and want to link to a network, I use the OCCI Networkinterface Link to supply additional attributes like MAC or interface name. If I want to add an IP address as well, I need to use the IPNetworkInterface Mixin. But the mixin has to be applied to the Link and not the OCCI Compute object. Thus I have a problem adding it during inline creation of the OCCI Compute object. Can anyone help me here? Adding the Mixin later on is not an option, as the Compute resource instantly gets deployed by the backend. It may be an option for the OCCI implementation to check for supplied attributes in the link and apply the corresponding Mixin automatically... Here's an example: http://pastebin.com/Krw5KQEw Cheers, Florian

OCCI Server / Client
by florian.feldhaus＠tu-dortmund.de 24 Nov '11

24 Nov '11

We are currently wrapping up our implementation to release a new version of the code. A first release candidate has been published on the project page [1]. The same codebase is used (and will continously be updated) for an OCCI testbed running with a dummy backend and can be accessed under [2]. If you like to test against our OCCI Server with OpenNebula 3.0 backend, please contact Piotr Kasprzak [3] or me for authorization information. Also we released the source code for the OCCI client which can be seen in the screencast I sent around. The code is released under BSD license and can be downloaded under [4]. More information on installation / configuration will be added in the near future. I'm also in the progress of finishing the updated screencast and a blogpost on the current state of our implementation. You might be interested, that the EGI Federated Clouds Task Force has agreed to use OCCI in their scenarios - information may require an EGI account but can then be found under [5]. They will probably test those scenarios with our implementation but are very eager to get an OpenStack implementation for testing as well.
