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!

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

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.

Nimbus project to work on OCCI interface features
by Alan Sill 14 Nov '11

14 Nov '11

I am at a tutorial at SC11 on the use of Nimbus (the Argonne project) and FutureGrid to build and use IaaS clouds. They have interfaces to AWS services and are evaluating an openStack implementation, in addition to their Nimbus-specific tools. It seems to be possible for us to create community pages and perhaps even a project within the Nimbus infrastructure for specific purp[oses. Is there any interest in the OCCI-WG community for us to request a project and community pages specific to working on an OCCI interface for Nimbus? Let me know if so. Thanks, Alan

Cloud Plugfest Poll for selection of next plugfest date
by Mancuso, Tom 07 Nov '11

07 Nov '11

All, The next Cloud Plugfest with participation from DMTF, OGF and the SNIA will be held early next year, with one location being Dusseldorf, Germany. There are several available weeks, so we are doing this poll to find out when the majority of folks would be available to participate. As usual the plugfest will have both physical and virtual (remote) participants, and runs for 3 straight days allowing for travel on Mondays and Fridays. Please mark all weeks you are available to participate. http://www.doodle.com/4ybe3vtynk5cmbci (You may append your name with a /P for Physical or a /V for virtual/Remote to help us select the best option) Best regards, - Tom Tom Mancuso Senior Program Manager, SMI Storage Networking Industry Association _______________________________________ SNIA Mobile: 719.491.2614 tom.mancuso(a)snia.org www.snia.org

OCCI highlighted in NIST Cloud Standards Roadmap talk
by Sill, Alan 03 Nov '11

It went by too quickly for me to capture photos of all the slides where this happened, but OCCI was mentioned specifically in multiple locations in the talk given today by Annie Sokol, one of the leaders of the NIST Cloud Standards Roadmap group, in her talk introducing the Cloud Standards panel at the NIST Forum this morning. Here's an example.

Hi Florian, The agenda for the NIST Cloud Forum IV has been posted now at the following link: http://www.nist.gov/itl/cloud/upload/CCWWIV_agenda.pdf Look for entries with the location "Flag Hallway" These are: DAY 1 – November 2, 2011 8:00 ‐ 9:00 am 1:15 ‐ 2:45 pm 3:20 ‐ 5:00 pm DAY 2 – November 3, 2011 8:00 ‐ 9:00 am 12:40 ‐ 2:00 pm 3:15 ‐ 5:00 pm For time zone conversion, see http://timeanddate.com I will bring along the screencast that you sent (a higher-resolution version would be nice, but this is OK), and if you can connect at any of those times by Skype, we can do some live screencasting / videoconferencing also. If anyone else would like to Skype in at one or more of those times, we can share the load. (Feel free to make this offer to others in the OCCI-WG).

This led to some problems in using their test instances - Amount of inter action between the EMEA people seemed quite low ... most attendees where from TU Dortmund Suggestions: - Provide a URL of chat and wiki a few days in advance - Test instances should be at least up and running a few days before the plugfest and run nonstop until a few days after the plugfest - There should be stable and experimental test instances to be able to separate client tests against stable servers from server tests - One organized sync up meeting per day where everyone is encouraged to report on problems and progress - It would be great if OVF could be included in the next plugfest - More organized plugfest agenda - have a tighter agenda with some points that includes everyone in the testing process 3) Logistics for future plugfest(s) - Target date - date options -- Earliest date would be January 3-5 or Feb 7-9 or Feb 28- Mar 1 -- AI: Tom will setup a doodle poll (Mark will forward to OVF & CIMI folks) --- Open a doodle poll for two weeks, then schedule next PF planning call the following Tuesday (22 November). - Potential participants: - Vision Cloud Project -- AI: David volunteered to develop a list of European target participants - Location(s) -- AI: Florian will look into other location options for Europe venue -- Agreed that Europe would be primary location (Mark & David are planning to attend) -- US location would be remote and may require Mark or David to be present --- If there is critical mass of US folks, then can look into an east coast location --- SNIA Tech Center not an option due to time zone deltas 4) Discuss cloud plugfest goals for 2012 - Could organize mini virtual plugfests leading up to main plugfests - schedule 3-4 plugfest per year spaced 3-4 mos apart. - Keep plugfests sequentially numbered, PF #1...n - helps demonstrate maturity of activity -- Plan to have plugfest T-shirts given out at some point -- AI: Setup doodle polls for each future plugfest after initial plugfest is set - Tom will look into schedules 5) Discuss options for formalizing cloud plugfests - More formalized testing procedure to run "stable" tests instances - Have stable test tools available - Interoperability testing between implementations after initial spec conformance testing - Get more data into Wiki matrix, later on we can look at a more formal method and publicizing results for marketing needs Next meeting: 22 November @ 7:00 AM Pacific Time Owner: Mr. Thomas Mancuso Group: TWG: Cloud Storage Sharing: This event is not shared to any other groups.
