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

Hi, it would be great if we could schedule an IRC session next week to coordinate testing of our implementations to prepare for the demo at CSCC. I'll be in the OCCI IRC channel next week during CET working hours and will set up a test instance of our OCCI / CDMI servers for (username/password protected) external use.

I guess this is still using OCCI 1.0. Does anyone know of plans for supporting OCCI 1.1? What about jClouds? Are there any news?

Dear OCCI folks, Please note the following agenda item at the CSCC Quarterly Meeting, Tuesday, December 13, 2011 Santa Clara, CA USA ... 13:00 - 13:45 Live Cloud Demonstration This presentation will be a live demo of the creation and running of a cloud based on new OGF standards, as well as a discussion of the work the OGF Cloud Interoperability Working Group is doing. ... http://www.cloudstandardscustomercouncil.org/121311/agenda.htm Details: All those who wish to participate or show some material there, please coordinate with Florian. We will be doing the demos like we did at the NIST workshop, through remote presentation with a video backup. All material that you wish to present in a public setting with respect to cloud interoperability, clients and/or the OCCI and related specs in general is OK to show at this session We are working towards the official kickoff of the CI-WG via a BoF at OGF 34 in Oxford March 2012, but are already taking action towards that goal, and no problems with getting started. Florian has graciously agreed to lead the OGF cloud interoperability group during its transition, and the parameters, scope and charter of the group are under discussion for presentation at OGF 34. If you would like to get involved, now is the time; invite your friends, and let's get going. (Note: This work extends from Cloud Interoperabilty work started in the context of various server and client demos started in the OGF OCCI group, informed by interactions with various infrastructure server and client tools and projects of which we are aware, and stimulated by plug-fests and similar projects we have been involved with. If you have been participating in any of those up to now, please do pay attention to any applicable confidentiality agreements you may have agreed to abide by, and only release information that is in the public domain. The OGF- CI-WG will be charged explicitly with producing public documents and will conform to the usual OGF intellectual policy rules and procedures as outlined in GFD.152, so please be sure if you present that you understand these rules, which are designed to keep OGF open!)

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

Thanks, folks; updates made as below and corrections as indicated, and new version posted. http://www.hpcc.ttu.edu/asill/cloud-standards/DMTF-OGF-CMWG-Update.pdf I also added a new slide "Other work and publications" just before the summary. If people feel there are explicit things we should say about future possible mapping work or coordination, please let me know.

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

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, I prepared a screencast on OCCI/CDMI for the NIST meeting today. It was the first time I did a screencast, so it's not perfect. Any comments / feedback would be very welcome. You may find a version for download here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4837292/OCCI_CDMI_Screencast_large.zip Streaming: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4837292/OCCI_CDMI_Screencast_large.mp4 I will try to improve the screencast and then create the promised Blog Post for the occi-wg.org website as soon as possible. Cheers, Florian
