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

Validating the Cloud on, well, the Cloud
by alexander.papaspyrou＠tu-dortmund.de 14 Oct '11

Folks, in a moment of boredom, I rewrote Thijs' OCCI testing tool to run in Google App Engine (GAE). Please take a look at http://doyouspeakocci.appspot.com for the application (and, of course, try your service) and see https://github.com/lxndrp/doyouspeakocci/ for the source code of the application. The code is largely undocumented, but not very difficult to understand, if you are (like me) a fairly bad Python programmer and ever heard of Django Templates. If you find anything that you wish to improve, feel free to do so. A few rules of thumb for this: 1. Although the code is released under LGPL2, I consider it "AdviseWare": when making an improvement, let me know where I was too stupid to get it right in the first place. 2. Remember that GAE has certain restrictions in what can be done and how you can do it. See http://code.google.com/intl/de-DE/appengine/docs/ for details. 3. Before making a change, create a ticket in the GitHub tracker. 4. During making a change, remember to add some documentation (for new classes and defs) or at least comments (close to your change). 5. After making a change, enjoy the fuzzy feeling of having contributed to the community. Even if you are not a Python developer, you can help out: the pages served by the application look, ahem, bad. So if you happen to be an HTML/CSS expert, your help is more than appreciated. Ultimately, the testing tool should look similar to the web pages at http://occi-wg.org (ask Andy whether you can feel free to steal stuff from there for the GAE app!). Hoping you will enjoy the tool, my mind demands some rest now and advises me to be off for a few beers. Best, Alexander

OCCI Monitoring extension
by Jrad, Foued 20 Jun '11

20 Jun '11

Hi, I am a PHD student at the Karlsruhe institute of technology in Karlsruhe (Germany) . The focus of my research is service brokering in inter-cloud infrastructures. One of the requirements for the broker functionality is the use of a standard interface (pub/sub model) to consume monitoring data provided by different infrastructure providers. I plan to use OCCI for this purpose. When it is approximately expected to integrate monitoring extensions to the OCCI specifications? I heard that SLA@SOI is already working on a such extension! How can I contribute ? My regards, ------------------------------------------------------- Karlsruher Institut für Technologie (KIT) Steinbuch Centre for Computing Foued Jrad Abteilung Verteilte Systeme und Grid Hermann-von-Helmholtz-Platz 1 D-76344 Eggenstein-Leopoldshafen Tel.: +49 (0)721 608 2 3240 Fax: +49 (0)721 608 2 4972 foued.jrad(a)kit.edu www.kit.edu KIT - Universität des Landes Baden-Württemberg und nationales Forschungszentrum in der Helmholtz-Gemeinschaft

SNIA Cloud Plugfest
by florian.feldhaus＠tu-dortmund.de 19 Jun '11

Hi, I just saw that the next Cloud Plugfest has been announced on the SNIA webpage to take place July 12-14, 2011: http://www.snia.org/cloud/cloudplugfest/ I will have the chance to attend in person and two of my colleagues will probably attend remotely. Does anyone else plan to attend? From my past experience I can say that (at least) attending remotely is working well and very helpful for getting feedback. Cheers, Florian

Slides from DMTF APTS and WebEx recordings from IST JTC1 SC38 Open Meeting May 18
by Alan Sill 31 May '11

31 May '11

Dear all, FYI, see links at page that Mark Carlson provides below. The SC38 Open Meeting took place during the week of the DMTF Alliance Partners Technical Symposium at Boulder. Other slides and links from that week's meetings are available at: http://dmtf.org/news/events/2011apts/2011_schedule I'll leave it to the OCCI-WG leaders to summarize their sessions there, but I believe we made good progress building working relationships with DMTF and SNIA, and should now think about how to provide reference implementations that others can adopt to show off the ease of use, power and utility of OCCI. We can do this either through partnerships with our existing developer community and partners, or through specific example and tutorial pages, but I believe we should now do more than usual for OGF to encourage adoption. These are just my opinions. I can also report that in my view, the relationships we have with other organizations in general may require more maintenance and active care than we have been putting into them recently, and these are examples of areas in which we can profitably benefit from better formal relations between the organizations. The ISO SC38 organizers did encourage us in further conversations to become a PAS submitter in order to work more closely with them, based on their interest in OCCI and other related OGF work. I think we should talk about this in the Board. Thanks to Thijs and Andy for their great organization, and to other OGF OCCI-WG members who attended and contributed, including Michael, Eugene, Gary and others. At times we had nearly 30 people in the room and had to bring in extra tables and chairs during conversations with the other groups, including SNIA and DMTF. That shows a lot of interest. It's up to us now to build on the steps that have been done to date and take this set of standards further. It would be great to see this set achieve wider adoption.
