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!

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

Cloud Standards Integration - Request for comments
by Thijs Metsch 24 Jun '11

24 Jun '11

Dear all, The DMTF APTS meeting in Boulder, CO last month has been a great a success [1]. And as one of the outcomes some of the OCCI-wg members wrote a document which describe how today's Cloud standards (CDMI, OVF and OCCI) can be used together to create a open Cloud. This document is now finally ready (Sorry for the delay) and by this email I would ask for your comments and thoughts on this documents. Many thanks, -Thijs [1] http://occi-wg.org/2011/05/25/occi-at-dmtf-apts/

Re: [occi-wg] [ogf-board] Fwd: Cloud Standards Integration - Request for comments

Andy, Thijs, et al., It's very nice to see a paper that directly addresses the integration of OCCI, OVF, and CDMI. Some of these questions might be for my own education, as much as anything else. The Scenario example is a simple MapReduce service consisting of a Portal, a Hadoop Master and a Hadoop Slave -- along with two storage volumes. These are connected in a simple network topology. While an OVF package can represent a multi-VM configuration, this is not emphasized in the Service Migration and Redeployment discussion. In fact, the acronym OVA (Open Virtualization Appliance or Application) is used but not defined. Presumably OVA is intended to denote entire applications that can consist of many resources. OCCI's Resource Templates do not seem intended to capture entire "virtual application configurations" -- rather they are intended to capture individual resource configurations. (Is that correct?) Step 4 of Service Migration states that the service provider instantiates the resources and attaches the related data. Nothing is said about network topology support or necessary/expected bandwidth. Compute resources can be qualified by clock speed or RAM, storage resources can be qualified by size, but network resources have no such qualifications. What I'm getting at is the ability to migrate/instantiate large, complex applications or even "virtual data centers" out of a physical data center/cloud. Aside from issues of scale, can this be done at all? Presumably this would be facilitated by managing things like virtual switches. What would it take to do this (in OVF)? What would this have to look like to be compatible with the VLAN management work being done using OpenFlow and IF-MAP in the OCC Virtual Network Testbed? (This will be hard to answer since I don't think there's anything written up yet.) What's the uptake of OCCI/OVF/CDMI in OpenStack? --Craig Minor editorial comments: 1) CMWG needs a citation. 2) The first reference to OVF occurs in the second paragraph of the Introduction but the citation [4] isn't given until two paragraphs later. 3) OVA is used by not defined.
