Fwd: NIST SAJACC working group meeting Tuesday, Oct. 16 2012, 1:00-2:00 pm EDT
by Sill, Alan 15 Oct '12

15 Oct '12

For this who have not yet been involved in the work of the NIST SAJACC working group to define and refine definitions of use cases for cloud computing operations suitable for resting, this would be a good time to pay attention. This is a direct effort to define use case scenarios that are relevant to current software and standards, even those under development, and to invite community input into this process. For those who have been involved up to now, thank you, and this is the time to encourage your colleagues to join tomorrow's meeting and help us make progress against the task of breaking down recently gathered use case documents into testable pieces, a la the previous successful round of NIST SAJACC efforts, and to define and refine scenarios from these that are amenable to testing and demonstration of applicability of available standards, software and implementations. The previous round was very successful in this regard. Source code and documentation of earlier tests are available on the NIST SAJACC page: http://collaborate.nist.gov/twiki-cloud-computing/bin/view/CloudComputing/S… You can join the working group lists for this or any of the NIST working groups on the NIST CC sign-up page: http://www.nist.gov/itl/cloud/workinggroups.cfm We will most likely NOT post further announcements except on the CC_SAJACC list, so please be sure to sign up if you want more information. We are only posting this notice and reminder as a one-time invitation and announcement. (Apologies for the extra traffic if you have already received this notice; we wanted to get the word out about this phase, and believe this work is directly related to the output of your working groups.) Begin forwarded message: From: "Sill, Alan" <alan.sill(a)ttu.edu> Subject: NIST SAJACC working group meeting Tuesday, Oct. 16 2012, 1:00-2:00 pm EDT Date: October 15, 2012 12:27:15 PM CDT To: "<cc_sajacc(a)nist.gov>" <cc_sajacc(a)nist.gov> Cc: "Sill, Alan" <alan.sill(a)ttu.edu>, Eugene Luster <eugene.luster(a)r2ad.com> This is a reminder of the NIST Cloud Computing "SAJACC" use cases definition and testing meeting.

Relevant meeting materials have been posted on the meeting link: http://collaborate.nist.gov/twiki-cloud-computing/bin/view/CloudComputing/S… Please review these before the meeting. We will be making progress this meeting on assigning review to volunteers from the group and in setting deadlines for revision of the use case scenarios prior to the next step, which will be to make invitations to demonstrate software and standards applicable to the refined scenarios.

Alex, as you know, inside the OGF working group OCCI (stands for Open Cloud Computing Interface) we are trying to define the guidelines for SLA in clouds. With this aim I tried to modularize the complex issue of SLA as-a-whole into a few sub-problems. Per se the SLA topic extends from the definition of legal details to performance measurement: definitely too much for a single document that wants to give precise guidelines. So I started by extracting the resource monitoring sub-problem. Such functionality is present in many aspects of distributed computing, and exhibits a sufficiently simple (and sufficiently understood) interface with other components. In our perspective the specification of the monitoring infrastructure does not include neither the indication of relevant metrics, nor the technology used to retrieve them: we focus on the arrangement of sensors attached to resources, that may accept as "plugins" specific measurement tools, as well as measurement aggregators and publishing supports. In DMTF IS0102 there are sparse references to such a monitoring infrastructure, and its role is explicitly addressed (for instance in section 7.8). While reading your document "TR178 Enabling e2e Cloud SLA Management" the topic is covered in better detail. While defining the tightly related topic of metrics (in sect. 3.4 of version 0.3), you notice the importance of defining how metrics are used, and on the existence of a reliable infrastructure for resource monitoring that ensures comparable results. In section 4.3 you state that a *well defined service* must give the consumer some access to monitoring facilities, with an interface mediated from a TM Forum document. The interest for an agreed definition of the monitoring infrastructure is implicit in a number of *future work recommendations* in your document (sect. 6): Recommendation 4 asks the inclusion of the description of the *container of service metrics* as a part of the Service Template, Recommendation 6 indicates the definition of metrics as a continuous effort, and thus mandates a flexible infrastructure for their management. This given, I consider you are probably interested in the working draft about the resource monitoring infrastructure I have recently proposed to the OGF-OCCI working group. The purpose of the document, in the spirit of OCCI, is to define an interface to the resource monitoring infrastructure. The interface follows a restful approach, and gives the way to create, configure and discover resource monitoring entities. I hope that the ideas contained in the document are helpful for your task, and I will be pleased to receive any comment about the document (that you find in attachment) from your community.

Hello Florian, Really nice to hear from you :) We are working hard on the "jOCCI" library, which is available on : http://gitorious.ow2.org/ow2-proactive/jocci - Now we can load a model with a json representation - for each model, an HTTP Server can receive requests (at the moment, HEAD and GET for discovery) Any feedback would be greatly appreciated, Cheers, Brian On Sat, Oct 6, 2012 at 9:27 PM, Feldhaus, Florian <florian.feldhaus(a)gwdg.de> wrote: > Hi everyone, > > during the Cloud Plugfest we had a discussion on the development of a OCCI Java library.

We'd be happy to help as needed. For those that do not already know, our code for our clients is on github: https://github.com/r2ad It would be good to refactor and come up with a common OCCI model. Then add some libraries for access, getting resources, updating resources, status checking of resource creation (asynchronously), parsing, etc. Feldhaus, Florian wrote: > Hi everyone, > > during the Cloud Plugfest we had a discussion on the development of a OCCI Java library.

Inline Link creation with JSON
by Ralf Nyren 02 Oct '12

02 Oct '12

Hi, The question was raised during today's confcall how to create an OCCI Link bound to an OCCI Resource at creation time. Example: POST /compute/ HTTP/1.0 { "resources": [ { "kind": "http://schemas.ogf.org/occi/infrastructure#compute", "attributes": { "occi": { "compute": { "speed": 2.33 } } } } ], "links": [ { "kind": "http://schemas.ogf.org/occi/infrastructure#networkinterface", "attributes": { "occi": { "networkinterface": { "interface": "eth0", "mac": "00:80:41:af:12:fd" } } }, "target": "/network/bc8516d0-0cc3-11e2-b9e9-6f750173de61", } ] } This would create a new Compute instance with a (new) NetworkInterface Link to an existing Network instance. When a single resource instance is specified in "resources" it is assumed to be the "source" of every Link in "links". regards, Ralf PS. Florian, please feel free to correct this if I got something wrong. DS.
