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!

OCCI Comments for todays call
by Florian Feldhaus 28 May '13

28 May '13

Hi, I will be able to work on open OCCI topics next week, especially on separating the text rendering from the OCCI API. Anyone interested to move forward here? If so, how should we coordinate the work? Beside that, I collected some comments on the existing / upcoming documents which I'd like to post here for discussion: # HTTP Rendering Category type-identifier - there is a ambiguity in `SCHEME TERM`. As `SCHEME` is defined as being an `URI` it can match `TERM` as well, but `TERM` has a restriction on lowercase. Replace with `SCHEME '#' TERM` . Even better restrict `SCHEME` to URIs without fragment, e.g. `SCHEME AUTHORITY PATH QUERY` (here `SCHEME` means the URI scheme). PATH must be an absolute path, does it? - link-attribute should be the same as attribute-repr - for link definition, the link-type must be put into quotes - unneccessary semicolon at the end of link example - term should be allowed to contain the same characters as the URI fragment to avoid mapping conflicts (e.g. in OpenStack templates can have the same name but different IDs - thus the numeric ID should be used as term, but is currently forbidden. The unrestricted characters of the URI are (per RFC 3986) `ALPHA / DIGIT / "-" / "." / "_" / "~"` and it would be good to use `ALPHA / DIGIT / "-" / "_" / "~"` for term, as the `.` in schemes contains special meaning in OCCI (domain separator). # OCCI Core - where will the definition of OCCI components go. If we have multiple renderings, the definition of e.g. TERM should be the same for all - for mixins, applies should not be automatically inherited from dependent mixins (e.g. a `small` resource template should have `applies` set to the compute kind even though the resource template mixin may have `applies` set to all infrastructure resources # OCCI Infrastructure - in section 3.2.1 add Network kind as related / applies - in section 3.4.1 add the same actions as for Network - clarify templates. If OS templates are only applicable to Compute kinds, they should have the scheme `http://schemas.ogf.org/occi/infrastructurecompute#os_tpl` and related / applies should point to compute - for resource templates, the related / applies should point to all Infrastructure resources (e.g. storage, network, compute, networkinterface, storagelink) # OCCI API Wishlist for the OCCI API document - move all information common to the different renderings into this document or into OCCI Core (e.g. ABNFs) - use query parameters for attribute=value when triggering an action - pagination - as similar to existing REST APIs as possible (e.g. OpenStack, EC2, CIMI) without too many backwards incompatibility with the current HTTP Rendering document Cheers, Florian

Really quick OpenNebula Cloud APIs survey
by Daniel Molina 27 May '13

27 May '13

Hi all, We, the OpenNebula team, have created a very quick survey (only two questions) to collect information about which cloud API is most widely used, and which cloud API you would like us to enhance or implement (OGF OCCI, AWS, Google Compute, DMTF CIMI, VMware vCloud or OpenStack). It will only take you 10 seconds to complete, your feedback will help us improve the support for the most demanded cloud APIs. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1QKiYvMjPygaq15i9-OzR9FLOmsCnAKo3xrYVYq5qUJ… Thank you! -- Join us at OpenNebulaConf2013 <http://opennebulaconf.com/> in Berlin, 24-26 September, 2013 -- Daniel Molina Project Engineer OpenNebula - The Open Source Solution for Data Center Virtualization www.OpenNebula.org | dmolina(a)opennebula.org | @OpenNebula

Fwd: [DistComp] CFP: The first international workshop FedICI'2013, Federative and interoperable cloud infrastructures
by Sill, Alan 19 May '13

19 May '13

FYI, as mentioned previously. Also see the workshops link on the ACM Cloud and Autonomic Computing conference page: http://autonomic-conference.org Yours, Alan Begin forwarded message: From: Gabor Kecskemeti <gkecskem(a)dps.uibk.ac.at<mailto:gkecskem@dps.uibk.ac.at>> Date: May 17, 2013, 5:36:34 AM CDT To: <distributed-computing-announce(a)datasys.cs.iit.edu<mailto:distributed-computing-announce@datasys.cs.iit.edu>> Subject: [DistComp] CFP: The first international workshop FedICI'2013, Federative and interoperable cloud infrastructures The first international workshop FedICI'2013 Federative and interoperable cloud infrastructures August 26 2013, Aachen, Germany organized in conjunction with Euro-Par 2013 Call for papers Workshop theme: Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) cloud systems allow the dynamic creation, destruction and management of Virtual Machines (VM) on virtualized clusters. IaaS clouds provide a high-level of abstraction to the end user that allows the creation of on-demand services through a pay as you go infrastructure combined with elasticity. As a result, many academic infrastructure service providers have started transitions to add cloud resources to their previously existing campus and shared grid deployments. To complete such solutions, they should also support the unification of multiple cloud and/or cloud and grid solutions in a seamless, preferably interoperable way. Hybrid, community or multi-clouds may utilize more than one cloud system, which are also called as a cloud federations. The management of such federations raise several challenges and open issues that require significant research work to be done in this area. This workshop will provide a dedicated forum for sharing the latest results, exchanging ideas and experiences, presenting new research, development and management of interoperable, federated IaaS cloud systems. The aim of the workshop is to help the community with defining the current state, determining further goals and presenting architectures and service frameworks to achieve highly interoperable federated cloud infrastructures. Priority will be given to submissions that focus on presenting solutions to interoperability and efficient management challenges faced by current and future infrastructure clouds. Selection will prioritize papers that document and present measured comparisons or practical information on realistic, real-world solutions. All submissions will be peer-reviewed and judged on correctness, originality, technical strength, significance, quality of presentation and relevance to the topics of interest. Scope: Papers may be submitted on any topic relevant to the theme of the workshop, including but not limited to: - Case studies of interoperable and federated solutions across multiple infrastructures including mixed grid and cloud systems - Application programming interfaces and standards for interoperability and federation - Federation-compatible service agreements, SLAs and quality of service systems - Virtual machine scheduling, management and deployment algorithms in federated systems (considering multi-objective solutions, scalability, energy efficiency etc.) - Accounting, identity management and security solutions that support federation-level models - Legal issues and data privacy in federated Cloud management - Performance evaluation, prediction and comparison of federated cloud systems - Storage management, focusing on interoperability and multi cloud placement - Novel IaaS architectures incorporating federative constructs in their foundations - Virtual appliance marketplaces and repositories meeting the demands and serving multi-cloud systems Authors are required to submit original, unpublished research or overviews on Federative and interoperable cloud infrastructures. Manuscripts should be limited to 10 pages in Springer LNCS format and submitted through the EasyChair submission system (https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=fedici2013) Accepted papers that are presented at the workshop will be published in revised form in a special Euro-Par Workshop Volume in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series after the Euro-Par conference. Important dates: Deadline for paper submission: May 31, 2013 Author notification: July 8, 2013 Camera ready paper due: July 28, 2013 Workshop: August 26, 2013 The program committee: Chair: Gabor Kecskemeti Co-chairs: Radu Prodan, Attila Kertesz, Attila Csaba Marosi Members: Jameela Al-Jaroodi, Eddy Caron, Salvatore Distefano, Gilles Fedak, Francesc Guim, Eduardo Huedo Cuesta, Daniele Lezzi, Nader Mohamed, Zsolt Nemeth, Ariel Oleksiak, Anne-Cecile Orgerie, Simon Ostermann, Dana Petcu, Ivan Rodero, Matthias Schmidt, Alan Sill, Gergely Sipos, Domenico Talia, Massimo Villari.
