Documents for OCCI rev 1.2
by Metsch, Thijs 13 Apr '15

13 Apr '15

Dear all, Thanks to the help of many people we are close to putting the documents defining the revision 1.2 of OCCI into public comment! To do so I want to ask all of you to review the documents as is and raise any possible show stoppers before putting these in public comment. We propose that the following documents will be put into public comment asap: As Recommendations: * OCCI Core rev 1.2 which will obsolete GFD-R 183. A Errata has been attached to the end of the document * OCCI Infrastructure rev 1.2 which will obsolete GFD-R 184. A Errata has been attached to the end of the document * OCCI Protocol which is a newly written document describing how OCCI entities are dealt with using HTTP. This will obsolete GFD-R 185. * OCCI Text rendering which is a newly written document describing how OCCI entities are rendered using a text format. This will obsolete GFD-R 185. * OCCI Json rendering which is a newly written document describing how OCCI entities are rendered using a JSON format. * OCCI Platform extension describing how a PaaS boundary interface can be modeled. * OCCI SLA extension describing how a SLAs can be managed As Informational documents: * EGI FedCloud Profile * Monitoring for OCCI We will soon decide about the following documents: * Notifications for OCCI * OCCI-DRMAA binding (together with DRMAA-wg) A PDF version of the documents is attached - The source can be found in our git repository on the master branch. Again many thanks for all contributions and help offered!

Hi, We have a discussion scheduled for 4:00 - 5:30 pm today East Coast US time (inconvenient time for you, I know). I can try to bring you in over Skype to explain OCCI if you are available. Also we have a Cloud Plugfest tomorrow at which we will be explaining how to use the new US CloudLab and Chameleon facilities for standards testing. Anyone who has a virtual machine or recipe for preparing a standards-based add-on to any cloud software, please send the recipe to us so we can include it in the presentation to use at the Cloud Plugfest. Remote participation and provision of test servers for use at the Cloud Plugfest is very much needed and would be welcome! E-mail me separately or send to the group, and let me know your availability to participate. Thanks, Alan http://groups.geni.net/geni/wiki/GEC22Agenda P.S.: We have a good turnout here and do expect several more people to come tomorrow specifically for the Cloud Plugfest.

Participation requested in Cloud Plugfest 16
by Sill, Alan 18 Mar '15

18 Mar '15

Dear OCCI and NSI work group members, Your participation is requested at the virtual Cloud Plugfest all next week and in-person sessions to take place Friday March 27 at the location of the GEC 22 / US Ignite / OGF 43 and GLIF meetings, the latter being the Hilton Crystal City in Arlington, Virginia. All OGF working and community groups are welcome, and I will send a separate message more widely to OGF and other SDO working groups, but there will be special interest in current implementations of OCCI and NSI at this session, and I would like therefore to ask you to participate specially. Information on the Cloud Plugfest series, which OGF supports as one of the co-sponsors, is available on the website at http://cloudplugfest.org Participation is free of course remotely, and free in person for all GEC 22/OGF 43 registered participants. We will be providing in-person access on Friday for the Cloud Plugfest sessions only, which take place after the conclusion of the GEC, at no cost through a special arrangement with a Cloud Plugfest sponsor. Registration is requested, even if you are only participating remotely. This will help us to identify the servers and client implementations that will be available for testing. For those of you who have participated in our plugfests before, this will be familiar territory. If you are a new participant in these events, please send me a message or write to the provided contact address of info(a)cloudplugfest.org if you have any questions. These events depend on you participating to make your servers and client implementations available for testing by the community. They are a good vehicle to exchange information among developers, and we have a list of past participants also that makes a good resource for further contacts. Please register at http://cloudplugfest.org and bring your talent and expertise to this event. One special note is that we will be demonstrating the use of the US Chameleon and CloudLab testbed-as-a-service environments at this event, fresh from demonstrations to take place earlier that week at the conference. If you would like to sign up for an account on either or both of these services ahead of time, please do so at http://chameleoncloud.org and look for and join the "FG-176 Cloud Interoperability Testbed" project, and/or at http://cloudlab.us and look for and join the "cacnetworking" project. These are requested by my center and approved for use in interoperability tests. Each supports at minimum an OpenStack environment now, and other cloud software environments can be added as needed (see the user guides for more details). Thanks very much and I hope to see you in person or virtually soon next week!

Hi, Hmm. mostly OK but I think we have to look ahead. HTTP/2 will certainly be through the publication pipeline by the time that OCCI 1.2 makes it to publications tatus for review. Some up to date references: https://http2.github.io http://www.ietf.org/blog/2015/02/http2-approved/ http://www.rfc-editor.org/queue2.html#draft-ietf-httpbis-http2 You may also want to look through the FAQ items: https://http2.github.io/faq/ I think that all that is necessary right now is to take note (as has been stated before by members of this group) that HTTP/2 does not affect the design or basic use of the OCCI specs, and initiate a study to explore the practical use of HTTP/2 with OCCI (1.1. or 1.2). For the latter, please join the “Cloud Interoperability testbed” project on Chameleon (http://chameleoncloud.org) (project FG-176) and/or the “cacnetworking” project on CloudLab (http://cloudlab.us) if your project has something to do with networking or would be a better fit there. These projects are new, managed by me, and approved specifically to do testing in multiple cloud software environments for interoperability and standards-based software. I would like to encourage the entire OCCI working group, and any other group member of standards efforts in other organizations to join. Accounts are free, the projects are new, and the door is open to participation from this group. Alan On Mar 17, 2015, at 11:53 AM, Michel Drescher <michel.drescher(a)egi.eu<mailto:michel.drescher@egi.eu>> wrote: Hi Boris, all, There are two major reasons for being specific about HTTP/1.1 as follows: 1) HTTP/2 is in the making, that is true - but there is no referenceable RFC out there. 2) OCCI Restful makes itself a specific reference to HTTP/1.1 (c.f. GFD.185 reference no. 5) and its serialisation mechanisms. Regarding the compatibility with HTTP/2, or whether HTTP/2 implementations would be considered eligible to claim conformance. Both OCCI Restful as well as the profile make references to the HTTP header rendering mechanism defined in HTTP 1.1. But neither imposes any conformance requirement that the HTTP/1.1 protocol itself must be used. Furthermore, the only situation in which this discussion applies is where both client and server support HTTP/2 - in all other situations, any attempt to initiate a protocol upgrade to HTTP/2 will fail and communications remain at HTTP/1.1 level. Having said that, HTTP/2 does impose any restrictions or changes on HTTP header rendering, HTTP messages etc. Hence conformity with both OCCI Rendering and the profile are considered as achieved from my point of view. Cheers, Michel P.S.: A corollary implication from this is IMHO that there is no need to upgrade any existing specification, even in the event of HTTP/2 obsoleting HTTP/1.1 (which it states as not being the goal).

I think that there are many advantages to using HTTP/2 for header compression, possibility to use multiplexed single-connection communications, binary representation, server push responses, etc. It’s backwards compatible so I think we need to allow for more generality. Good point. There is no specific reason to use HTTP/1.1, aside from it being referenced in OCCI 1.1 HTTP Rendering spec [1]. If using HTTP/2 doesn't break anything with regard to OCCI 1.1, we can use it. Otherwise it will have to be included in an updated version of the profile for OCCI 1.2. In any case, it would be an encouragement, not a requirement (for practical reasons). Michel, is this correct?

We hope that all of you will be able to join us at the workshop. Otherwise let us know. Our host, TMF, would like to have an estimate of the number of participants in order to support us with arrangements like they did last year. Representatives of the various groups, please feel free to make arrangements to have someone represent your group during the workshop, so as to summarize your group activities to other groups and/or give a summary of topics that could be better harmonized or coordinated by joint SDOs/Fora efforts (aspects to be added to the joint SDOs/Fora White Paper). This year we are adding the topics of PoCs for Use Cases that combine AMC (Autonomics), SDN and NFV. On the other hand a number of companies are working on Real-Time and Predictive Analytics aspects that pertain to management and control with feedback control-loops, Dynamic Network Policing and Services (Re-)Programming, Analytics-Driven Orchestration, etc. All these aspects are part of AMC(Autonomics), and so (as indicated in the agenda) we are inviting companies working on such topics that are connected to autonomics to attend the workshop and learn how they can contribute to the efforts in groups that are addressing AMC, namely: ETSI NTECH AFI, TMF ZOOM, IEEE NGSON, ITU-T SG13, etc. Therefore feel free to send the Draft Agenda to companies working on analytics-driven management & control software. Feel free to link interested folks from this topic with us so that we keep estimating the number of participants who will be coming. I mentioned earlier about an article by Joel Halpern on Standards Collision Around SDN, and so we have added this topic as well for brief discussions. Ken, I will update you with estimated number of participants, and we will will hear from you on how to go about the registrations. Thanks!

We are glad to be hosted by TMF and we appreciate and thank TMF for agreeing to host the workshop again this year during the TMF Week in June in Nice, France, on the 4th of June. Our plan is to go for a one day workshop like we did last year. We are now inviting various SDOs/Fora to be represented at the workshop. I have also included NIST and OGF who had indicated interest to join other SDOs/Fora in such joint SDOs/Fora discussions. Draft Agenda Items (more elaborate agenda will follow): 1. Present and discuss the status of the joint SDOs/Fora White Paper (first draft was presented at IEEE Globecom), which is aimed at capturing the issues requiring cross SDO/Fora or Joint-SDO harmonization efforts by two or more groups in some coordinated fashion (e.g. bilaterally, etc), including taxonomy harmonization on architectural models, etc. 2. To give each SDO/Fora the opportunity to provide summary update others on roadmaps and ideas they think better synergies or harmonization efforts with other groups could be pursued. These ideas for potential harmonization or synergies will also be added to the white paper. 3. Planning for Globecom 2015, to present updates of the joint SDOs/White Paper during Globecom 2015 in San Diego, California, and the concrete actions and items the SDOs/Fora will be taking (drawing from the white paper) on harmonization of standards. Publications and subsequent publications of the White Paper in the future. Regarding SDN, I would like to draw your attention to the paper by Joel Halpern on "Standards Collisions Around SDN", published in the IEEE Magazine on Communications Standards. We are also inviting such people to join the discussions at the workshop in June, so that we update the joint SDOs/Fora White Paper accordingly. I attach the Report from the workshop we had last year.

I am sending you the updates from IEEE Globecom 2014 (Austin, Texas), where we presented the joint SDOs/Fora White Paper on Industry Harmonization for Unified Standards on SDN, NFV, Autonomic Management & Control (AMC), 5G, ... Thanks to all panelists, the presentations and discussions at Globecom were very well received. Very good discussions and conclusions on how to keep progressing the Initiative on Industry Harmonization for Unified Standards on SDN, NFV and AMC. Here are the main points we agreed at Globecom 2014 on how to progress things. In a nutshell: 1. We agreed to try to use a Special IEEE Communication Magazine on Standardization (called Communications Standards Supplement) for publishing the joint SDOs/Fora White Paper, to reach a large community. That means as the joint SDOs/Fora White Paper will be maintained as a living document (we will keep updating it), we would want to try to keep publishing all subsequent versions of the White Paper using the IEEE Communications Magazine of Standards. With support of John, Steven, Mehmet, and Tayeb, where necessary, I will check with IEEE on the possibility to make use of this Communications Magazine for publishing and updating the joint SDOs/Fora White Paper. 2. We will arrange for the next joint SDOs/Fora Workshop as follow-up to Globecom 2014 and as follow-up to the joint SDO/Fora Workshop we had in Nice last year, which was hosted by TMF in June 2014. We will check with the SDOs/Fora to see where and when we can co-locate the Workshop with a meeting of one of the SDOs. We could go for the same arrangement like last year, i.e. to request TMF to host the workshop. We start checking things now. In the meantime we will also keep collecting input to the White Paper and continue editing it with John and Tayeb.

Manish Patil (Dell) is chair of the OMG SDN WG, and the subject of Open-Source and open Standards is being discussed in his WG. Manish will be at Globecom (will join panel) and so we will discuss with him after the Panel session to ask OMG SDN WG to provide input on this subject as well into the corresponding section in the white paper.

Hi all, There has been significant work in preparation to OCCI 1.2. Some of you may have noticed this on the repository [1], if not you can easily see the updates with a "git log" command. To date there has been mostly structural changes with additional contributions that will maintain backward compatibility. The plan is to release the documents for public comment by Wednesday the 18th of March and so it would be great if folk had time to review all or parts of the specification set. Thanks!
