TelCo next week
by Feldhaus, Florian 29 Oct '12

29 Oct '12

Hi, I just spoke with Thijs and we would suggest to skip the TelCo today and encourage everyone to join the TelCo next week 18:00 CET. We would like to discuss all remaining issues with the OCCI Core and OCCI JSON documents and then prepare them for submission to the OGF review process. It is very important, that everyone checks the documents again. The latest versions of the documents can be found here: http://redmine.ogf.org/projects/occi-wg/repository/revisions/core-errata/ch… http://redmine.ogf.org/projects/occi-wg/repository/revisions/json/changes/j… Cheers, Florian

December 2012 Cloud Plugfest Registration is Open - Deadline is December 3
by Mancuso, Tom 29 Oct '12

29 Oct '12

(Please forward this message to friends and colleagues who may be interested) Greeting All, Registration for the December Cloud Plugfest is now open. Please visit the Cloud Plugfest website by December 3 to register - http://www.cloudplugfest.org/next-event/registration The December 2012 event is the 7th in the series and is proudly co-organized by OGF, the SNIA Cloud Storage Initiative and ETSI. Co-hosts for the US and European locations are SNIA and ETSI, respectively. ETSI CTI is also providing testing support. What: Cloud Plugfest co-organized by OGF, SNIA Cloud Storage Initiative and ETSI When: December 10-11-12, 2012 Where: US/Raleigh, NC (hosted by IBM) and Europe/Sophia-Antipolis, FR (hosted by ETSI) Who's invited? All cloud implementers are invited to participate either in person or remotely. Participants need not be members of the SNIA, CSI or OGF and the cost to register is FREE! Attendees are responsible for all other costs (travel, meals, etc.) associated with participating in this event including any participation fees imposed by co-located venues or event sponsors. Why attend? The cloud plugfest will offer a highly collaborative, vendor-neutral, environment for developers and vendors to perform interoperability testing of CDMI and OCCI implementations. The previous Cloud Plugfest, held in September 2012, attracted 30+ participants from over 15 companies and organizations. By attending the cloud plugfest participants will: - Gain a greater understanding of what the needs are for establishing better interoperability with Cloud Computing and Cloud Storage standards, and the opportunity to refine those standards. - Gain a better understanding of the requirements for interoperability integration between Cloud Storage (CDMI) and Cloud Computing (OCCI) - Interact directly with cloud implementers and early adopters of CDMI and OCCI How to register? The cost to register is free. Visit the cloud plugfest registration page at http://www.cloudplugfest.org/next-event/registration. E-mail updates will be sent to registered participants as the plugfest nears. Regards, Cloud Plugfest Planning Team info(a)cloudplugfest.org<mailto:info@cloudplugfest.org> ---------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe: You are receiving this message because you are a member of the SNIA and/or have registered for a previous cloud plugfest and/or are a member of the Cloud-demo Google Group.

Fwd: [Openstack] SDKs

Opportunity to contribute SDKs that support OpenStack (and of course, OCCI and other OGF standards) detailed below. Alan Begin forwarded message: From: Everett Toews <everett.toews(a)RACKSPACE.COM<mailto:everett.toews@RACKSPACE.COM>> Subject: [Openstack] SDKs Date: October 24, 2012 1:26:19 PM CDT To: "openstack(a)lists.launchpad.net<mailto:openstack@lists.launchpad.net>" <openstack(a)lists.launchpad.net<mailto:openstack@lists.launchpad.net>> One of the things that came out of the SDK Doc Discussion [1] at the Grizzly Summit was an action item for me to create a wiki page dedicated to Software Development Kits that support OpenStack. And here it is [2]! I also summarized some of the SDK related stuff from the Summit in [3]. In part the wiki page is a survey of existing SDKs. If there's an SDK that you think belongs on the list, please add it. The goal of all of this is to raise the profile and legitimacy of SDKs that support OpenStack in the ecosystem.

Pagination
by Ralf Nyren 17 Oct '12

17 Oct '12

Hi, Pagination [1] is currently not defined in the HTTP Rendering. The hope is to remedy this in a future version combined with the work to separate the OCCI Rendering concept into "transport protocol" and "data format". Since pagination is a protocol feature rather than a data format issue it was concluded during today's confcall that future pagination support in OCCI should only affect the transport protocol (if possible). I.e. a data format, such as JSON, should not contain any pagination information. How to implement this over HTTP then? And we do not want any custom HTTP headers... Proposal ------------- A client must (if desired) request pagination by use of _query_parameters_ in the HTTP URL. To solve the issue where a server need to enforce pagination when not requested by the client Florian made an interesting proposal. Let us say an OCCI system has 1000000 Compute instances. An OCCI client asking for the full collection (no pagination in the request) must be forced to use pagination because the server cannot send back all instances of the collection. The server would then return HTTP status code 301 (redirect) with a URL containing the proper pagination parameters the server would have wished the client had used in the first place. Example ------------ < GET /compute/ HTTP/1.0 > HTTP/1.0 301 Moved Permanently > Location: > /compute/?id=urn:uuid:f3ec2e3a-0cc1-11e2-91ed-abf19593d6e2&start=0&end=100 < GET /compute/?id=urn:uuid:f3ec2e3a-0cc1-11e2-91ed-abf19593d6e2&start=0&end=100 > HTTP/1.0 200 ... By looking at the query parameters the client would see what pagination the server has enforced. regards, Ralf [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pagination

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. Purpose: Ongoing SAJACC use case definition and testing efforts meeting series. Review of use cases gathered to date and assignment of use case listing review to grop participants.

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. Please try to be prompt. Alan and Eugene
