17 Jan '12

(Please forward this message to friends and colleagues who may be interested) MARK YOUR CALENDAR FOR CLOUD PLUGFEST 2012 - Registration is now open! The Storage Networking Industry Association's Cloud Storage Initiative (SNIA CSI) and the Open Grid Forum (OGF) are conducting the first in a series of international cloud plugfests slated for 2012. What: Cloud Plugfest sponsored by SNIA CSI/OGF When: February 28 through March 01, 2012 Where: Dusseldorf, DE (Primary Location) 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 attend is FREE!* 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 2011 in Santa Clara, California and remotely in Dusseldorf, Germany, attracted over 20 developers from nine companies. 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 page at http://www.snia.org/cloud/cloudplugfest for additional details or go directly to the registration page http://snia.org/cloud/cloudplugfest/agreement. E-mail updates will be sent to registered participants as the plugfest nears. Those interested in volunteering to help plan cloud plugfests or becoming a member of the SNIA Cloud Storage Initiative (http://www.snia.org/forums/csi) should contact Tom Mancuso, csimanager(a)snia.org. * Plugfest registration 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.

12 Jan '12

Dear all, Let me start with wishing you all a happy new year! 2012 will hopefully be a great year for the OCCI working group - to get back on track I want to announce that we will pick up our bi-weekly conference calls again. The next conference call will take place on Jan 12th 2012 - 15:00 UTC. So please mark your calendars - there is plenty to discuss with regards to the current drafts and improvements for OCCI. All the best, -Thijs

Reminder: FutureGrid testbed project for cloud interoperability tests open
by Alan Sill 11 Jan '12

11 Jan '12

Reminder for OCCI-WG members: we have requested and gotten approval for hosting a set of client/server functionalities for any cloud standards interoperability tests that are of interest on the FutureGrid project that I would like to make available to all. To join the FutureGrid project (which does NOT require that you share your code or implementations, although we encourage it), you can first get a portal account (free) at the FutureGrid Portal at http://portal.futuregrid.org Then look for the "Cloud Interoperability Testbed" project and submit a request to join it. I would appreciate an e-mail from you also when you submit the request, so I can know your affiliation and interest, but the intent is to keep access to this project open to anyone with a legitimate need to test cloud software, especially standards-based software, in conformance with the goals of this project, which are very similar to (or at least related to) those of SAJACC. This testbed was designed to promote explorations of new and emerging technologies for distributed computing, and our cloud standards testing seemed a good fit to the project goals. "Getting started" information is available at the Support --> getting started link in the portal, or directly at https://portal.futuregrid.org/gettingstarted Machine images are available for a variety of operating systems and can be customized as needed and saved for future reference. They are not intended to be left running for long periods, but can be spun up and down for testing as needed. If this proves useful, I would be interested in building a collection of images that could be used to demonstrate various use case tests and run arbitrarily by users who are members of the project. The machine image that you install can be provisioned with your choice of interface, and is not limited to the FutureGrid interfaces or to Nimbus (i.e., you can use the project to demonstrate a different framework or component as needed). Please let me know if you find this useful and/or have any questions. Thanks! Alan

Comparison of OCCI and CIMI cloud infrastructure management specifications
by Alan Sill 11 Jan '12

11 Jan '12

Hi Frederic, Thanks for the visit and coffee today, and it was nice to meet with you, Bob, Viktor and Mike out at NIST. You had expressed some interest in comparing the OCCI and CIMI cloud infrastructure management specifications. The OCCI standards are documents GFD 183, 184 and 185 in the OGF "Grid Final Document" series already published and available at http://www.ogf.org/gf/docs/?final&all The CIMI specification is also in multiple parts, and is available as a set of "work in progress" documents on the DMTF site at http://www.dmtf.org/standards/cloud (near the bottom of the page, with some drafts expiring in mid-March). I believe that the DMTF cloud management working group is moving towards a release of a "1.0" version of the CIMI spec within a few months, perhaps sooner or later depending on their assessment of completeness. OCCI is at version 1.1 of the specification. Your thoughts and feedback in both directions, and any comments or questions you may have when comparing the specifications, would be extremely welcome. The more detailed these questions and comments, the better! Please let me know if we can help in this comparison in any way.
