Update on work register to be given at DMTF CMWG meeting tomorrow
by Alan Sill 06 Oct '11

06 Oct '11

OCCI-WG folks, I am at the DMTF cloud management working group in-person meeting this week, attending on behalf of TTU. As part of this meeting I will give an update on the interoperability and work register items between OGF and DMTF tomorrow morning. At this point we are largely waiting for DMTF to complete work on their CIMI specification, especially on its core model and the associated representations (which we would call renderings), so we can see how these map to OCCI and other OGF standards if applicable. As you know, DMTF has published its work on CIMI and its related components as work-in-progress documents, information on which and downloadable copies of which are available at the corresponding public site: http://dmtf.org/standards/cloud There are also related efforts on cloud audit data and license management going on; see their press releases on these topics: http://dmtf.org/news/pressreleases At this point I plan to give the same talk, slightly updated to reflect new implementation information and OGF related work group plans, as you helped me to assemble for last month's SIENA meeting. That talk is still available at the previous URL: http://www.hpcc.ttu.edu/asill/cloud-standards/OGF33-SIENA-Cloud-Update.pdf Those of you involved with DMTF can feel free to send me information that can be related to the group; others can feel free to comment on the talk at the link above. (Any DMTF-specific information will not change the content of the talk as posted and will not change OGF standards processes or documents, but may help with MoU-level discussions.) Thanks Alan

Re: [occi-wg] Where is the scheme ?
by Ralf Nyren 06 Oct '11

Afaik no formal scheme has been defined yet. The upcoming json rendering provides more info in the query interface and could be a (although not optimal) candidate. When Andre set this up we decided on just returning an empty page as a sort of boolean indicator that the category is defined in the spec.

OCCI Test Procedures
by Jamie Marshall 05 Oct '11

05 Oct '11

Dear All, I met with Florian Feldhaus yesterday at the Open World Forum and we discussed the existance of an OCCI implementation test suite. Is there any one that could point me in the right direction to find this so that I may validate an important piece of work that has been done using OCCI at its heart. Yours Sincerely Iain James Marshall CompatibleOne Accords Lead Expertise Manager Prologue

OCCI compliance tests updated
by Thijs Metsch 05 Oct '11

05 Oct '11

Just a quick note that the tests at gridforge [1] have been updated. Please note that it is not a replacement for your [unit/integration/system/...]tests of your OCCI implementation. Also note that this test suite also is not a proof for your OCCI implementation that it is 100% specification compliant. The tests generally follows the HTTP rendering specification. Ralf's and my implementation currently pass all tests. This does not mean that the tests are perfect - Ideas for improvements (we all love code) are welcome. Cheers, -Thijs [1] http://forge.ogf.org/sf/scm/do/viewRepository/projects.occi-wg/scm.occi_ wg

Proposal: SLA Agreement, Negotiation, Execution
by Thijs Metsch 04 Oct '11

04 Oct '11

Hi, The attached document contains a proposal for monitoring and SLA handling with OCCI. Although described in one document they can be seen as separate features. This document still has some rough edges - and probably requires some other features/renderings like JSON to be implemented - but feel free to reply with you feedback. Or if you like directly edit the document here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1nWqOHuwpDnMVDYzDx2VxZ2ym79aU1W4laqj6 -_FuYxs/edit?authkey=CI-lg6gJ&hl=en_US&authkey=CI-lg6gJ Please note that this message has been posted to graap-wg(a)ogf.org and occi-wg(a)ogf.org - please considered this when pushing the reply button (cross-posting warning). Looking forward to your feedback, -the authors

OCCI over Hyper-V based clouds
by Daniel Molina 27 Sep '11

27 Sep '11

Hi all, I would like to let you know the announcement regarding the collaboration between OpenNebula and Microsoft. Thanks to this collaboration Hyper-V will be included in the list of OpenNebula supported hypervisors. Therefore we will be able to easily use OCCI over Hyper-V based clouds. For more information: http://t.co/DXBZHYpn http://blog.opennebula.org/?p=1991 Cheers. -- Daniel Molina, Cloud Technology Engineer/Researcher Major Contributor OpenNebula - The Open Source Toolkit for Cloud Computing www.OpenNebula.org | dmolina(a)opennebula.org

Jamie, please note that this is a very early version. The protocol details will most likely change before it is all done. Just so you know.
