Andy, Thijs, et al., It's very nice to see a paper that directly addresses the integration of OCCI, OVF, and CDMI. Some of these questions might be for my own education, as much as anything else. The Scenario example is a simple MapReduce service consisting of a Portal, a Hadoop Master and a Hadoop Slave -- along with two storage volumes. These are connected in a simple network topology. While an OVF package can represent a multi-VM configuration, this is not emphasized in the Service Migration and Redeployment discussion. In fact, the acronym OVA (Open Virtualization Appliance or Application) is used but not defined. Presumably OVA is intended to denote entire applications that can consist of many resources. OCCI's Resource Templates do not seem intended to capture entire "virtual application configurations" -- rather they are intended to capture individual resource configurations. (Is that correct?) Step 4 of Service Migration states that the service provider instantiates the resources and attaches the related data. Nothing is said about network topology support or necessary/expected bandwidth. Compute resources can be qualified by clock speed or RAM, storage resources can be qualified by size, but network resources have no such qualifications. What I'm getting at is the ability to migrate/instantiate large, complex applications or even "virtual data centers" out of a physical data center/cloud. Aside from issues of scale, can this be done at all? Presumably this would be facilitated by managing things like virtual switches. What would it take to do this (in OVF)? What would this have to look like to be compatible with the VLAN management work being done using OpenFlow and IF-MAP in the OCC Virtual Network Testbed? (This will be hard to answer since I don't think there's anything written up yet.) What's the uptake of OCCI/OVF/CDMI in OpenStack? --Craig Minor editorial comments: 1) CMWG needs a citation. 2) The first reference to OVF occurs in the second paragraph of the Introduction but the citation [4] isn't given until two paragraphs later. 3) OVA is used by not defined.

OCCI Monitoring extension
by Jrad, Foued 20 Jun '11

20 Jun '11

Hi, I am a PHD student at the Karlsruhe institute of technology in Karlsruhe (Germany) . The focus of my research is service brokering in inter-cloud infrastructures. One of the requirements for the broker functionality is the use of a standard interface (pub/sub model) to consume monitoring data provided by different infrastructure providers. I plan to use OCCI for this purpose. When it is approximately expected to integrate monitoring extensions to the OCCI specifications? I heard that SLA@SOI is already working on a such extension! How can I contribute ?

SNIA Cloud Plugfest

Hi, I just saw that the next Cloud Plugfest has been announced on the SNIA webpage to take place July 12-14, 2011: http://www.snia.org/cloud/cloudplugfest/ I will have the chance to attend in person and two of my colleagues will probably attend remotely. Does anyone else plan to attend? From my past experience I can say that (at least) attending remotely is working well and very helpful for getting feedback. Cheers, Florian

Hi @all, Every reply I got implied that we should move to Thursday - same time. I'll try to get the conference bridge to be configured that way. We'll stay on the bi weekly confcall schedule. I'll send out an invitation for the next call - as soon as the conference bridge is setup correctly. Cheers, -Thijs

Looking for a new time for our bi-weekly confcalls...
by Thijs Metsch 01 Jun '11

01 Jun '11

Hi @all, We're currently looking for a new timeslot to organize our bi-weekly confcalls. The current timeslot conflicts with the meeting time of DMTF's CMWG - in which some of us want to participate. Also some other meetings take place the same day. Please send your personal favorite timeslot (Day and time) directly (Not reply-all) to me. @Mark: When does CDMI meet? - we don't want to conflict with that timeslot either :-) Many thanks, -Thijs
