Progress on OCCI v1.2; schedule for group meetings and interactions; implementation questions
by Sill, Alan 03 Sep '15

03 Sep '15

Hi OCCI-WG’ers, I notice that the Trello activities have been set up for processing of v1.2 comments, but have not seen activity since then. Is here a schedule or plan for joint work there? Also, I have some students working this fall on testing OCCI and CIMI implementations here, and doing a comparison once we get implementations that are working well. I’d like to exchange notes on this with folks who are working especially on OpenStack implementations, for topics such as moving from nova-network to neutron and working with the different keystone add-ons and authorization schemes. If you are working on such an implementation and would like to exchange notes, or have folks who would be interested in working with our students here on similar topics, please let me know directly. Thanks! Alan

Thought you would be interested in the following link to the video of the talk that I gave at the NIST Cloud Computing Forum and Workshop VIII in Gaithersburg, Maryland about a month ago describing OGF and introducing OCCI v1.2. Comments are welcome. On the current document set, how is the status after conclusion of public comments?

New paper on OCCI Monitoring
by AUGUSTO CIUFFOLETTI 24 Aug '15

24 Aug '15

I'm happy to announce the forthcoming publication of a paper based on occi-monitoring (as defined in the informational doc which was on public review in June). The self-explanatory title is: "Automated deployment of a microservice-based monitoring infrastructure" For those interested, there is a preliminary version available on Research Gate (link [1]) All the best Augusto Links: ------ [1] https://www.researchgate.net/publication/281200474_Automated_deployment_of_…

FYI This and the other co-located workshop on cloud federation organized by Craig Lee and David Bernstein also at the UCC 2015 conference may be of interest. If there is interest in holding a Cloud Plugfest also at this conference in this timeframe, please let me know ASAP. Of course we encourage papers and presentations about OCCI and its uses in the field in various projects and products at all of these opportunities. Thanks, Alan Begin forwarded message: From: Rafael Tolosana <rafaelt(a)unizar.es<mailto:rafaelt@unizar.es>> Date: August 8, 2015 at 4:49:29 PM CDT To: <distributed-computing-announce(a)datasys.cs.iit.edu<mailto:distributed-computing-announce@datasys.cs.iit.edu>> Subject: [DistComp] CloudAM 2015: 2nd CFP Reply-To: <rafaelt(a)unizar.es<mailto:rafaelt@unizar.es>> International Workshop on Clouds and (eScience) Applications Management - CloudAM 2015 (cloudam2015.lncc.br/<http://cloudam2015.lncc.br/>) In conjunction with the 8th IEEE/ACM International Conference on Utility and Cloud Computing Limassol, Cyprus.

All selected papers for this workshop are peer-reviewed and will be published in IEEE Xplore. Selected (extended) papers should be invited to submit to a high quality Journal special issue. ************************************************************************* DESCRIPTION Cloud computing, virtualization and virtual (eScience) applications are currently hot topics and have been generating substantial interest in the community and it is anticipated that this interest will expand. It is also important to the research community as it is challenging traditional methods by its sheer size and high level of automation. Clouds must provide appropriate levels of performance to large groups of diverse users, and those clouds are accessed through virtualized wide area networks. Management systems are essential for that and thereby for the future success of the cloud paradigm. New systems, methods, and approaches for cloud, virtualization and (eScience) applications management are to be discussed at this workshop. For the CloudAM 2015 workshop, researchers from the Clouds and (eScience) Applications communities are encouraged to submit and present original work to be considered for publication. Overall topics of interest include but are not limited to: Overall topics of interest include but are not limited to: - Cloud computing environments - Cloud service orchestration - Cloud APIs and usage control - Cloud data management - Cloud scalable monitoring - Cloud load balancing - Cloud federation management - Customer cloud management - Managing data centers - Management as a service - Management of virtual slices - IaaS Management - Application and Management Portals - Cloud Scheduling - Hybrid Clouds - Accounting and economic models for clouds - Management of virtualized hardware resources - Managing cloud services - Network-specific mechanisms for optimized cloud access - Performance modeling and evaluation - QoS/QoE management in the cloud - Management tools for infrastructure virtualization - Automated resource slicing - Integration of the wireless and optical domains - Policy driven service/resource life-cycle management - Applications and services enabled by virtualized infrastructure - Optimization of data center and workload energy consumption - Green Cloud Computing - Scientific Workflows on Clouds ************************************************************************* WORKSHOP CO-CHAIRS Bruno Schulze - LNCC, BR Luiz Bittencourt - UNICAMP, BR Rafael Tolosana-Calasanz - Unizar, ES TECHNICAL PROGRAM COMMITTEE (to be confirmed) David Abramson - Univ.

Typed Link Kind
by Jean Parpaillon 04 Aug '15

04 Aug '15

Hi all, With Olivier Barais, in CC, with which I am working on the OCCIware project, we would like to enhance the core specification with a way to constrain the Category of resources pointed out by occi.core.src and occi.core.target attributes of a link. For instance, in the infrastructure extension, while it is specified (and easily make sense) a NetworkInterface link must be linked to a compute and a network instance, there is no formal way to define this constraint. A proposal would be to add new type of Category, sub-type of Kind, with following attributes: - parent: instantiated as http://schemas.ogf.org/occi/core#link - occi.core.src.type: additional attribute, type category id - occi.core.target.type: additional attribute, type category id The name of this type of Category could be "TypedLinkKind". What do you think of this ?

End of public comment period for OCCI 1.2 is today
by Sill, Alan 31 Jul '15

31 Jul '15

Just a reminder that the announced public comment period ends today for the proposed recommendation documents for OCCI 1.2 (the same period ended last month for the informational document for OCCI monitoring). Per the usual OGF procedure, nothing prevents further comments from being received and processed by the group after the public comment period, but this marks the end of the required period. It's up to the OCCI group to evaluate, incorporate and/or resolve these comments. It can at its choice request an extension of this period or, if changes incorporated into any given document are extensive, choose to request an additional comment period. Once the group is happy with any given document or set of documents, the group chooses when to submit them to the Editor for further review by the GFSG. Good luck and I'm sure any questions you might have will be willingly answered by Greg Newby (OGF Editor), Richard Hughes-Jones (Area Director for Infrastructure), or Jens Jensen (Vice President of Standards).

OCCI Compliance
by João Paulo Forny 29 Jul '15

29 Jul '15

Hi, I'm looking for tools to test compliance regarding the OCCI specification and found doyouspeakocci, but it's offline. Also I stumbled across mentions of a OCCI Test Matrix, but no official information or documents. Are there other tools or methods for this purpose? What are your advices for proving OCCI compliance? Thanks in advance! João Paulo
