Re: [occi-wg] Use cases and requirements document

28 Jul 2009

      Hi,

Thanks! I'll add them to the req. tables and update the document. I
tried to keep all stuff complete so that the use cases and requirements
are synched. 

Cheers,

-Thijs

Thijs,
Thanks for this updated version.
I notice that there are two important requirements missing, from at
least the use case I proposed "Manage cloud resources from a
centralized dashboard", but maybe from others as well:
Taggability: Every resource discoverable by the API must be able to be
tagged by the user. This supports the oft-occurring situation where
resources, though they are identified by the implementation-specific
identifier, are easily identified using terminology defined by the
user for his specific context. For example, one might  tag resource
"/compute/instanceABCDEFG" with the label "database server", and the
resource "/storage/disk12345678" with the label
"superSecretCorporateData".
Searchability: The ability to request lists of resources must allow an
optional filter that can specify a category or tag upon which to
filter the results. This allows one to further limit their view to,
for example, resources tagged "productionEnvironment", or resources of
the category "storage".
I would rate both of these as a "Medium" priority. I have added these
to the Wiki.
We've discussed these use cases before - we should make sure they are
reflected in the requirements.

Hi,
I just upload a new draft version of the use case and
        requirements
        document. I added the latest use case and inserted the
        requirements
        tables:
http://forge.ogf.org/sf/docman/do/downloadDocument/projects.occi-wg/docman.r...
The IMPORTANT part comes now :-) Please review the tables
        especially
        with regards to the priorities! I added the priorities I
        thought might
        fit - but they need to be refined. During our next concall we
        are going
        through all the entries in the table and set the priorities
        right
All the best,
-Thijs
