Dear all, talking and listening to people here during OGF42, I perceived that there is a strong demand for a notification mechanism inside OCCI, that is able to carry an asynchronous notification about a relevant event. For instance, "this job is now running" from an hypothetical job resource, or "this VM is going to shut down in 5 seconds" from a Compute. This demand is in fact more compelling than that about monitoring, and may be in fact integrated in OCCI-monitoring at a later time. So I'll give precedence to OCCI-Notification. The specification is very simple: one single link ("Notification"), and two types of mixins, one for the triggering event, one for the triggered action. Any "thumb up" or input from you is relevant, and I will submit soon a proposal about that. -- Augusto Ciuffoletti Dipartimento di Informatica Università di Pisa 56100 - Pisa (Italy)
