I see what you mean by the L-Shape - maybe diagonal would work: ////.

Not sure.   This is what I rendered in '09 (with Securuty/Management on the right in the pink).  It depicts transport as a layer beneath applications in hopes that a common way to perform different types of transport can be standardized.  For instance, a data distribution policy could be assigned which details SLA on data delivery schedule and time to live, etc.  Then a trasport can execute that between cloud sites and or nodes.  Of course, from an external system, REST APIs are great.  Control could extend to a horizontally ( --|) in their framework to represent management of other things.

Yes; depicting any of these layers (to the extent that they in fact are layers, which can be debated) as blocks is difficult.  

The L-shaped blocks shown are intended to indicate that these can be used in ways that bypass the others and proceed directly to the underlying fabric. But that also can be debated.

Can you suggest another way to emphasize the role of data transport, container- and content-level access in cloud infrastructures?

I like the DaaS layer, but sense that it may best if it were depicted vertically against the other services (depending on scope)...or just perhaps adjacent to SaaS.  Also, I'm not sure that PaaS should be depicted beneath SaaS and DaaS.

The NIST Reference Architecture Analysis Team is wrapping up its work as input for the report to be prepared prior to the upcoming NIST Cloud Computing Forum and Workshop III.

The attached represents the current output of the analysis team. Can the OCCI OGF work group members please look this over and offer any insight or comments that may come to mind, please?

We need this ASAP.

Thanks,
Alan

Good morning RAAT members,
 
I hope you are doing great.  I copied you in my reply to Bob's email earlier this week.  I just want to remind you that this will be our last opportunity to enhance our comments and recommendations.  Please feel free to add and make changes to the attached document.
 
I've asked Bob to give our team until 3/14 to finalize the document.
 
Thanks,
Hung

Hello Bob,
 
I hope you are doing great.  Thank you very much for your question.  Based on the RAAT's diverse in opinions at Monday's meeting, I think the team will have to tweak version v0.5 report before we submit the finalized version as v1.0. 
 
Please give us until Monday 3/14/11 to incorporate all the changes that were discussed this past Monday.
 
RAAT members:  Please let Gregg and I know of your final comments before the report is submitted to Bob as the final deliverable.
 
Thanks,
Hung

Hung,

Quick question about the naming convention on your report. I see it ends in “v0.5”. Is this a final version of your deliverable or version 0.5?

Frankly, I would like to call it your team’s final copy since we will be working on the developing questions based off of the recommendations.

 

-Bob
