I agree that the present trend of OCCI is not on resource features: OCCI
gives a way to define and "bind" resource types, and gives the provider the
freedom to decide such features. But the present model is influenced by the
original, resource specific model. A discussion about a feature not yet
figured out before the generalization process may be
of interest, after all.
I'm not sure if a clock can be considered as a resource in the OCCI way: as
is, I see the clock more as a feature (attribute?) of (certain) resources.
Like a processor speed for a compute resource. However, a master clock might
be considered as a resource by itself, and other resources could be bound
with OCCI links to indicate synchronization.

Clocks are another type of virtualized hardware resource...

Sounds like a good discussion topic! It might be a little out of scope for OCCI, but who knows where the discussion might lead to or what it might highlight.****

Dear all,****

I was wondering whether the features of the system clock of a virtual instance (compute or storage) may be of interest for the user. I wrote down 500 words on the topic (see Google doc below), and I'd be pleased to know your opinions, taking advantage of the intense "brain storm" during next OGF.****
