Somehow I miss a some texts highlighting that OCCI in a boundary protocol and can therefore be used for *aaS offerings...Also it should be addressed that we play well with others like Cloud Audit, CDMI and OVF...

I can currently only second Andy's comments - those are the same as mine. Most important is the Bibliography sections.

The updates for 6.4.2, 6.4.3, 6.4.4, 6.4.8 should be very simple by just adding OCCI in there...

Cheers,

-Thijs

Alan,

Here are some of my comments relating to this document. I know Thijs is also
reviewing the document so rather send off my comments perhaps we can
coordinate our replies here.



Comments:

In 6.4.2 "Use Case: Moving VMs and virtual appliances between Clouds"

This is missing the requirement of VM Control. If you can package up your
VMs you will still need a common means to provision the resource on the new
target cloud provider so those existing packaged VMs can be deployed.



In 6.4.3 "Selecting the best IaaS vendor for private externally hosted
Cloud"

The means to discover available resource types is available in OCCI. There
is however no means to discover the performance characteristics of those
resources.

Likewise for 6.4.8 "Discovering Cloud resources"



In 6.4.4 "Portable tools for monitoring and managing Clouds"

OCCI's availability should be marked as either "Reference Implementation"
(by many parties) or "Testing"



There is also a Bibliography section in the document and references to the
OCCI v1.1 document series should be added if possible.



HTH,



Andy
