Joel, my bad. It turns out that I penciled it while in Ams still, I turned it to Andrew for comments, and then forgot about it. I copy Dave. Any feedback vis a vis w/ the other archetypical use cases? Thanks -franco

Andrew, I want to align with your style of use case, I look forward to seeing yours . This is what I've drafted thus far for mine:

c) Grid infrastructure enables efficient dissemination of applications. It allows the resulting ensemble of application instances to evolve in space and time, without any operator involvement. Imagine a CIO Office that needs to efficiently deploy an application environment across one or more data centers, which may be in a campus or geographically dispersed. Quite likely, this Office will be interested in more than one aspect of the application lifecycle, including: location of target recipients, efficient dissemination, tuning of resources allocated to applications, aggregation, termination. For these operations, virtualized application environments like virtual machines represent a convenient abstraction and vehicle for dissemination (among several implementation choices). The CIO Office expects the Grid infrastructure to maximize the return of investment on the IT assets, with value propositions in the area of high-confidence software distribution and aggregation, load balancing, disaster recovery, optimized data access, and operational efficiencies (e.g., fewer operators and/or smaller power budgets).

thanks -franco

Franco - At the Amsterdam F2F, you signed up to write an archetypical use case for provisioning an application on demand. The context was for the technical strategy document.

My action was to follow up with you, and I'm only now doing that. Unfortunately, I should have followed up with you last month because the deadline for the TSC document is coming closer. My apologies for dropping the ball on this.

We have a TSC call today (which is why I was reviewing this), so do you think that you can provide me with either: a) A first draft of the archetypical use case, or b) A guess at when you might be able to have a draft ready (understanding that sooner is better so we can get this into public comment by OGF19).

Thanks,

Joel
