[Fiware-cloud] FW: [] New cloud Interoperability testbed project on FutureGrid

[Alex Glikson]

Thanks, Andy -- indeed, sounds relevant. How familiar are you with this 
initiative? Thoughts how we can leverage it? Fernando -- any thoughts?

Regards,
Alex

-----------------------------

Dear folks interested in cloud standards testing:

I have proposed and the organizers have approved the following project in 
FutureGrid:

     "Cloud Interoperability Testbed:"  
https://portal.futuregrid.org/project/176

Description:
The Cloud Interoperability Testbed will serve as a mechanism to host 
interoperability tests for different machine control, data transfer, 
resource reporting and usage agreement standards and implementations of 
other new standards efforts. The primary purpose will be to give 
developers an opportunity to try out implementations of code that 
implements either server or client functionality for the use of multiple 
standards from different standards development organizations.

The initial effort for this project will be focused on implementations of 
the Open Cloud Computing Interface (OCCI) from the Open Grid Forum (OGF), 
Cloud Data Management Interface (CDMI) from the Storage Network Industry 
Association (SNIA), the Cloud Infrastructure Management Interface (CIMI) 
and the Open Virtualization Format (OVF) from the Distributed Management 
Task Force (DMTF). Other standards will be added as the project proceeds.


Membership in this project is open to anyone working in the area of 
cross-compatibility of cloud-related standards.  I have to approve 
membership as project manager and project lead, but it is my intent to 
approve all membership requests that are consistent with the above goals. 
Note this is NOT an OGF project, but is one in which OGF will participate, 
and is closely associated with the OGF Cloud Interoperability group and 
OGF/SNIA cloud plug-fest effort that is also open to DMTF members.

The purpose of the FutureGrid project is simply to provide an easily 
accessed mechanism for obtaining access to virtual machines that can be 
used for testing various aspects of implementations of cloud standards 
protocols and clients.  It is NOT necessary to reveal the inner workings 
of these implementations to other group members, although some wpirit of 
sharing information will obviously be of benefit to all group members.

To become a member of this project, sign up for a FutureGrid account at 
the portal:

https://portal.futuregrid.org/

Follow the link to the above project and become a member.

Please read all aspects of the project description and terms of use of 
FutureGrid.  This facility is not intended for hosting production 
commercial services or providing any other long-term production non- 
commercial service and is purely intended as a test bed.  Within these 
fairly mild limits, it is our hope that this will prove to be a useful 
service.
