[Fiware-cloud] another cloud infrastructure EU project

[Alex Glikson]

Anyone is familiar with BonFIRE?
http://www.bonfire-project.eu/infrastructure 

BonFIRE currently comprises 6 geographically distributed testbeds across 
Europe, which offer heterogeneous Cloud resources, including compute, 
storage and networking. Each testbed can be accessed seamlessly with a 
single experiment descriptor, using theBonFIRE API which is based on OCCI. 

BonFIRE also supports elasticity within an expeirment, i.e., dynamically 
create, update and destroy resources from a running node of the 
experiment, including. cross-testbed elasticity. 
BonFIRE offers on-request compute resources, allowing experimenters to 
reserve large quantities of physical hardware (162 nodes/1800 cores 
available). This gives experimenters flexiblity to perform large-scale 
experimentation, as well as providing greater control of the experiment 
variables as exclusive access to the physical hosts is possible. 

Anything we can leverage?

Regards,
Alex
