> Hi,
>
> I have one rather significant comment, related to several questions 
> throughout the questionnaire.
> There are two scenarios potentially requiring integration with cloud 
> deployment:
>  A) app developer uses IaaS cloud infrastructure in order to test his 
> application (instead of heaving a dedicated testbed comprising 
> physical machines);
> B) app developer is developing an application which is designed to run 
> on top of Cloud infrastructure -- IaaS-style or PaaS-style.
> The two scenarios are very different in nature, but both would 
> potentially need to leverage deployment APIs provided by Cloud Hosting 
> GEs. By the way, this would also require tooling for creation of the 
> deployment package -- e.g., in OVF format.
> I would recommend adding explicitly these use-cases to the document. 
> Please, notice that in this case the "user" of the Cloud GEs would be 
> the IDE, rather the application or the application developer directly.

> Sorry I couldn't respond to this earlier. I don't think this

> flavors, as I outlined in my previous response), which is missing. 
> Cloud *does* requires other tools, but those are tools mostly for 
> FI-WARE instance provider - and I didn't see this in the scope of what 
> you are proposing to do.

> Perhaps we should have a deep-dive on this. Let's schedule 2-3 hours 
> interlock during the F2F (and maybe also a preliminary phone call 
> before that).
