[acs-wg] ACS considerations

[Thomas Studwell]

Good job Sachiko-san.

I have some of my own comments and comment to Mike's comment below.

Chart 2:  [A]DD includes the Lifecycle management procedures. so just add
the comment "specifies how to deploy, configure, run, terminate, ..." to
point to ADD object.  The SDD artifacts are the other objects, eg,
Executables, User Data, Configuration.  Change this to be ADD rather than
DD.

Chart 3:  AAF defines an XML document for exchanging the complete AA.  It
is not necessary that AAF be used within any ACS Instance for storing the
AA.  It is ONLY necessary for transferring a complete AA in and out of ARI.

Chart 4: User provides a collection of information and the AC and ADD for a
AA they wish to have created.  They do not, as a Producer, generate an AA
per se, the exception is a case where the user wishes to create a replica
but I call this a Replicator function rather than a Producer function (and
very important reason that we agree on and keep the roles distinct).  We
need to develop the type of information that needs to be included in the
collection but it has things like Description, Owner, Access Rights, etc.

Chart 5: good chart for focusing our conversations on the ARI and AAD.  We
need to talk more on this.

Chart 6: GetContents vs GetArchive need some conversation.

Comment about Mike's comment:
> I can envision some cases where a DD would not be present, in which case
the AAD should indicate so.
[TWS] My comment is that I can not see a case where this would be true.
Need some discussion on this.

Very helpful, thanks!  I have some comments:

I can envision some cases where a DD would not be present, in which case
the AAD should indicate so.

Slide 4: Agree about #3 not being needed.  I think the idea of having a
tool for the end user (like the portal in #2), is important.

I think we will need to support an import/export capability somehow, in
addition to transfer.

Export/Import Requirement?
