[Capi-bof] Cloud Standards Roadmap

Hi Sam,
I'm wondering, too, if there isn't a place - perhaps in "Fabric" - for an
overall common orchestration overlay layer. There is no such effort that I
am aware of, but I think it's a necessary component of the cloud. Basically
I think there needs to be a standard mechanism for orchestrating
provisioning and processes around the collaboration necessary between the
disparate components in the cloud. Having management and configuration APIs
for the different layers is great, but being able to tie them together in a
standards-based way would be beneficial.
I also don't have all the links handy so I won't edit the wiki, but under
"Vendor owned standards | Fabric" Citrix, Cisco, Radware, and Zeus
Technologies all have accessible APIs for management similar to F5 iControl.

Morning all,
I have added the Cloud
<http://wiki.cloudcommunity.org/wiki/Cloud_Standards_Roadmap> Standards
Roadmap to the Cloud <http://wiki.cloudcommunity.org/> Computing Community
Wiki. Please review it and let me know if there are any efforts I have
missed (or better yet, add them to the wiki). We can use this document as an
authorative source to track standardisation efforts and hopefully prevent
duplication/proliferation.
Thanks,
Sam

Almost a year ago in "Cloud
<http://samj.net/2008/08/cloud-standards-not-so-fast.html> Standards: not
so fast..." I explained why standardisation efforts were premature. A lot
has happened in the interim and it is now time to start intensively
developing standards, ideally by deriving the "consensus" of existing
implementations.
To get the ball rolling I've written a Cloud Standards Roadmap
<http://wiki.cloudcommunity.org/wiki/Cloud_Standards_Roadmap> which can be
seen as an authorative source for information spanning the various
standardisation efforts (including identification of areas where effort is
required).
Currently it looks like this:
Cloud Standards Roadmap
The cloud standards roadmap tracks the status of relevant standards efforts
underway by established multi-vendor standards bodies.
