[gridvirt-wg] Confcall Sep 25

[Wolfgang Reichert]

Hi all,
here is my summary of the last conf call

8 participants:
Gregor Berginc, Xlab
Americo Sampaio, SAP
Mark Wusthoff, SAP
Philipp Drum, Sun
Nicholas Ferguson, OGF Europe
Thijs Metsch, Sun
Wolfgang Reichert, IBM
Erol Bozak, SAP

1. Feedback from RESERVOIR meeting
<Americo> Last week in Madrid

VMI Interface
Shall support collection (group of virtual machines --> relevant for 
multi-tier applications)
        placement decision considering relationships 

- Service manager takes care of collection
- Virtualization manager does not know of it

API simple as possible

Updated document due next week

2. OVF
Data model of the service manager, mapping to OVF
Extensions required, e.g. 
        elastic rows (i.e. adding instances to provide more computing 
power to the service)
        Security collisions/restrictions (like VM should not leave 
country)
        Interval of capacity (instead of fix number)

RESERVOIR uses the concept of "manifest", decided not to introduce a new 
format rather extending OVM

<Wolfgang> Provide IBM Böblingen contact (Andreas Maier) for OVF to Mark 
<DONE>

3. Collobaration between OGF and RESERVOIR
<Nicholas> Proposal for joint workshop in January 2009: OGF Europe with 
Reservoir about Cloud computing, etc.
Reservoir says that OGF gridvirt is the official channel for 
standardization
