[occi-wg] APIs for cloud computing

[Ignacio Martin Llorente]

Nice... as you mention in the document, OpenNebula is a VM Manager  
(tool for Datacenter/cluster virtualization or "private cloud" with  
support for "hybrid clouds"), being an open-source alternative to such  
as Platform VM Orchestrator, VMware vCenter or Microsoft System Center.

That is the reason why OpenNebula provides API/CLI for VM migration,  
physical resource management and monitoring... Although we do not  
provide a Cloud API, RESERVOIR is developing a Cloud API on top of  
OpenNebula (called VMI), exposing to remote users only part of the  
OpenNebula functionality.

I hope OCCIwill be adopted as Cloud interface by RESERVOIR, so the  
project could provide a reference implementation of the new  
specification using OpenNebula as back-end.

Regards
