[occi-wg] APIs for cloud computing

[Edmonds, AndrewX]

From the perspective of EU framework projects, there's a very interesting and compelling case to adopt OCCI, especially where 2 large FP IPs adopt. I for one will certainly be pro-OCCI with respect to infrastructure management within SLA at SOI.

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
