[occi-wg] OpenNebula v1.4 brings a new framework to easily develop Cloud interfaces

[Ignacio Martin Llorente]

Hi,

This email is to inform that we have just released a beta version of  
OpenNebula v1.4, which brings among other innovations a new OpenNebula  
Cloud API (OCA) to easily develop any Cloud interface or Cloud  
application. As example we have implemented a new EC2 Query-API  
service on top of OpenNebula that exposes a subset of the Amazon's  
Query API. The OCA framework is being used to develop the RESERVOIR  
Cloud interface and will be used  to develop the OGF OCCI API (see http://www.opennebula.org/doku.php?id=documentation:rel1.4#cloud_interfaces)

I have just updated the resources page in the group WIKI with links to  
the new interfaces.

Please note that OpenNebula 1.4 Beta 1 is not suitable for production  
settings. Its sole purpose is gathering feedback and testing the new  
exciting features, such as VMware support, libvirt implementation on a  
distributed system, advance contextualization…The final stable version  
will be released in September 2009.
