[occi-wg] Is OCCI the HTTP of Cloud Computing?

[Tino Vazquez]

Hi everyone,

I would like to see a clone verb (or maybe attribute, not sure about
this) for drives, also maybe as an extension. I'm thinking on
implementations sharing images using shared storage, this will allow
to use those images directly, and obviously "cloning" set to "no" will
make this image persistent automatically. What do you think?

About the choice of format, as much as I like XML and Atom specially,
I would advocate for the "simpler is nicer" principle is there is
nothing that proves that it can do things that simple text or even
JSON (from which I can see benefits for machine and human readibility)
simply can´t, which also I haven't seen so far (Sam, please, correct
me if I am wrong).

Regards,

-Tino
