[occi-wg] Cloud Standards Integration - Request for comments

[Augusto Ciuffoletti]

The document is extremely interesting, and stimulating. I guess that if
you'd organize a "hands-on" seminar on this way at some OGF you would
fill-up the plenary room. Here following a few issues:

*"It should be noted that aspects such as authorisation and authentication
are not dealt with in
this document as these issues are orthogonal ones dealt with by other
technologies" *- (Executive Summary)

Security aspects are not so orthogonal as one might want: a design that does
not take into account from the beginning security aspects hardly succeeds to
add them later on as a feature. In my opinion your document takes care of
security aspects, but simply does not unfolds all the details.

*"To support a live migration where there is little or no down-time of the
service, the relevant
capabilities (e.g. live migration across sub-nets) would need to be
supported by the provider
rather than the specifications."* - (Service migration and redeployment)

Obscure, but challenging. Would you mean that this requires internal
operation (agreement) between providers more than the provision of uniform
APIs?

*About Craig's e.mail*

One problem concerning virtual networks, and markedly VLANs, is the degree
of control and monitoring the final user may have on the virtual networking
infrastructure. I'm thinking to legacy Grid infrastructures re-deployed on
IaaS, for instance.

Overall, I appreciate the document as is. Thank you for the effort in
connecting so many relevant topics.
