[occi-wg] About clock synchronization in the cloud

[Augusto Ciuffoletti]

I agree that the present trend of OCCI is not on resource features: OCCI
gives a way to define and "bind" resource types, and gives the provider the
freedom to decide such features. But the present model is influenced by the
original, resource specific model. A discussion about a feature not yet
figured out before the generalization process may be
of interest, after all.

I'm not sure if a clock can be considered as a resource in the OCCI way: as
is, I see the clock more as a feature (attribute?) of (certain) resources.
Like a processor speed for a compute resource. However, a master clock might
be considered as a resource by itself, and other resources could be bound
with OCCI links to indicate synchronization.
