[occi-wg] OCCI implementation for Synnefo IaaS

[John Giannelos]

By that we don't mean that synnefo networking and storage API cannot be 
mapped to OCCI in general, but to OCCI Infrastructure specifications.

Regarding storage implementation, by now we have no separate volume 
support in our storage API so this would be a missing element in the 
translation from OCCI.
About networking, our API supports a more abstract way of dealing with 
networks and it is a still a work in progress with lots of details yet 
to be decided.

These above are the reasons why we have chosen to only implement the 
compute part, which is a subset of our API, considered to work well with 
OCCI.

Here in GRNET [1] we are currently developing an API translation proxy in order Synnefo [2], our IaaS cloud management software to be compatible with OCCI specifications. Synnefo can be seen in action, powering the ~okeanos service, at http://okeanos.grnet.gr. ~okeanos aims to deliver advanced IaaS for the Greek academic and research community. Some resources about our work regarding OCCI can be found here [3].
