Cloud Interoperability
• Introduction to cloud interoperability • Overview of current challenges in cloud
interoperability • Collaboration with other organizations • Survey of existing plug-‐fests and other
interoperability points of contact • Collecting ideas, approaches and experience as
starting point for a new Cloud Interop WG • Collaboration with other organizations • Next steps
Agenda
• Interoperability in Cloud Computing is of increasing importance. Several cloud standards have emerged in recent years and implementations for them are starting to show up.
• Customers and providers interested in using the standards are requiring best-‐practise documents for using or implementing the different standards and also rely on information how they can combine multiple standards.
Introduction to cloud interoperability
• Several different Cloud Standards from different parties are existing
• Several OGF standards currently not or only partly ready for the cloud
• A consistent OGF Cloud Portfolio is needed • strategies for combining different Cloud Standards /
APIs are needed • existing implementations of Cloud APIs need to get
interoperable • Combined Interoperability Verification Suites need to be
developed • People need to be brought together to talk about issues
in specifications and implementations
Overview of current challenges in cloud interoperability
• SNIA – Collaborative organization of Plugfests for CDMI & OCCI – OCCI and CDMI share links in the specification – SNIA just started a Cloud Interoperability group targeted at Cloud Storage
• ETSI – Interested in doing interoperability testing for Cloud APIs – Offered help with organizing plugfests and coordinating interoperability
testing • CSCC
– End-‐users interested in the adoption of Cloud standards • DMTF
– Working on Cloud standards such as OVF and CIMI – Open for a closer collaboration with OGF regarding OCCI and CIMI
• NIST – NIST Working Definition of Cloud Computing – Cloud Computing Use Cases
Collaboration with other organizations
• SNIA Cloud Plugfest targeting OCCI & CDMI – Recently organized for the 4th time – Very productive, brings together developers and members of standardization bodies
– >50 participants from all around the world – Large participation by companies – Can be easily extended to incorporate other standards
• ETSI Plugtests – Long history of organizing plugtests for Telecommunications standards
– Developed tools for documenting the standards compliance status of implementations
Survey of existing plug-‐fests and other interoperability points of contact
• What do you see as the current challenges? • What should a Cloud Interoperability WG target? • Who should be involved? How can we reach out? • Where are possible overlaps with other existing
groups from within OGF or from other standardization bodies?
• What do you understand by Cloud Interoperability?
Collecting ideas, approaches and experience as starting point for a new Cloud Interop WG
• collect use cases / scenarios • landscape of existing approaches • reference and document existing interoperability efforts • Reference / create definition of Cloud Interoperability • create cloud interoperability profile / profiles for Cloud APIs • verify passing of interoperability profile at Plugfests • Check with other OGF WGs to identify overlaps • Sync up with other standardization bodies • Write up experience/best practices from interoperability
testing • Cloud Interoperability WG creation?
