Scope
This workgroup deals with the issues around cloud brokering. With 10+ resource providers lined up to be federated into the EGI cloud testbed, users need effective ways to access cloud resources. The goal is for a user to have a choice between a unified, abstracted view of the cloud testbed as a whole and the opportunity to target specific providers for their needs. As a consequence, this workgroup is concerned with both brokers and OCCI clients.
Roadmap
- Collect information about existing solutions for cloud brokering compatible with the OCCI and CDMI management interfaces;
- Collect information about existing solutions for OCCI and CDMI clients;
- Make an inventory of the available solutions;
- Choose a broker and a client for the testbed;
- If possible, join the development teams of the chosen solutions to the task force;
- Coordinate with the TF Resorce Providers to deploy the chosen solutions;
- Extend the demo testbed addressing a real-life use case.
Clients Comparison Table
Client/API | URL | OS | Support | OCCI/CDMI | Functionalities | Effort required | Comments |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Hybridfox | http://code.google.com/p/hybridfox/ | Win/OS X/Linux | AWS/Eucalyptus/OpenStack/OpenNebula/HP Cloud | NO | Manage Images/Instances/Elastic IPs/Security Groups/Key-pairs | Low | Hybridfox does not support x509 auth, it uses EC2 auth for OpenNebula and OpenStack |
DeltaCloud | http://deltacloud.apache.org | Win/OS X/Linux | EC2/Eucalyptus/OpenStack/OpenNebula/vSphere | NO | Create/Start/Stop/Reboot/Destroy instances | Medium | DeltaCloud uses its own delta-cloud driver for each framework instead of OCCI. It provides storage support for S3, Warlus, Azure and Google Storage. |
Aeolus | http://aeolusproject.org/about.html | Win/OS X/Linux | Same as DeltaCloud | NO | Create/Start/Stop/.. instances. Manage different instances and Images from different private, public, or hybrid cloud providers. | Medium | Aeolus uses DeltaCloud cross-cloud abstraction library and it includes some extra functionalities. It includes Aeolus Conductor/Composer/Orchestrator/HA Manager |
rOCCI (API) | http://dev.opennebula.org/projects/ogf-occi | Linux | OpenNebula/EC2 | YES | Create/Start/Stop/Reboot/Destroy instances. Upload and register an image. Network conf. x509 auth. | Low | rOCCI is an OCCI 1.1 implementation for OpenNebula 3.x |
