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.
