Roadmap

• Investigate how to do double endorsement

• Investigate x509 + VOMS authentication

Scope

This workbench deals with the issues around setting up a VM Marketplace to:

• Provide a publicly searchable place for VMs that may provide the application that is needed
• Provide a common place to add a token of endorsement to a pertinent VM

Marketplace Howto

Publishing metadata for images stored in RP local image store

In this case we are publishing metadata describing an image that is stored in a Resource Providers local image store. The metadata will contain an OCCI storage link that can be used by a user when creating a compute resource at that provider.

1. Install the StratusLab command line client.

   See http://www.stratuslab.org/doku.php/tutorial:installation

   This provides the commands needed to create metadata and to upload to the Marketplace

2. Obtain the OCCI URL for the image. The attached script will do this:

   perl get-occi-link.pl -host=http://<occi_host> -port=<occi_port> -image="<image_name>"

3. To create the metadata you must have access to the image file. The file passed to stratus-build-metadata should be uncompressed. The location should be set as the OCCI URL retrieved in the previous step.

   stratus-build-metadata

   --author=<author>

   --os=<os>

   --os-version=<os version>

   --os-arch=<arch>

   --image-version=<version>

   --comment="A description of the image"

   --compression=<compression>

   --location=<occi url>

   </path/to/image>

4. The metadata must now be signed.

   stratus-sign-metadata

   --p12-cert=</path/to/cert>

   --p12-password=<password>

   --email=<endorser email>

   <metadata file>

5. And finally uploaded

   stratus-upload-metadata

   --marketplace-endpoint http://marketplace.egi.eu

   <metadata file>
