Hi Andrea, For jCloud compute abstraction, I think I can do something "compliant". jClouds and Karaf instance (or even Cellar node) can map indeed.
For now it's a rough idea, but I will started a PoC on this area. I think other "application runtime provisioning" support can be interested in jClouds. Let me start a PoC (I will probably bother you with some questions ;)), I keep you posted. Thanks !
