Karuna P Joshi commented on VCL-577:
------------------------------------
I have the go ahead from IBM to release this to Apache and so I would like it
to be included in the next VCL release.
I will be able to support the broker design, however will need access to the
VCL sandbox platform at NCSU for that.
The paper detailing the design of the VCL broker and changes to VCL
architecture can be referenced at
http://ebiquity.umbc.edu/paper/html/id/612/A-policy-based-cloud-broker-for-the-VCL-platform

> Cloud Broker tool that will enable VCL users to specify their requirements
> via policies. For instance, they can specify their security needs, their
> software needs etc. using a web interface. The broker tool will discover the
> image that best matches these policies.
> The users (or broker tool ) can then issue a reservation for that particular
> image. This feature will be very useful for instances where the VCL user is
> not sure which VCL image will best match their needs.
