Re: Cloud Broker tool for VCL
Hi Andy, Yes, the image inventory feature will be very useful to the broker tool. I would like to request adding some more information with this inventory list - like security/access, data encryption/deletion, compliance policies etc. regards, Karuna On Tue, May 1, 2012 at 2:12 PM, Andy Kurth wrote: > This will be a nice addition.

Re: Cloud Broker tool for VCL
This will be a nice addition. I think another "image inventory" issue I created may complement this: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VCL-561 Very little work has been done on this so far but the intention of the first stage is to retrieve some basic details about images such as installed applications and patch levels. These details will be stored in the database when an image is captured. It should also be possible query some attributes dynamically from offline images. With KVM for example, you can view the files in an offline image and query the registry of offline Windows images. I'm hoping some sort of image inventory feature will be included in VCL 2.4. I intend to work on this at some point after 2.3 is released. I'd be happy to try to incorporate the retrieval of any specific information which would be useful for the broker. -Andy On Tue, May 1, 2012 at 12:16 PM, Karuna P Joshi wrote: > Hello, > > I have created a new issue under the VCL project for developing a cloud > broker tool for VCL.

Re: Cloud Broker tool for VCL
Hello Mark, I agree with the goal that you have articulated. The scope of the tool will be to query across the various image attributes (like software installed, OS supported, provider, security policies etc.) and then provide the user with the best option(s) that s/he can select from. I am currently identifying all the policies that can be associated with a Image, specially aligning them with NIST's cloud computing policies and will share the list for feedback once it's ready. regards, Karuna On Tue, May 1, 2012 at 12:38 PM, Mark Gardner wrote: > Karuna, > > I think this is a great idea. > > I wonder if the idea should be broadened a bit though.

Re: Cloud Broker tool for VCL
Karuna, I think this is a great idea. I wonder if the idea should be broadened a bit though. Right now, the only thing that distinguishes one image from another is the name. We should provide some kind of mechanism in which the user can query and receive suggestions as to which image should be used. In your use case, the query parameters would relate to selecting which cloud provider to use. In another case, it may be querying which software is installed in an image. There are undoubtedly other types of queries that are desirable as well. (The NC State folks probably have some suggestions since their image list is quite long.) The goal would be to make it easier for someone to select an appropriate image even when they don't know much about the images. A general mechanism should allow your use case to be served as well as others we have yet to define. Mark -- Mark Gardner --
Cloud Broker tool for VCL
Hello, I have created a new issue under the VCL project for developing a cloud broker tool for VCL. This goal of this tool is to 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 VCL 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. I have attached slides that explain our methodology for cloud service lifecycle. I have also included a high level architecture diagram of the tool and look forward to any feedback on the design. regards, Karuna Karuna Pande Joshi PhD Candidate, CSEE Dept, UMBC kjos...@umbc.edu, karuna.jo...@umbc.edu
