CompatibleOne collaborates with Intel to develop automated cloud brokerage service,
using Intel Trusted Execution Technology to boost confidence in the security of cloud services.

“The aim of CompatibleOne is to foster a more open, transparent approach to cloud computing.
Incorporating the security capabilities of Intel Trusted Execution Technology into our platform
supports this objective by providing customers with additional reassurance about the integrity
and security of the compute pools used to handle their data.”
Jean-Pierre Laisne, Project Lead, CompatibleOne

Lessons Learned
CompatibleOne’s work with Intel has highlighted the potential for advanced server technologies such as Intel TXT
to provide more choice and greater security for end users of cloud services. By collaborating with Intel and
cloud service providers, it is harnessing the potential of Intel TXT to increase users’ trust in the security and
dependability of both its own automated brokerage platform and the compatible services it provides access to.

Action: Review of this document by all contributors for comments
Owner: Jean-Pierre & John

d) During an open discussion, the next steps were discussed by all participants. The following set of actions has been established in order for this proposal to be put into practice asap. 

Action: A project manager has to be nominated
Owner: Stuart

Action: Publication of the CompatibleOne Flight Plan for review and comments
Owner: Jean-Pierre (in replacement of a nominated project manager)

Action: Collect comments, modifications etc. during the next weekly meeting (30 May)

Owner:   (in replacement of a nominated project manager)

Discussions may also occur on Skype, IRC etc.

3) SLA
This session about SLA Management gathered around CO 3 other projects with different objectives: OpenCloudware, EasiClouds and Nuage.

Action : Organise a full day workshop dedicated to SLA with CompatibleOne, Easi-Clouds,  OpenCloudWare, Nuage
Owner: Patrice and Tatiana

4) CompatibleOne PaaS
Sami, Mohamed and Mohamed demoed and presented the work in progress concerning the CompatibleOne Application and Platform Service (COAPS). They evoked the possibility to extend it to SaaS.

Action: Organize a discussion about SaaS during next plenary meeting in order to understand what SaaS means from a CO perspective (integration, aggregation, customisation), with some use cases (e.g. FreeSurfer)
Owner: Sami & Jean-Pierre

5) Next steps
After reviewing the previous action items, Jean-Pierre reported the discussions with Stuart and Marc about the ecosystem development.

Action: CO Ecosystem Development Working Group to be set up with the objective to grow significantly the business ecosystem

As a follow up of last year's session “Open  Cloud  in  Europe”, we have the pleasure to organize, on Friday October 12th, 2012, 10am to 6pm, a whole Open World Forum track dedicated to open cloud and open standards, and would like to invite you to participate in this session to provide feedback from open cloud projects and on the usage of open standards. The session is .

The goal is to support Standards Development Organisations with your experience and insight: we want this meeting to be a forum where those who get their “hands dirty”, who are experienced in creating and deploying cloud applications, can present and question usage of and requirements for open standards.

We are looking for experienced developers who have faced issues when:

– using non-standard APIs,
– moving from non-standard/de-facto APIs/libraries to standard implementations,
– failing to use cloud standards,
– achieving interoperability between implementations / standards,
– achieving portability between implementations (e.g. there is no VM image standard... or is there?),
– trying to avoid implementation / provider lock-in,
– working on automation.

 Billy Cox's Bio:

Director in Software Services Group and responsible for Cloud Builders, who outlined how the Cloud Builders program is providing service providers and corporate IT teams with guidance on how to build and use their own unique clouds. Intel’s Cloud Builders program provides reference architectures in the key areas such as power management, security, and ‘on-boarding’ (securely migrating apps and content from private systems up to the cloud). End user customers are encouraged to use these reference architectures as the basis for their cloud designs or simply as a way to get a view into how the various software and hardware solutions operate. 

Maxime Morel et Julien Carpentier (INRIA - ENS Lyon) will present the CompatibleOne approach to energy efficiency of Cloud infrastructures at the Green IT & Cloud Aristote seminar.

Title: CompatibleOne, The Open Source Cloud Broker

Speaker: Jamie Marshall, Prologue.

Abstract: CompatibleOne is an open source project with the goal of providing middleware for the description, brokering and federation of heterogeneous clouds comprising resources provisioned by different providers and carriers. CompatibleOne aims at being interoperable with most platforms to provide maximum freedom to users and developers and consequently breaking vendor lock-in. Ian James Marshall will demonstrate the first cloud brokerage proof of concept by CompatibleOne and show the feasibility of cloud brokerage between OpenNebula and OpenStack platforms, validating the VM interoperability mechanisms as planned by CompatibleOne. CompatibleOne is open to anyone wishing to contribute efforts for the building of an Open Cloud respecting open standards and open data formats where all software and documentation is to be published under an open source license.

The third edition of the OW2 Annual Conference will take place on November 23-24, in Paris, Orange Labs (Issy Les Moulineaux). CompatibleOne will be represented in the panel discussion " The Future of Open Source Cloud Computing" and will be presented in the Cloud Summit and in the Collaborative Projects session.
