| 153 | Discussion on monitoring |
| 154 | |
| 155 | - Jeff: hyperic may be a good tool that uses ganglia to monitor VM |
| 156 | status, can be extended to other things than VM; have a student |
| 157 | working on this; looking for input as to whether this is a good |
| 158 | direction. |
| 159 | |
| 160 | Ilia: have looked at PCP for a monitoring system. some concern that |
| 161 | Hyperic may have an uncertain future as it was acquired last month. |
| 162 | have indicated to GMOC that there is a strong preference to |
| 163 | developing a SOAP interface |
| 164 | |
| 165 | Heidi: need to think about what data you want to expose and share |
| 166 | |
| 167 | Anish: Kansei has an interface for getting experiment and substrate |
| 168 | status. |

| 184 | Discussion of Spiral 2 Capabilities (see Harry's notes) |
| 185 | |
| 186 | - Chip: central goal of Spiral 2 is live experimentation; won't be |
| 187 | easy; everything else is secondary |
| 188 | |
| 189 | - Experiments: Want to see experiments of end-to-end systems, e.g., |
| 190 | matching networks with servers, sensors with clouds, content with |
| 191 | buses, radars & buses |
| 192 | |
| 193 | - Identity management: DOME plans to plug into some foreign |
| 194 | authentication manager. GPO plans to try to go to Shib & InCommon, |
| 195 | since it looks like it might take hold broadly. Rough mental model |
| 196 | is that in the early days, almost anybody can use this. Need ways |
| 197 | to say 'these people are out' but probably don't need elaborate |
| 198 | policies early on. GPO is interested in knowing whether folks |
| 199 | believe moving to Shibboleth is a bad idea. Shib has been most |
| 200 | successful for managing user access to a portal, seems good for GENI |
| 201 | as far as that goes and that's what ORCA uses it for. What that |
| 202 | user is allowed to do is another issue and not currently handled by |
| 203 | Shib attributes. Shib is only starting to handle delegated |
| 204 | authority, still early days. |
| 205 | |
| 206 | - Improved integration. |
| 207 | |
| 208 | Need to improve distribution of keys to containers. Currently |
| 209 | manual, ugly, error prone, requires documentation but will work |
| 210 | until container reaches 10's. Currently no privacy. Could be added |
| 211 | by using HTTPS on transport. |
| 212 | |
| 213 | - Measurements |
| 214 | |
| 215 | DOME collects location information on buses but needs a solution on |
| 216 | providing it to GENI users. Has also been thinking about |
| 217 | longitudinal studies, Brian will send Chip a copy of a paper. |
| 218 | |
| 219 | ERTM will prototype hardware, interface it with BEN, integrate with |
| 220 | ORCA. |
| 221 | |
| 222 | - Interoperability. Want to avoid CF balkanization. |
