| | 9 | At the end of this exercise, you will be able to: |
| | 10 | * Use and understand the following terms: |
| | 11 | - Resource Specification (aka RSpec) |
| | 12 | - sliver |
| | 13 | - Aggregate Manager API (AM API) |
| | 14 | * Customize the resources they reserve using standard mechanisms: |
| | 15 | - understand that a resource specification (RSpec) is an XML file |
| | 16 | - understand that resources are reserved using the aggregate manager API (AM API) |
| | 17 | - understand how to load a topology using an RSpec |
| | 18 | - have edited an RSpec using a tool (Flack) as well as by hand |
| | 19 | - have reserved and deleted resources using a command line tool (omni) |
| | 20 | - know how to specify the image to load on a compute node |
| | 21 | - know how to have software automatically loaded and run on a compute node |
| | 22 | - have run a simple layer 2 experiment |
| | 23 | * Use multiple tools to act on a slice and reserve resources |
| | 24 | - understand that all tools use common mechanisms to describe resources (RSpecs) and to reserve resources (the AM API) |
| | 25 | * Understand the strengths of different types of GENI racks |
