(using RSpec resource description)[[BR]] Demo experiment where Cluster D researchers stitch L2 connectivity across Cluster C (protoGENI), and Cluster D sites[[BR]] Demo experiment where Cluster D researchers include tools (e.g., GUSH) to help authorize, reserve and assign resources via “ORCA SM API v1.0” XMLRPC interface to their SM (like protoGENI AM API?) (same as GENI AM API v2.0? )[[BR]] === Spiral 3 Roadmap (proposed) (12:20pm, Mussman and Baldine) === Task list: Streamline Cluster D site setup and operation, including cluster (Eucalyptus) and connector (L2 switch, with full tag mapping) Streamline connectivity to Cluster D sites on campuses, via regional networks (LEARN project) Allow Cluster D researchers to obtain and stitch resources from multiple Cluster D sites, connected by backbone domain, using their SM. Plan to authenticate users in SM via InCommon/Shibboleth With other CFs, a plan for consistent names and interfaces With other CFs, a plan for resource descriptions at interoperability interfaces Plan to interop with other CFs, particularly from and to protoGENI (Cluster C) Allow GENI (e.g., protoGENI) researchers to obtain resources via GENI AM API v1.0 (using RSpec resource description) Allow Cluster D researchers to include tools (e.g., GUSH) to help authorize, reserve, assign and configure resources via “ORCA SM API v1.0” XMLRPC interface to their SM (like protoGENI AM API, same as GENI AM API v2.0? ) Plan to get resources from protoGENI aggregates via GENI AM API v1.0 (or protoGENI AM API?) (using RSpec resource description) Plan for naming and stitching L2 connectivity across Cluster C (protoGENI), and Cluster D sites Plan for operations portal into Cluster D site, including status and logs, with connections to GMOC Views: Figure 1-1) and 1-2): CLuster D Config at end of Spiral 3 Figure 2): ORCA Site Config Figure 3): Multiple ORCA Sites Figure 4): ORCA Interop with protGENI Figure 5): ORCA Experiment Flow === ORCA Features Spiral 2 report and Spiral 3 roadmap (12:20pm, Baldine) === * Upcoming Bella 2.2 status * Bella 2.2 Features in detail * XMLRPC controller * Eucalyptus integration and NEuca extensions * Euca site experiment topology embedding * Format conversions (http://geni-test.renci.org:11080/ndl-conversion/convert.jsp) * Actor registry * Bella 3.x upcoming Spiral 3 features * New substrate support * Experiment support * Authentication and authorization * ProtoGENI interoperability * Connectivity planning * Naming and format conversions * Handlers and policies * Tools integration * Clearinghouse and intra-cluster connectivity * Status * Actor registry * Future == Project Reviews (From 1:00pm through 2:40pm) == Each project should prepare NO MORE THAN THREE slides for presentation, and upload to the wiki below: 1) Current status near end of Spiral 2, and plans for Spiral 3: 2) Connectivity capabilities, now near end of Spiral 2, and plans for Spiral 3: [[BR]] Control framework message flows? [[BR]] Component programming via SSH? [[BR]] VLAN connectivity to Internet 2? NLR? How many VLANs? (Goal: By 10/1/09) [[BR]] Ability to control setup of VLANs as part of experiment? (Goal: By 3/16/10, GEC7) [[BR]] Ability to control setup of VLANs as part of experiment involving multiple aggregates? (Goal: By 7/20/10, GEC8) [[BR]] 3) Experiment capabilities, now near end of Spiral 2, and plans for Spiral 3: [[BR]] Ready to use by outside researchers? How is it done? (Goal: By 11/16/09, GEC6) [[BR]] Use by outside researchers? What has been done? [[BR]] Use involving multiple aggregates? What has been done? (Goal: By 7/20/10, GEC8) [[BR]] Use for research experiments? What has been done?
