[clouds] Thoughts on ClooudOPS

["So, Ning" <[e-mail]>]

Bhumip and all,

 

As discussed in this morning's call, here are my personal views on the
proposed CloudOPS WG and the related drafts.

 

Frameworks, high-level requirements, and best practices descriptions on
cloud infrastructure that impact multiple IETF protocols under different
areas and WGs, and/or protocols outside of IETF, belong to the CloudOPS
WG.   New protocols that impact multiple IETF protocols under different
areas and WGs, and/or protocols outside of IETF, also belong to the
CloudOPS WG.

 

ARMD WG's work is very focused and much needed, and I voiced my support
for its establishment.    However, I see difficulties in broadening its
charter to make it a single and only default CloudOPS WG.  All the
non-ARMD related drafts will become distraction and cause confusion.

 

In my humble opinion, the following drafts belong to the CloudOPS WG.
Many of them were presented at Cloud BoF in IETF79, and are in the
process of getting updated for IETF80.  Several are new submissions that
are recently uploaded.  I think what we have here is more than one and
half hours of meeting time :-)  I really do not want to inflict the pain
on my ARMD friends.  

 

1.	Cloud Reference Framework
2.	Cloud Security Framework 
3.	VPN Extension for Cloud Services 
4.	Network Abstraction for Enterprise and SP Class Cloud 
5.	Protocol Considerations for Workload Mobility in Clouds 
6.	Service Management for Virtualized Cloud 
7.	Virtual Network Management Information Model
8.	Network Probability Requirements and Models
9.	Syslog Extension for Cloud Using Syslog Structured Data
10.	Virtual Resource Management (VRM) in Clouds

 

 

 

Best regards,
