think to paas for multi-iaas cloud computing: the opencloudware collaborative r&d project

OpenCloudware – Cloud Expo Europe, 25 January 2012

The OpenCloudware collaborative project

« Delivering a Cloud Platorm for Building, Maintaining and Operating Enterprise PaaS Distributed Applications »

Alban Richard, UShareSoft CEOCedric Thomas, OW2 CEO


What is OpenCloudware?

Co-funded Collaborative research project, 18 partners

Development of software modules for building a IaaS agnostic Dev to PaaS Enterprise Grade Infrastructure platform

Enables to easily build, generate and operate enterprise distributed applications for deployment on any cloud

Their Modeling, Assembly and Build

Their Deployment and Operation (PaaS)

On Multiple Infrastructure (Multi-IaaS)

3 years (Jan 2012 – Dec 2014)

Supported by the French FSN (Fonds National pour la Société Numérique aka Grand Emprunt)

Co-labeled by the Minalogic, Systematic and SCS Pôles de Compétitivité

OpenCloudware Goals

Produce a middleware platform based on components, open platform for cloud software engineering

for collaborative development of Cloud applications

targeting primarily enterprise JavaEE - OSGi virtual appliances

for IaaS agnostic Cloud Server Templates provisioning and deployment, orchestration and operation (self-service management, elasticity, green IT optimisation)

with interoperable execution on multiple major Cloud IaaS (incl. hybrid)

This platform will be available as a SaaS online platform

OpenCloudware Scope

projects


Technologies for OpenCloudware

Extensive re-use and development of OW2 software PaaS: JOnAS, JASMINe, Petals, JORAM

Security: AuthzForce

Performance: CLIF

Multi-IaaS: Sirocco, ProActive, Entropy

Portal: eXo

Use of other open source software Hudson, Maven, Jenkins, sunxaclm, jclouds etc.

UForge for cloud image template management and VM generation


Expected Results Open platform for cloud software engineering accessible to cloud architects and developers for easy cloud

solutions Build, Deployment and Operation for multi-IaaS through a Self-Service portal

Open and integrated software components for end to end modeling (THINK) development and server template factory (BUILD) multi-IaaS compatible PaaS platform (RUN) application tests (fonctional, performance)

OpenCloudware results will be disseminated in open source within the OW2 Open Source Cloudware initiative (OSCi)

Technological Advances End-to-end Modeling: Full stack from OS to applications and

configurations incl. SLA, PaaS services and IaaS services

End-to-end Automation: Life cycle automation from Dev to Cloud to Cloud orchestration

Build vApps (OVF): Service Factory for visual design and automated generation of multi-tier server templates

Autonomic management: Dynamic cloud software (VMs) evolutions, allowing elasticity, Green IT optimisation, reliability...

Multi-IaaS: Portability at the IaaS level, IaaS Agnostic services

Security: Isolation of applications and security, identity and access control management

Links with other open source cloud projets such as FUI CompatibleOne, FP7 Contrail, … (Other identified projects: ANR/FUI SelfXL, ANR MyCloud, ITEA EasiCloud, FP7 4Caast, FUI CoolIT, FUI Energetic, FUI AGOS, ANR OMD2)
