6. Sponsored by the National Science Foundation 6 Accomplishments 1: Advancing GENI Spiral 2 Goals (1/2) Continuous Experimentation –Early experiments for pre-GENI-experimenter workshop –Early IMF experiments –Joint ViSE/BEN demos of sensor/cloud integration Integration –Integrated DOME, ViSE, Kansei/NetEye testbeds Instrumentation and Measurement –Closely working with IMF, ERM and LEARN to run experiments on BEN (incremental demos at GEC7 and 8; full demo at GEC9) 08/26/2010

7. Sponsored by the National Science Foundation 7 Accomplishments 1: Advancing GENI Spiral 2 Goals (2/2) Interoperability –Developing ProtoGENI/AM-API (XML-RPC) ORCA controller Subject to resource representation conversion constraints NS2->NDL converter exists, ProtoGENI RSpec-> NDL being developed Identity/authorization is an issue for AM-API –Resource representation workshops Identity Management –Planning for/with Shibboleth –Demonstrated Shibboleth “edge” integration –SFA 2.0 opens de facto GENI standard to external IdPs –Relationship to ABAC 08/26/2010

8. Sponsored by the National Science Foundation 8 Accomplishments 2: Other Project Accomplishments We are pursuing an alternative CF vision that supports GENI long-term goals and is practical, inclusive and sustainable. –GENI as advanced multi-domain deeply-networked IaaS cloud orchestration Integrate with other substrates without owning them or requiring dedicated resources. Leverage standard provisioning interfaces Declarative resource representations (NDL+ ontology) Open substrate integration: –Example Eucalyptus integration demonstrates how GENI can use “ExoGENI” substrates –OpenFlow integration Connectivity: –Deployed ORCA-controlled switch at StarLight/iGENI to inter-connect Cluster D –Also enables connections to ESNet and I2 ION Multi-domain provisioning using dynamic circuit services: –Joint demos with ViSE and iGENI/StarLight Building on declarative W3C-standard based resource descriptions –Policies, queries, format converters 08/26/2010

9. Sponsored by the National Science Foundation 9 Issues SFA 2.0 vs. GENI AM API 1.0 conflict –Settling on AM API 1.0 as the basis for interoperability conflicts with our milestones (e.g. Shibboleth integration and others), our development path, and GENI standardization path Need for open substrate –CFs living above substrate, not “baked on” is the best guarantee of interoperability –Provides easy path for future new substrate integration Virtualization Models –GENI should leverage industrial-strength virtualization –Performance of VT for deeply-networked applications an issue (e.g. SR-IOV) –Support for bare-metal provisioning still useful/essential Identity/authorization issues are a barrier to interoperability –These should be factored out of CF and run as an external service, rather than reimplemented in each CF and managed independently for each testbed. 08/26/2010

10. Sponsored by the National Science Foundation 10 Plans What are your plans for the remainder of Spiral 2? –Consolidation and bug fixes –Preparing for GEC9 demos supporting experiments –Production testbed (and finding funding) The GPO is starting to formulate goals for Spiral 3. What are your thoughts regarding potential Spiral 3 work? –More open substrate integration (ORCA-BEN) ESNet, ION, MAX xCAT –Enhanced Shibboleth integration (ORCA-AUG) –NDL extensions, RSpec -> NDL conversion tools (ORCA-BEN) –User experiment tools (Gush, others) (ORCA-BEN) –Complex topology embedding (ORCA-AUG) –Monitoring and testing against deployment (ORCA-BEN) –“Virtual autonomous systems” on shared infrastructure 08/26/2010
