OpenStack Folsom Design Summit

The DMTF is working with a number of Cloud vendors and consumers to develop an IaaS API called CIMI (Cloud Infrastructure Management Interface). This sessions is focused on designing an implementation as an optional alternative to the existing OpenStack and EC2 APIs. A brief overview of the specification will be given with a mapping of CIMI concepts and APIs to existing OpenStack APIs. Discussions will be centered on where the implementation would exist, on the ideal architecture for invoking APIs across the entire spectrum of OpenStack projects, and on addressing incompatibilities between the spec and existing OpenStack APIs. (Session lead is Doug Davis)
