brief description:
This software is a Java implementation of OCCI according to GFD.184 using OVF messages and OpenNebula as back end.Technically speaking, VENUS-C.Interoperable Toolkit is an OCCI to OCA gateway, translating RESTful calls to the OCCI methods into OCA RESTful calls and the OVF XML message is translated into OpenNebula VM templates.This project has been realised as part of Venus-C EU project.

Description

OCCI interface that accepts OVF(Open virtualization format) input on top of the Opennebula OCA interface.

Installation

Get the package ovf4one.war from http://grids15.eng.it/svn/main/ovf4one and deploy the application into tomcat. PS : This project is partially implemented and the development is in progress. The Compute part is implemented and is available for testing. While implementation on storage and network is in progress.

Benefits

Combines the advantages of OVF format(an open standard for packaging virtual appliances) and OCCI interface(a flexible API with a strong focus on interoperability). This tool provides an OCCI Restful interface that accepts OVF packaging format thus providing a unified interface with a single, pre-packaged appliance to be used on heterogeneous virtualization platforms.
