Why OpenNebula? Design principles


The Challenges Interoperability and Portability

VM

VM VM VM VM

1. Management Interfaces

2. VM Image Format 4. Cross-site Networking

3. Contextualization


Our Approach Leveraging Existing Standards and Implementing Interoperation

Standardization ●  Implement standards ●  Integrate with standards

Which Standard? ● Different de jure standards ● Several de facto standards

Interoperation ●  Implement adaptors ● Use transformers


Our Approach Native XML-RPC API. Control and Manage Any OpenNebula Resource

OpenNebula Cloud API Survey Level of Use of the Current APIs

38% do not expose cloud APIs, their users only

interface through the Sunstone GUI

36%

mostly use the AWS API

26%

mostly use the OpenNebula’s OCCI API or the OCCI API offered by rOCCI
