Hello, I have created a new issue under the VCL project for developing a cloud broker tool for VCL. This goal of this tool is to enable VCL users to specify their requirements via policies. For instance, they can specify their security needs, their software needs etc. using a web interface. The broker tool will discover the VCL image that best matches these policies. The users (or broker tool ) can then issue a reservation for that particular image. This feature will be very useful for instances where the VCL user is not sure which VCL image will best match their needs. I have attached slides that explain our methodology for cloud service lifecycle. I have also included a high level architecture diagram of the tool and look forward to any feedback on the design.
regards, Karuna ____________________ Karuna Pande Joshi PhD Candidate, CSEE Dept, UMBC kjos...@umbc.edu, karuna.jo...@umbc.edu
