OpenCloudware – FOKUS Open Cloud workshop – OW2 Berlin Day – 29 May 2012 1

What is OpenCloudware?
 Co-funded collaborative R&D project, 18 partners
 Development of software modules for building a IaaS-agnostic Dev to
PaaS enterprise-grade infrastructure platform
 Enables to easily build, generate and operate enterprise distributed
applications for deployment on any cloud
 Their modeling, assembly and build
 Their deployment and operation (PaaS)
 On multiple infrastructures (Multi-IaaS)
 3 years (Jan 2012 – Dec 2014)
 Supported by the French FSN (Fonds National pour la Société Numérique)
 Co-labeled by the Minalogic, Systematic and SCS Pôles de Compétitivité

OpenCloudware Software as a Service


Project Goals
 Produce a middleware platform based on components
 open platform for cloud software engineering
 for collaborative development of distributed Cloud applications
 targeting primarily enterprise JavaEE - OSGi virtual
appliances
 for IaaS-agnostic Cloud Server application provisioning and
deployment, orchestration and operation
 self-service management, elasticity, green IT optimisation
 with interoperable execution on multiple major Cloud IaaS
(incl. hybrid)
 The OpenCloudware platform will be available online as a SaaS

Technologies
 Extensive re-use and development of OW2 software
 PaaS: JOnAS, JASMINe, Petals, JORAM
 Security: AuthzForce
 Performance: CLIF
 Multi-IaaS: Sirocco, ProActive, Entropy
 Portal: eXo

 Use of other open source software
 Hudson, Maven, Jenkins, sunxaclm, jclouds etc.

 UForge for cloud image template management and VM
generation


Expected Results
 Open platform for cloud software engineering
 accessible to cloud architects and developers for easy cloud
solutions build, deployment and operation for multi-IaaS
 through a Self-Service portal
 Open and integrated software components for
 end-to-end modeling (THINK)
 development and server template factory (BUILD)
 multi-IaaS compatible PaaS platform (RUN)
 application tests (fonctional, performance)
 OpenCloudware results will be disseminated in open source
 within the OW2 Open Source Cloudware initiative (OSCi)


Architecture


Technological Advances
 End-to-end Modeling: Full stack from OS to applications and
confgurations incl. SLA, PaaS services and IaaS services
 End-to-end Automation: Life cycle automation from Dev to Cloud to
Cloud orchestration
 Build vApps: Service Factory for visual design and automated generation
of multi-tier server templates
 Autonomic management: Dynamic cloud software (VMs) evolutions,
allowing elasticity, Green IT optimisation, reliability...
 Multi-IaaS: Portability at the IaaS level, IaaS Agnostic services
 Security: Isolation of applications and security, identity and access control
management
 Links with other open source cloud projets such as FUI CompatibleOne, FP7 Contrail, …
(Other identifed projects: ANR/FUI SelfXL, ANR MyCloud, ITEA EasiCloud, FP7 4Caast, FUI
CoolIT, FUI Energetic, FUI AGOS, ANR OMD2)

Working Groups
 WG1: Modeling: applications, PaaS Services, IaaS capabilities
 WG2: Service Plan Builder; creation of distributed application
templates (OVF, IaaS agnostic)
 WG3: PaaS management Middleware: Enables Autonomic
Optimization and VM Management
 WG4: Multi-IaaS Interoperability & Orchestration
 WG5: Multi-Tenant Portal Services with RBAC support
 WG7: Enterprise Grade Multi-tenant PaaS Middleware
