This document provides an overview of OCCIware, a project that aims to create a cloud consumer platform using the Open Cloud Computing Interface (OCCI) standard. It discusses the need for such a platform given the fragmented state of existing cloud solutions. OCCIware takes a model-driven engineering approach, using Eclipse modeling tools to generate an OCCI extension, designer, and runtime configuration from a domain model. The document demonstrates using these tools to model a Linked Data application and deploy its configuration to Docker. Upcoming work on OCCIware includes improving existing generators, integrating additional capabilities like simulation, and contributing back to the OCCI standard.

3. Once upon a time...

4. Once upon a time...
• In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit.

5. Once upon a time...
• In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit.
• On his shoulders the fate of the world came
to rest.
• In order to save creation, he had to cross the
world and drop a ring in a volcano to rid it
of evil.

6. Wait a minute.
Err... sorry, this would have been easy
peasy, but that's folktales. Let me try
again :
• In order to save creation, he had to
monitor energy consumption everywhere on
Earth to overturn climate change.
Now we're in the real world here.

7. Monitor energy consumption
• Not only per user, or per utility provider
company,
• but per city, region, country,
- and per activity, usage, number of
children, amount of hair on feet would
most probably help also.
Multi-point of view data... that calls for an
open world approach of data – that's Linked
Data.

8. Linked Data & Datacore
• Linked Open Data ? That's Open Data sets that can
be cross-queried because they have been
semantically reconciled together
• Enter Ozwillo Datacore :
- it holds data that is shared between applications of
the Ozwillo app store : geographical elements,
organizations, reusable app business data…
- it stores it in a shardable replicated MongoDB and
is built in Apache CXF / Spring & Java
- it provides it through a REST API that is both web-
friendly and semantic web-compatible thanks to
JSON-LD, and helps developers with a Playground.

9. Linked Data, as a Service

10. Linked Data as a Service
(LDaaS)
But not your dad's Linked Data. If you want it to save
the world, it has to scale up the whole way :
• at Infrastructure level - that's IaaS : provision
enough CPU & storage, for each city
• at Platform level - that's PaaS : deploy java code
and mongo replicated cluster shards on each of them
• at Software level - that's SaaS : configure Linked
Data governance i.e. models and kinds of use :
- high write, non-robust data collection (home
energy consumption sensor notifications)
- read/query-heavy data analysis (aggregation per
energy consumer, provider, city, region, country)

11. Cloud Computing - The solution
• Luckily for our hobbit, there are well-
known standards, solutions and tools.

12. The solution The problem
• Oops… too many actually.

13. Cloud Computing – the problem

14. Cloud Computing – more
problems
And that's not like choosing one single provider for all
layers would solve the problem :
• even if there are a few PaaS+SaaS providers (G...,
C... F...),
• nowadays hybrid cloud is not a question anymore but
the rule (save for too critical or not at all critical stuff),
• (which brings the interesting question of multi Cloud
monitoring)
• and our hobbit still has to do the SaaS layer and the
whole LDaaS assembly himself.

15. From a single Cloud provider...

17. … to a noodle plate

18. Cloud Computing – down the
hobbit hole
But our hobbit just wants to be a Cloud consumer !
• he doesn't want to become a Cloud provider ! there
are already plentiful expert ones out there, he doesn't
want to deploy Cloud provider solutions, nor use the
specific expert tool required for each of them.
- He just wants to smoke a good pipe !
• He'd need his own tools, but he doesn't want to write
them.
=> Isn't there a Cloud consumer platform out there ?
Hello ?

19. A light of hope
• But in this fragmented landscape of layers,
APIs and implementations, each coming with
its own tools and paradigm,
•there is hope to be able to control them.
•to bind them and rule them all.
•(did I mix up the script here ?)

20. A light of hope
• One ring one Cloud API to rule them all.

21. Cloud Studio, with Docker

22. Custom Studio for LdaaS
(Linked Data as a Service)

23. Docker Studio
IaaS - Virtual Box machine

24. Docker Studio
IaaS - Open Stack machine

25. Docker Studio
… started !

26. Linked Data Studio
SaaS - Linked Data with
dedicated analytics entry point

27. Linked Data Studio
… using a specific mongodb
replica within its cluster !

31. OCCIware Factsheet
• 72 man year, 5,6m€ budget, sponsored by
French ministry of Industry over 2015-2018
• 3 academics, 5 companies, 2 associations
• To lower Cloud Computing adoption costs and
break up barriers between its various
implementations, layers, domains
- Especially Data Center, deployment, Big Data, Linked
Data
• By bringing to OGF's Open Cloud Computing
Interface (OCCI) the power of formal languages
and model driven engineering (MDE)

32. OCCIware Objective

Big Data as a Service (BDaaS)
Linked Data as a Service (LDaaS)
Platform as a Service (PaaS)
Container as a Service (CaaS)
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)

38. OCCI vs Ecore
● OCCI is a meta-meta model but we don't want to
reinvent the wheel :
1) Creation of your OCCI Extension conformed to
OCCI.ecore
2) Automatic generation of yourextension.ecore domain
model !!
3) Creation of your OCCI Configuration conformed to
yourextension.ecore

ones, integrate simulator, decision-making tool…
- Complete erocci-dbus-java bridge & HTTP bridge, so that
Studio-generated connectors can be deployed within the
Studio, on erocci or standalone indiscriminately
- Runtime : complete OCCIfication of ActiveEon ProActive
Multi-IaaS connector and Roboconf PaaS manager
- Develop specified OCCI monitoring solution and OCCI
