OSGi Cloud Workshop
Date: Thursday, March 25, 2010
Location:EclipseCon/OSGi DevCon, Santa Clara, CA
OSGi provides a dynamic module loading and dependency management system that is well established as a standard for enterprise runtimes in traditional data centers. Cloud-based computing is an important trend in the IT industry. Enterprises are looking to benefit from the elastic computation and auto-scaling features that are promised in today’s cloud offerings. Does this then present an opportunity to combine the benefits of OSGi and Cloud computing to make it easier to deploy enterprise applications in the Cloud?
This workshop is being organized and hosted by the OSGi Alliance. The goal is to bring together experts in OSGi and Cloud computing to investigate how OSGi may evolve to address some of the issues for Cloud computing. It will operate as an open discussion to explore how OSGi can be extended and applied to the new challenges of cloud-based workloads. Suggested topic included, but not limited to:
- Bundle resolution and provisioning systems for horizontal scaling
- Simultaneous distributed workloads across multiple runtimes (elastic computation)
- Workload execution state redundancy for high availability (fault tolerance)
- Bundle security in multi-tenant environments
- OSGi service platform reporting to cloud fabric to inform/advise about operational control
- Configuration of bundles based on location and application lifecycle
- Access to data in a cloud infrastructure
This all-day workshop will be held March 25 at the EclipseCon/OSGi DevCon conference in Santa Clara CA. Participants are expected to be senior technical leaders with detailed knowledge of OSGi and/or Cloud computing. Participation is by invitation-only.
