1. The OpenCloudware
collaborative project
« Delivering a Cloud Platorm for Building, Maintaining and
Operating Enterprise PaaS Distributed Applications »

Cedric Thomas, OW2 CEO
OpenCloudware – Cloud Expo Europe, 25 January 2012

2. What is OpenCloudware?
 Co-funded Collaborative research 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 Infrastructure (Multi-IaaS)
 3 years (Jan 2012 – Dec 2014)
 Supported by the French FSN (Fonds National pour la Société Numérique
aka Grand Emprunt)
 Co-labeled by the Minalogic, Systematic and SCS Pôles de Compétitivité

OpenCloudware Software as a Service
OpenCloudware – Cloud Expo Europe, 25 January 2012

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

7. Technologies for OpenCloudware
 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
OpenCloudware – Cloud Expo Europe, 25 January 2012

8. 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)

10. Technological Advances
 End-to-end Modeling: Full stack from OS to applications and
configurations incl. SLA, PaaS services and IaaS services
 End-to-end Automation: Life cycle automation from Dev to Cloud to
Cloud orchestration
 Build vApps (OVF): 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 identified projects: ANR/FUI SelfXL, ANR MyCloud, ITEA EasiCloud, FP7 4Caast, FUI
CoolIT, FUI Energetic, FUI AGOS, ANR OMD2)
