28. Next steps
- Integration of the rOCCI client for OpenNebula
• It will be developed under the generic cloud-bursting4one
umbrella, in the southbound interface
• It should address the EGI security management based on
X.509 certifcate and proxy mechanism
- Setup of a execution testbed by registering Terradue's Hadoop
Sandboxes into the EGI appdb and launching them through the
OpenNebula controller, using OneFlow services
- Management of the EGI security at Platform level
●
It implies the management of the users proxy certifcates
(creation, renewal, deletion)
