Use Case: Wrapping EC2 in OCCI

• Name: Wrapping EC2 in OCCI
• Contact: Richard Davies, ElasticHosts.
• Description: Amazon EC2 is the de-facto standard for IaaS today. While Amazon is unlikely to join the OCCI process at first, we must ensure that that the OCCI API would be capable of interfacing to EC2 so that gateways can be written and so that Amazon could join at a later date.
• Functional Requirements
  • Semantics: Must include the ability to fully describe core EC2 objects and operations
• Non-functional Requirements
  • Wishlist: I'd love to see an open source OCCI <-> EC2 gateway
