“…However, being specifically tailored for the cloud, it cannot be easily adapted to other scenarios. (Ciuffoletti, 2016) presented a novel approach, where a simple, cloud-independent API-based solution has been used to configure monitoring. Such cloud-agnosticism is realized through an OCCI (Open Cloud Computing Interface) extension, designed towards…”

Security assurance provides a wealth of techniques to demonstrate that a target system holds some nonfunctional properties and behaves as expected. These techniques have been recently applied to the cloud ecosystem, while encountering some critical issues that reduced their benefit when hybrid systems, mixing public and private infrastructures, are considered. In this paper, we present a new assurance framework that evaluates the trustworthiness of hybrid systems, from traditional private networks to public clouds. It implements an assurance process that relies on a Virtual Private Network (VPN)-based solution to smoothly integrate with the target systems. The assurance process provides a transparent and non-invasive solution that does not interfere with the working of the target system. The performance of the framework have been experimentally evaluated in a simulated scenario.

“…One of its distinguishing feature is the partitioning of the system into smaller subsystems, managed by specialized devices that control monitoring applications installed on cloud servers. The need to co-exist with legacy installations introduces a design issue that limits Nagios scalability: we recently proposed [2] the OCCI-Monitoring framework, that adheres to Nagios principles without inheriting its constraints.…”

The infrastructure that supports the IoT is a critical component and major ICT industries are ready to propose their solutions. This paper is an attempt to define an approach based on the principles of openness and expandability. Our proposal encompasses both the application level interface of the IoT infrastructure, which allows interaction with external applications, and the interface offered by the single components of the infrastructure, which allows interaction and coordination between the components. In both cases we adopt a REST approach using HTTP for communication. Our purpose is to contribute to the production of a standard for IoT infrastructures and components, to foster an open competition in a fast growing market.

“…Service analysis comparing Google Cloud, OpenStack, and OCCI Indeed, current OCCI 1.2 official specifications only cover 4 of the 11 services listed in Table 7: VM Managing, Storage, Networking, and Tagging. However, OCCI-based services were proposed for Container Managing [10] and Monitoring [3]. Image Managing, Scaling, Access Control, Data Processing and Machine Learning would be addressed in future as there are key services for building open standard cloud platforms.…”

Abstract. Cloud computing is currently the most popular model to offer and access computational resources and services. Many cloud providers use the REST architectural style (Representational State Transfer) for offering such computational resources. However, these cloud providers face challenges when designing and exposing REST APIs that are easy to handle by end-users and/or developers. Yet, they benefit from best practices to help them design understandable and reusable REST APIs. However, these best practices are scattered in the literature and they have not be studied systematically on real-world APIs. Consequently, we propose two contributions. In our first contribution, we survey the literature and compile a catalog of 73 best practices in the design of REST APIs making APIs more understandable and reusable. In our second contribution, we perform a study of three different and well-known REST APIs from three cloud providers to investigate how their APIs are offered and accessed. These cloud providers are Google Cloud Platform, OpenStack, and Open Cloud Computing Interface (OCCI). In particular, we evaluate the coverage of the features provided by the REST APIs of these cloud providers and their conformance with the best practices for REST APIs design. Our results show that Google Cloud follows 66% (48/73), OpenStack follows 62% (45/73), and OCCI 1.2 follows 56% (41/73) of the best practices. Second, although these numbers are not necessarily high, partly because of the strict and precise specification of best practices, we showed that cloud APIs reach an acceptable level of maturity.
