A recommendation for version 1.1 of the Open Cloud Computing Interface (OCCI) was recently released by the Open Grid Forum (OGF) (see OGF183 and OGF184). To add OCCI 1.1 support for OpenNebula, we created the Ecosystem project “OCCI for OpenNebula”. The goal of the project is to develop a complete, robust and interoperable implementation of OCCI 1.1 for OpenNebula.

Although the project is still in an early stage, today we released a first version that supports creating and deleting Virtual Networks, Images and Machines. Information on installation and configuration of the OCCI 1.1 extension can be found in the Wiki of the project.
