  2. Intellectual Property Policy • I acknowledge that participation in GGF13 is subject to the GGF Intellectual Property Policy. • Intellectual Property Notices Note Well: All statements related to the activities of the GGF and addressed to the GGF are subject to all provisions of Section 17 of GFD-C.1 (.pdf), which grants to the GGF and its participants certain licenses and rights in such statements. Such statements include verbal statements in GGF meetings, as well as written and electronic communications made at any time or place, which are addressed to: the GGF plenary session, • any GGF working group or portion thereof, • the GFSG, or any member thereof on behalf of the GFSG, • the GFAC, or any member thereof on behalf of the GFAC, • any GGF mailing list, including any working group or research group list, or any other list functioning under GGF auspices, • the GFD Editor or the GWD process • Statements made outside of a GGF meeting, mailing list or other function, that are clearly not intended to be input to an GGF activity, group or function, are not subject to these provisions. • Excerpt from Section 17 of GFD-C.1 Where the GFSG knows of rights, or claimed rights, the GGF secretariat shall attempt to obtain from the claimant of such rights, a written assurance that upon approval by the GFSG of the relevant GGF document(s), any party will be able to obtain the right to implement, use and distribute the technology or works when implementing, using or distributing technology based upon the specific specification(s) under openly specified, reasonable, non-discriminatory terms. The working group or research group proposing the use of the technology with respect to which the proprietary rights are claimed may assist the GGF secretariat in this effort. The results of this procedure shall not affect advancement of document, except that the GFSG may defer approval where a delay may facilitate the obtaining of such assurances. The results will, however, be recorded by the GGF Secretariat, and made available. The GFSG may also direct that a summary of the results be included in any GFD published containing the specification.GGF Intellectual Property Policies are adapted from the IETF Intellectual Property Policies that support the Internet Standards Process.

  3. Overview • The Problem Space • Principles • The Grid Provisioning Appliance Concept • Use Cases and Scenarios • Questions Grid Provisioning Appliance Concept

  4. Problem Space • Installation and configuration complexities must not become an impediment to adoption of grid technologies • Grid containers answer the call for autonomy and automation, but what deploys the container? • How will large sets of un-configured or “bare metal” machines become a grid? • What standards can provide a foundation? Grid Provisioning Appliance Concept

  5. Principles • For more complete autonomic functionality, the installation of OS and grid container must be automated and born from the network. • Some entity or nucleus containing grid “DNA” must instruct hardware how to become a grid participant. • Generic enough to apply to any computing container solution. • Does not host any services/functions that can be run inside an existing grid container. • Must be able to deal with heterogeneous pools of hardware. • Primary responsibility is to create an operational grid container from an un-configured network device. Grid Provisioning Appliance Concept

  6. Grid Provisioning Appliance Concept (GPA-WG) • Provides the grid “DNA” or “seed” to create, duplicate, or graft a section of grid environment. It exists at development time. • Can be replicated or duplicated from an existing appliance. • Can integrate images/packages for OS, ACS repository, common jobs, Identity management services and data storage. • Facilities include: Identity Management UI, network boot strapping services, kernel and flash images, • Can prepare supported network enabled devices “out of the box” to become operational grid containers Grid Provisioning Appliance Concept

  12. Summary • Manual installation and configuration workloads for even small sets of machines can cripple business productivity. • Integrators need standards across vendors for automatic provisioning complex n-tier or grid solutions. • Candidate standards such Solution Installation and provisioning implementation efforts such as NaReGI and others provide foundation. • Encourage vendors of install products to participate in ACS-WG.
