ORCA Status Report and RoadmapGEC8 Ilia Baldine
Current Status and known issues • Cluster-D adopted Bella 2.0 • Clearinghouse with Cluster-D broker stood up • Actor registry is operational • Communicated to GMOC with example client code • Better documentation for APIs, drivers, best practices, substrates • Issues • Canceling leases before they start • Container recovery not fully working
Upcoming release Bella 2.1 • IMPORTANT: From now on we require Java 1.6! • Removed last bits of COD • XMLRPC controller ported to new substrate API • Restructured network drivers (no more Node Agent) • Added support for Junipers • Refactored Cisco drivers • Updated NLR driver to new Sherpa API • Network QoS provisioning support across all devices • NDL passing between actors • Sites take NDL description of their topology • Site NDLs are published to the registry (full and abstracted) • Controllers can query brokers for site NDL • Improvements to NDL parsing code stability • New version of Jena • Structural changes to avoid races • New registry code • NS2->NDL conversion service (PG RSpec conversion in 2.2) • Web page and XMLRPC
Bella 2.2 release (expected Oct/Nov) • For sure: • Bug fixes, bug fixes, bug fixes • Source tree re-org • Single project with trunk/ branches/ tags/ instead of multiple ones • PG RSpec-> NDL converter • XMLRPC SM with full(er) RSPec support • Registry actor liveness confirmation • Better GUI to support multiply-connected topologies • Patches for Euca 1.[56].x to support multiple dataplane interfaces • Minor NDL extensions • Add support for port-to-port provisioning • Maybes: • Advance reservations • Limited portal Shib support • I2 ION support • MAX/Dragon substrate support (PL interoperability) • Rudimentary Euca image management • SSH proxy
