Ignacio M. Llorente and I presented the Cloud Technologies Chapter status and objectives at the II Morfeo General Assembly on 26 March 2009. At this session, Cloud Technologies were presented as key for Future Internet of Services.
There is the opportunity on creating an European Interest Group on Cloud starting with an high-qualified Spanish seed: the chapter founders (DSA-Research Group from UCM and Telefónica I+D), and other organizations that have shown interest in becoming members (BSC, CESGA, Atos Origin, Catón, EyeOS and Xeridia). Everyone with expertise in service and infrastructure management, and sharing our common view of creating an Open Source Cloud Platform, is invited to collaborate within the chapter.
Therefore, Cloud Technologies Chapter objectives are:
- To create an Open Source Cloud Platform integrating existing and new components following a common cloud architecture view
- To promote the creation of R&D&i project proposals aligned with the Chapter’s Architecture view
- To lead the creation of an European Cloud Open Alliance to integrate an Open Source Reference Implementation of a cloud platform for Future Internet of Services
- Aligned with NEXOF-RA (NESSI Service Open Framework-Reference Architecture)
- Integrating FP7 and other R&D programs’ results
The current status of the chapter is:
- Chapter and Blog created at the MORFEO website. This project is partially funded by EU at 7th FP Project RESERVOIR.
- First Project created: Open Nebula (UCM), local cloud infrastructures manager.
- Second Project creation in progress: Nephele (TID), Service Manager that controls service deployment and provisioning among a Cloud Infrastructure. This project is partially funded by EU at 7th FP Project RESERVOIR.
- First Project proposal: Nuba, a federated Cloud platform to allow the enterprise services deployment. This project proposal has just been submitted to the “Avanza I+D” Spanish Industry Ministry R&D program.
Here is the Cloud Technologies Chapter presentation.

In fact, Telefonica is one of the signers of the Manifesto. We are preparing a post about it with the person that participated in the Manifesto initiative (Juan José Hierro).
