INTRODUCTION The CEF Context Broker enables organizations (including but not limited to public administrations) to manage and share data in real-time describing “what is currently happening” within their organizations or in the real world they manage or where they run their daily business processes. The CEF Context Broker provides the FIWARE NGSI API, which is a RESTful API enabling applications to provide updates and get access to context information. More concretely: ● Update context information, e.g. send updates on air quality data for a given district of the city, weather forecast for a given region or the administrative record created for handling a request issued by a given citizen ● Query context information. The Context Broker stores context information updated from applications, so queries are resolved based on that information. ● Being notified when changes on context information take place (e.g. the air quality in a given street has changed) or with a given frequency (e.g. get measures of the traffic in a street each minute) ● Register context provider systems which can be queried by the Context Broker to get the latest status of context, e.g. a system provided by the national meteorology agency which provides updated weather forecasts upon request. In this context the CEF Context Broker Conformance Testing service is offered to developers intending to develop their own implementation of Context Broker based on the FIWARE NGSI API specifications base of the current CEF Context Broker technologies and verify it is conformant to CEF Context Broker specifications. This document describes the Conformance Testing service provided as part of the Context Broker building block service offering. It introduces the purpose of the service, its users, its scope, its benefits, the concerned role and responsibilities as well as the overall process. Note that CEF Context Broker offers two different kind of testing services: ● Conformance Testing service: https://ec.europa.eu/cefdigital/wiki/display/CEFDIGITAL/Conformance+testing The goal of the CEF Context Broker Conformance Testing service is to verify that an implementation of the CEF Context Broker specifications, being a software package either commercial or Open Source, conforms to the FIWARE NGSI v2 specifications. ● Connectivity Testing service: https://ec.europa.eu/cefdigital/wiki/display/CEFDIGITAL/Connectivity+testing CEF Context Broker Conformance Testing - SOD - v1.0 page. 6 The goal of the CEF Context Broker Connectivity Testing service is to test if a newly deployed instance of the Context Broker, conformant with the FIWARE NGSI v2 specifications, can respond to sample requests. If successful, such a test confirms that the relevant component is in all likelihood correctly deployed and configured. This document only describes the Conformance Testing service. Please note that since the CEF Context Broker is composed by two different software components, namely Orion Context Broker and Cygnus, this document provides two separate sections for executing the conformance testing of the two components: these are section 4 for what concerns Orion and section 5 for what concerns Cygnus. 2.1 Purpose of the service The goal of the CEF Context Broker Conformance Testing service is to verify that an implementation of the CEF Context Broker specifications, a software package either commercial or Open Source, conforms to the FIWARE NGSI v2 specifications. The service is based on a set of ready to use test cases, guidelines on how to build a dedicated testing platform. The FIWARE NGSI v2 specifications are translated in test assertions (a measurable statement for evaluating the conformance of an implementation). These test assertions are the main unit for testing and reporting the conformance of an implementation. Based on the test assertions a set of test cases are derived which are implemented for the test platform in the form of executable test scripts. The result of the test execution is documented in a test report. In the positive case that the test report shows that all mandatory test cases have been passed, the software implementation becomes conformant. An implementation of the CEF Context Broker is marked FIWARE NGSI v2 Conformant if and only if all mandatory test cases have been successfully completed. This document describes the ready to use test cases and provides step-by-step guidelines through which build a dedicates test platform. The CEF Context Broker team supports, on demand, the users of the CEF Context Broker Conformance Testing service during the whole testing process from test planning, trough testing environment building, till test execution. A list of key terminology related to the CEF Context Broker Conformance Testing service is provided in the ​ table below. Terminology Definition CEF Context Broker Conformance Testing - SOD - v1.0 page. 7 [Terminology] [definition] [Terminology] [definition] Table 1 - CEF Context Conformance Testing Key Terminology ​ 2.2 Users The CEF Context Broker Conformance Testing service is intended for the following type of users: ● Software providers, aka Developers (Build) - to confirm that their software ​ product is conformant to the FIWARE NGSI v2 specifications. ● Service Providers, aka Developers (Adopt) - to confirm that their deployment of ​ the CEF Context Broker sample software or one of its stand-alone services is conformant to the FIWARE NGSI v2 specifications. 2.3 Scope The scope of Conformance services provided by the CEF Context Broker Support team is as follows: ● to test own implementations of FIWARE NGSI v2 specifications by Software Providers who do not aim at using the Sample Software provided by the CEF Context Broker team with unique aim at verifying the new implementations are conformant with FIWARE NGSI v2 specifications. The specifications are available at the following link: http://telefonicaid.github.io/fiware-orion/api/v2/stable/ ● to verify that a newly deployment made by a Service Provider of the Sample Software provided by the CEF Context Broker Team performs according the FIWARE NGSI v2 specifications. The CEF Context Broker Conformance Testing service is not intended for: ​ ​ ● superseding professional functional and non-functional test procedures on own implementation of the CEF Context Broker which are solely responsibility of the concerned Software Provider. CEF Context Broker Conformance Testing - SOD - v1.0 page. 8 2.4 Benefits The CEF Context Broker Conformance Testing service has been designed to generate a list of benefits to the users of the service: ● Confirm and assure your users/customers that your software package or implementation of the CEF Context Broker is conformant to the FIWARE NGSI v2 specifications ● Testing supported by professional staff of the European Commission ● Quick testing cycle with reduced cost and time ● Testing anywhere at anytime ● Tests are domain independent ● Ready to use test cases ● Easy set-up of testing platform ● Automatic test report generation. 3.

  • Openstack Designate
    OpenStack Designate Stephan Lagerholm Graham Hayes What is OpenStack? OpenStack is a free open standard cloud computing platform, mostly deployed as infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) in both public and private clouds where virtual servers and other resources are made available to users. The software platform consists of interrelated components that control diverse, multi-vendor hardware pools of processing, storage, and networking resources throughout a data center. Users either manage it through a web-based dashboard, through command-line tools, or through RESTful web services. OpenStack began in 2010 as a joint project of Rackspace Hosting and NASA. As of 2012, it was managed by the OpenStack Foundation (Source: Wikipedia) 2 Designate • Designate started as a project to maintain DNS infrastructure for OpenStack Users. It was an ecosystem project that was in production at both HP’s and Rackspace’s clouds. During 2015, Designate was moved into OpenStack Foundation and in 2017 it became a registered trademark. • Designate is providing API, CLI and a Graphical User interface so that OpenStack Users can setup and make changes to DNS data. The zones are thereafter exposed to secondary DNS servers via Zone Transfers. • Officially Bind 9.X and PowerDNS 4.X is supported although other DNS servers are known to work too.

  • A Comparative Study of Current Open-Source Infrastructure As a Service Frameworks
    A Comparative Study of Current Open-source Infrastructure as a Service Frameworks Theo Lynn, Graham Hunt, David Corcoran, John Morrison and Philip Healy Irish Centre for Cloud Computing, Dublin 9, Ireland Keywords: Cloud Computing, Open Source, IaaS, Openstack, Cloudstack, Opennebula, Eucalyptus. Abstract: With the growth of cloud computing in recent years, several commercial and open source IaaS frameworks have emerged. The development of open source IaaS solutions offers a free and flexible alternative to commercial cloud services. The main contribution of this paper is to provide a qualitative comparative of current open-source IaaS frameworks. Existing research papers examining open source IaaS frameworks have focused on comparing OpenStack with a small number of alternatives. However, current research fails to adequately compare all major open source frameworks in a single study and notably lacks the inclusion of CloudStack. Our research paper provides the first overview of the five main open source cloud IaaS frameworks – OpenStack, CloudStack, OpenNebula, Eucalyptus and Nimbus. As such, this review provides researchers and potential users with an up to date and comprehensive overview of the features of each solution and allows for an easy comparison between the open source solutions. 1 INTRODUCTION the freedom to modify the source code and build a cloud that is pluggable and open to extensions while Cloud Computing technologies have seen significant reducing costs and avoiding vendor lock-in (Zhang adoption in recent years by enterprises, researchers et al., 2013; Wen et al. 2012; Bist et al., 2013).

Despite its popularity, OpenStack still has drawbacks in terms of scalability of number of compute nodes (metal machines) in a single cloud instance. More precisely, a single standard OpenStack cloud instance does not scale well and fails to handle user request once its number of compute nodes reaches a particular amount.
