[one-ecosystem] Contrail Virtual Execution Platform

[Piyush Harsh]

Dear All,

It gives me great pleasure to announce the availability of the first 
version of Contrail project's WP5 software called Virtual Execution 
Platform (VEP) to OpenNebula community.

VEP allows deployment of applications described in an OVF file over 
OpenNebula clouds (among many other things). VEP supports 2.2.1 as well 
as the latest 3.4.1 OpenNebula clouds.

We support standard OVFs without need for any non-standard extensions, 
the VM contextualization parameters and network elements have to be 
specified in the OVF in a specific manner which we will document in 
great details once the Contrail VEP community page is assigned for that 
purpose.

Name of the Component: Contrail VEP

URL of the Component (source):
http://websvn.ow2.org/listing.php?repname=contrail&path=%2Ftrunk%2Fprovider%2Fvep-gui%2F

Brief Description (30 words max): Allows deployment and management of 
OVF applications on OpenNebula clouds. Users can manage application 
submission through a simple yet functional web-interface.

Type (tool/extension/plugin): tool
License (proprietary/OSS): OSS (New BSD)
OpenNebula Version: 2.2.1 and 3.4.1
Author (person or organization developing the code): Piyush Harsh, INRIA
E-mail: piyush.harsh at inria.fr

A bit outdated VEP's admin guide is located here: 
http://contrail.projects.ow2.org/xwiki/bin/view/Documentation/VEP+Administration

We will soon update the Wiki with proper install and setup steps and 
will include OVF related sections to guide users on correct OVF 
composition for deployment on OpenNebula clouds. Expect changes to be 
finalized by next week.

Please consider this email as a request for allotment of a separate 
community wiki/page for Contrail VEP software.

Kind regards,
Piyush.
