Description
Federated sharing is the foundation of the open cloud mesh initiative. It was developed by Björn Schiessle and Frank Karlitschek starting 2013. This talk will cover the latest improvements in federated sharing and also the status of the API standardization effort in the OCM initiative. The goal is to have a common standard that works across vendors but also gives different products the opportunity to innovate. Other main topics of this talk will be the latest security and performance improvements as well as the protocol enhancements to support global user discovery and auto completion. This will be done by a new open source server component and a federated sharing protocol enhancement.
