On demand provisioning of network resources.Recursive delegation of access right over managed resources.Lightweight Abstracted operational model.

Decoupled from actual vendor-specific details.Flexible enough to accomodate different designs and orientationsFixed enough so common tools can be build and reused across plugins.– Security– Lifecycle– Monitoring– Deployment and upgrade.

   Service integration Test Case

Mantychore/GSN use case“As a GSN administrator, I want to provision a tunnel between my cloud and a remote cloud for VM migration”

Draft API and messagingclass Universe {    Cloud myCloud    Vector<Clouds> remoteClouds}

class Cloud {    String id;    String gatewayIP;    String location;    Vector<String> hostIPs;}

pubic String tunnelUp(String cloudId, String targetHostIP) throws SomeException {

    Cloud cloud = remoteClouds.getCloud(cloudId);    String targetGatewayIP = cloud.getGateway(hostIP);

    String connectionID = mantychoreWrapper.setupConnection(myCloud.getSourceGatewayIP(), targetGatewayIP)     return connectionID.}

public void tunnelDown(String connectionId) throws SomeException {    mantycoreWrapper.teardownConnection(connectionId);}
