have a mid- to – includes OW2 middleware stack + OW2 architecture
(Fractal, Dream, Chameleon)
long-term Cloud • Development and composition environment
Computing
– OW2 Acceleo, Chameleon/Cilia mediation, Talend
strategy?
• Cloud testing and cloudified testing platform
– OW2 CLIF
• VM (appliance) building and management
– to be used for development, testing, pre-prod,
production
– embedded OW2 middleware in the VM
