I've written about what
SNIA and
DMTF are doing in the area of Cloud Standards and Sun's
participation, but there are many other efforts out there and new ones starting up seemingly weekly. How do we keep track of them all, make sure there are no overlaps or even gaps between them?
I have been the chair of a group coordinating management standards, called
SCRM, for some time now. We came up with a
Landscape of these management standards and a
wiki for keeping track of them. It seemed only natural that we expand our focus of this group into cloud standards as well since many of the same organizations were moving in that direction.
In a
press release, announcing the formation of the new group, several SDOs announced their intention to coordinate their work through this new group. The group is open to all and has a representative from each group, responsible for editing their SDO's entry. The wiki is available here:
