The Cloud Data Management Interface Reference Implementation

The Cloud Data Management Interface(CDMI) SNIA Architecture provides an interoperable and vendor-neutral control and data path management interface for both public and private clouds. The CDMI Reference Implementation provides a basis for vendors to test CDMI implementations for compliance and to test new CDMI clients. This session will provide an overview of the reference implementation including architecture elements, implementation design, code examples, and demonstration.

Learning Objectives

Understand key aspects of the CDMI architecture necessary to understand the reference implementation itself.
Learn RESTful principles and how RESTful open source components are leveraged to route RESTful HTTP operations to the CDMI object hierarchy of Containers, Data Objects, Capabilities, and Account Domains.
Learn how the CDMI object hierarchy maps to a simple file system.
Learn how the CDMI Reference Implementation is being leveraged to develop compliant interoperable cloud management clients.
