OVF manager with abiCloud
This post is not to explain the benefits of OVF standard in the cloud world. A little summary, for us the most important features:
- Allows the easy portability of virtual Appliance between datacenters.
- Supports both single and multi virtual machine configurations.
- It’s independent of the virtualization technology.
- OVF is extensible.
OVF is being and/or will be adopted by the most important players in the cloud market.
AbiCloud is designed to work with the OVF standard (nowadays with OVF 1.0 specifications).
abiCloud 0.7.0 release have the first version of OVF manager, a java library that would be able to be used in other projects. The main benefits are:
- 1.0 specifications compliance
- complexity abstraction for developers.
- Easy OVF updating process in your code.
This first revision will contain the basic OVF specifications and will be an important section in our community for developers or other projects interested in collaborating with the library improvements.
Moreover, we are working in other cloud components that work with OVF in order to improve the interoperability between clouds … information is coming soon :)
And remember, for questions or doubts, you know how to contact us ;)

A day in the Mountain
Abiquo Team enjoyed this last weekend in the mountain.

On Saturday morning, it was time to release some adrenaline through some jumping and climbing.
Maybe, it’s better to see some examples:
