DMTF Background• Distributed Management Task Force: Formed in 1992 with a focus on desktop management• Evolved from desktop management to web based enterprise management

• Evolving work includes• DMTF Management Initiatives, Protocols (Web Services), Profile Development, Schema

Evolution, Internal Interfaces, Operations, Messages, Registries, Federation & more.

1994: Desktop Management Interface (DMI)1996: Common Information Model (CIM)1997: Directory Enabled Networks (DEN)1998: Web Based Enterprise Management (WBEM)1999: System Management BIOS (SMBIOS)2001: Alerting Standards Format (ASF)

2005: Common Diagnostics Model (CDM) 2005: System Management Architecture for Server Hardware (SMASH)2006: Desktop and Mobile Architecture for System Hardware (DASH)2007: Platform Management Components Intercommunication (PMCI): NC-SI, MCTP, PLDM2008: Open Virtualization Format (OVF), Virtualization Management (VMAN) & WS-Management2009: Configuration Management Database Format (CMDBf)

2010: Cloud Initiative2011: Cloud Audit Data Format (CADF)2012: Cloud Infrastructure Management Interface (CIMI), Software Licensing Model (SLM), MRP, VPP 2013: Software Defined Data Center (SDDC), Network Management (NETMAN)2014: Redfish for Scalable Platform Management

DMTF Reorganization• DMTF has reorganized our structure and processes

– Now only two committees:• Technical – handles standards, incubators and forums• Executive – handles operations, process, marketing, alliances, chapters

• Quickest path to standard in the industry– Works in progress out in 7 to 10 days– Standards published in 32-45 days (due to 30 day IP review)

• Ability to publish and work with open source– Bodies can work in open source on published standards

• Sample implementations and test code.– Bodies can work on code privately as well

• Benefits: Agile standards development, simultaneous development of code & standard, path to ISO standard

Cloud Management Work Group• Cloud Infrastructure Management Interface Model and RESTful

HTTP-based Protocol (CIMI) DSP0263– Version 1 approved at ISO – Version 2 in development

• Version 2 Work Items– Collections architecture– Common network model

• Work with NSM and OVF Work Groups • Input from NFV folks • Input from OpenStack

– Version 2.1 Work Items• Use cases presented in “Cloud Infrastructure Management Interface Use Cases

for CIMI 2Informational” DSP2042

• Both DSP0263 v2 and DSP2042 available as work in progress

6/5/2015 9

CIMI v2 Use Cases– Business Continuity/Disaster Recovery

Use Cases• Realizing Business Continuity on a

Machine• Realizing Disaster Recovery on a

Machine– Service Level Objective Management

6/5/2015 14

DMTF Software Entitlement Model

OSDDC Incubator – Deliverables• Use Cases

– Data Center Administrator View– Data Center User View

• Taxonomy and Terminology– What is part of a Data Center (Power & Cooling? Apps and Middleware?)– Define components: Software Defined Storage, Software Defined Networking

• High-level Architecture– Where does the automation happen?– What part of the automation itself is standardized (i.e. Policy)

• Standards Gap Analysis– What is the role of existing standards?– DMTF standards: CIM, CIMI, OVF, SMASH, SPMF, WBEM, etc. ?– Other standards: CAMP, CDMI, ETSI/NFV, ODCA, TOSCA, etc. ?

• White Paper– SDDC Definition – DSP-IS0501 V1.0.1c

SDDC – The Big Picture

6/5/2015 16

Two other efforts• NetMan

– Network management– Focus on switches,

routers and network services

– Working closely with OVF & CIMI to align network services management with cloud services

• Redfish– RESTful interface for

managing infrastructure with JSON payload

– Focus is to meet the modern tool set

– Initial Focus is on Server Infrastructure

– Open source focus

How to Work with the DMTF• Join the DMTF

• Scope of the DMTF is clear: it’s all about management• Drive specifications through TC, conformance through the Interoperability Committee, messaging through the

Marketing Committee and ground breaking areas through Incubators and International partnerships through Alliance and Regional Chapters

• Members• Active participation brings about standards based on best practices • Drive standards through participation• Work on sample implementations, test code & libraries & collaborate with open source. • Consider bringing work into the DMTF

• Partners• DMTF Originated Work

• Feedback from the DMTF• DSP Acquisition• Work In Progress Release capability

• Feedback into the DMTF• Alliance Liaison• Joint Member (companies that are members of both organizations).• The DMTF Technology Adoption Policy• The DMTF Feedback Portal

• Alliance Partner Originated Work• Similar mechanisms would speed things along if you wish DMTF input
