StratusLab Service Manager
--------------------------

1.- Introduction to the Claudia (Service Manager)

The Claudia Platform [23] is an advanced Service Management toolkit
that allows Service Providers to dynamically control the Service
provisioning and scalability in an IaaS Cloud. Claudia manages
services as a whole, controlling the configuration of multi VM
components, virtual networks and storage support by optimizing the
usage of them by dynamically scaling up/down services applying
elasticity rules, SLA and business rules.

2.- Claudia software in StratusLab tools (git, hudson)
-- 3 sprints for a Claudia consistant version (packages generated in
   hudson) to be realised

3.- installation of Claudia in StratusLab testbed
-- Due to security issues, Claudia (the VMI, SMI and the main
   component in Claudia) will be installed in the same machine
-- Claudia to be installed in the same machine as opennebula.


4.- Applications for testing Claudia
-- SGE, Torque and glite services
-- WP5 is in charge of providing the glite services virtual machines
   for testing

5.- Integration of Claudia with others StratusLab components
-- e.g. Quattor. There is not a need for integrating Claudia with
   Quattor. Quattor will be in charge of installing Claudia.
-- Monitoring systems: It is not clear yet. To be discussed.
