OpenStack, Our team is currently seeking partners who share an interest and enthusiasm for exploring the possibility of Content Delivery Network (CDN) capabilities within the open ecosystem. Our desire is to create a unified and open API that leverages existing CDN providers in an open source-friendly way.
Today, there are a large number of CDN providers who offer similar CDN capabilities with widely-differing APIs. Applications built around these current CDN offerings are usually locked into that vendor. Changing a CDN provider typically requires significant software and operational changes on the part of the application developer. We would like to start a dialog with other organizations and individuals in the community that would like to work together to solve this common problem. We would like to identify the community needs and flesh out the features of an open CDN API that supports multiple CDN providers. Together, we can build an offering that helps remove vendor lock in to existing CDN providers. When the time is right, this team of interested parties can determine where this project should live (e.g. OpenStack), or find the ecosystem that makes the most sense. We are looking for contributors from the community. Please contact me directly for an initial conversation on your needs and interest. I will then set up a community brainstorming session on IRC and we can also discuss it at the Atlanta OpenStack Summit. Thanks, Amit Gandhi Rackspace Atlanta _______________________________________________ OpenStack-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
