The Cloud Infrastructure Management Interface (CIMI) work-in-progress specifications are now available for public review and comment at www.dmtf.org/cloud. All DMTF members are encouraged to review the specifications and provide feedback through the DMTF Feedback Portal at http://www.dmtf.org/standards/feedback.

The CIMI specifications are part of DMTF’s overall cloud efforts focused on standardizing interactions between cloud environments by developing specifications that help to achieve interoperable cloud management between service providers and their consumers and developers. These are the first specifications produced by DMTF’s Cloud Management Work Group (CMWG).

Stay tuned for additional announcements from other DMTF cloud-related groups, including the Cloud Auditing Data Federation (CADF) Work Group.
