Cloud services need to interoperate across cloud providers, service
vendors and private/public domains. To enable this interoperability,
there is need for a standard wire-format for exchanging service
information. This document describes a Service Orchestration Protocol
(SOP) to be used as a standard wire-format for cloud exchanges.
Similar to widely used protocols like HTTP, SIP and SMTP, SOP uses
text-based messages, which are easily extensible and may be inspected
at cloud proxies. While SOP carries service-independent information,
service-dependant information is attached as a Service Description
Framework [SDF] payload to SOP packets. This is similar to how HTML
is transported over HTTP. SDF is a XML schema for describing
services. SOP and SDF enable any kind of service to be discovered and
orchestrated across private and public domains. Simple protocol
compliance tests can be employed to ensure interoperability across
domains. SOP wire-formats can be used with existing cloud APIs. Using
these, it would be possible to interoperate diverse APIs and cloud
services across service providers, service vendors and service users.
