CIMI (Cloud Infrastructure Management Interface)

The Cloud Infrastructure Management Interface is a standard released by DMTF (Distributed Management Task Force). Similarly to OCCI (Open Cloud Computing Interface), it also consists of multiple specifications:

  • CIMI Primer (DSP2027) v. 1.0.0
  • CIMI (DSP0263) v. 1.1.0
  • CIMI-CIM (DSP0264) v. 1.0.0

CIMI is a highly specific IaaS protocol, defining a wide range of attributes applicable in the context of IaaS. This is what mainly distinguishes it from OCCI (Open Cloud Computing Interface), which is a much more light-weight, generic boundary-level protocol, relying on its extensibility to cover specific areas.
