In theory, OVF is the 'answer' for Virtual Machines -- but its failure has been in adoption -- if you can't get Amazon and OpenStack to adopt it, what's the point?
Before Rocket/ACI there wasn't even a contender for Containers. Now there is a published spec. Start there. Iterate.
- losnggenration 12y agoI don't disagree, but OVF is an ANSI[1] & ISO[2] standard. Like you said, Amazon & OpenStack have chosen not to adopt it.
