Here it is :

· We need to make a financial model for selling a FIWARE based SaaS/PaaS but we do not have any pricing information for the FIWARE nodes (compute, memory, storage, bandwidth etc). Understand the software components (GEs) are open source and royalty free. But what about the Infrastructure services? For now we can make estimates on the IaaS production costs based on other providers (Amazon, IBM etc) but looking for direction here from FIWARE. When I met the London I3H project they didn't seem to know either.

FIWARE lab is today intended for test & development purpose only. You should not go in production with it. I am not aware of any detailed plan for a production grade fiware environment. However, the sustainability plan for the fiware community is now being refined: an announcement to support the GEs will be made early March at mwc Barcelone. We expect that commercial offers for the cloud hosting will follow, either from the community, either from individual organisations, or both, but nothing is set yet.

· Are there any commercial T+C planned for the FIWARE operations? Service level agreements in terms of system uptime, commercial liability, indemnification, patent infringement etc

Covered above I think

· FIWARE Lab - Update of Term and Conditions and new user policies. See my other note.

See first point: not yet intended for production

· Roadmap on Cosmos GE. We have had hard time to get responses from Telefonica and the responses we got didn't provide any roadmap. Can FICHe team help with an answer here? We are waiting now for 2 weeks for any update.

I am investigating this

· We need to set-up 4 nodes in the hadoop sense, meaning 4 linux instances each with a different public IP.

The availability of public IPs is indeed an issue currently and the new policy is expected to solve this. However, could this be made with 1 public + 3 private adresses ? (see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/25135183/hadoop-binding-multiple-ip-addresses-to-a-cluster-namenode)

Come back to me as needed

Got your SMS. Email is fine if we can get answers in next 1-2 days

Just to clarify terms as I think it might have been confusing in email

When I said node I mean a Linux server instance with a public IP address
(what we could call node in Hadoop/ZooKeeper cluster)

I didn't mean a node in the way FIWARE defines a geographic hub/data centre

Presently we can not bring up a 4 node cluster of our own through the FI
Lab as we need 4 public IP.
