Open Standards Development

Cloud Application Management for Platforms (CAMP)

CAMP is an open web services standard under development as an API for managing public and private cloud applications. In 2012 JumpSoft co-proposed CAMP through the Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards (OASIS).[3]

CAMP leveraged similarities between commercial and open-source PaaS products to attempt a simple API that is language-, framework-, and platform-agnostic as an alternative to closed APIs from cloud services vendors. Using CAMP, companies can migrate their cloud applications from one PaaS vendor to another by mapping the requirements of applications to the specific capabilities of the underlying platform.[4]

Joab Jackson of IDG News Service said "CAMP is the first attempt, as far as the development team knows, to standardize PaaS control commands. Although the use of PaaS services has grown dramatically in the past few years, through services like Amazon's Elastic Cloud Compute (EC2) and Microsoft Azure, each vendor offers its own console to users, making the migration of workloads from one service to the next difficult."[5]

The other organizations that proposed CAMP include Oracle, Redhat, Software AG and the US Department of Defense.[3]

Web Services Interoperability (WS-I)

JumpSoft is a sponsor member for the OASIS Web Services Interoperability (WS-I) technical committee.[2]
