September 28, 2007 |
Asianux has just completed the self-registration for Asianux 3.0 against CGL 3.2 and the results have been posted. Results are posted for both Asianux Server 3 for IA32 and Asianux Server 3 for X86_64.
The CGL v3.2 spec includes an 18-page overview document, along with seven PDF documents defining requirements for:
- Availability — Applies to the kernel, core libraries, and essential tools, with regard to single-system availability
- Serviceability — Defines tools and methods to manage, install, maintain, upgrade, and monitor
- Performance — Unique performance requirements of carrier-grade applications
- Clustering — Aimed at supporting clustered applications in a carrier-grade environment, as an effective way to achieve highly available services
- Standards — A reference for standards such as POSIX, IETF, and DMTF referred to in the CGL 3.2 functional requirements
- Hardware — Identifies important hardware building blocks, and the open source software needed to support it, as the industry migrates from proprietary platforms to COTS building blocks
- Security — Objectives and requirements aimed at analyzing and mitigating threats, and improving resiliency
It is also now possible for Linux vendors to register their products for compliance with Version 4.0 of the Carrier Grade Linux (CGL) Requirements Definition Documents. The primary changes incorporated into CGL 4.0 are alignment with the SCOPE Alliance’s Carrier Grade Profile, and tighter requirements around compliance.
