What is FIWARE?
• A scalable open source platform
to access and manage heterogeneous
context information through open APIs
• A standard for exchange of context
information:
NGSI (Next Generation Service
Interface, under elaboration at ETSI)
• Generic Enablers and Solutions to
provide Smart Services
20 Jul 2017 - Tokyo

9. FIWARE: de-facto standard for Context Management Information
 The OMA NGSI-9/10 API is a simple yet powerful public, royalty-free standard API for
managing Context information
 The FIWARE NGSI API is the Restful binding of OMA NGSI and uses JSON: any
web/backend programmer gets quickly used to it
 FIWARE NGSI supports geo-queries, soon Linked Data (JSON-LD)

Deploying FIWARE components on FIWARE Lab: Glance Images
 Images are provided to deploy New GE Instances.
• Enhanced security in FIWARE Lab images
□ Default restrictions in SSH Configuration
□ IP tables inside the Vms in addition to Security Groups
• Deploying a new Enabler basically is deploying a new VM
 GLANCE Sync
• Tool to Synchronize the images of the different nodes in FIWARE Lab.
• It can also be used to Synchronize other non Federated Openstacks
• The Synchronization is based upon the Metadata information in the Images.
• https://github.com/telefonicaid/fiware-glancesync

Support for Docker Integration
 Integration of FIWARE Lab + Docker is supported using:
• Docker Machine (using the OpenStack Driver)
• Rancher (FIWARE Lab driver for Rancher available)
 New enablers can be deployed using Docker
• We encourage GE Owners to write their own Dockerfiles so the Ges can
easily be deployed.
• This can be an alternative way to deploy new GEs, instead of deploying
new Images.
□ One Image will be able contain several Dockerized GEs.
□ Used resources can be optimized this way.
