From SFA to TOSCA Sample Clauses

From SFA to TOSCA based experimentation as a service The Slice-based Federation Architecture (SFA) 2.0 high level interface specification [1] draft was published in July 2010, before the advent and consolidation of current successful technologies such as Network Function Virtualization and Software Defined Networking. As defined in the draft, a “resource (RSpec) describes a component in terms of the resources it possesses and constraints and dependencies on the allocation of those resources” and the lifecycle is defined elsewhere. In previous projects, i.e. FED4FIRE, the resource definition was done in different steps: the RSpec defined the actual resource to be used and the physical location of it while the “automated” execution of the experiment is defined through an OEDL script, executed via OMF. This example shows that the concept of lifecycle of the experiment has gained a more complex definition. Nowadays, the genre of resources could widely vary from each other. SFA was designed for mainly provisioning compute resources (physical or virtual) to the experimenter. The experimenter was then in charge of handling the lifecycle of the actual experiment, via SSH or in some cases, via OEDL script, if the platform was providing OMF support. SoftFIRE, aware of the lessons learned from the past, adapted its approach to the new technical requirements coming from the new generation of experimenters, maintaining implemented the FIRE functional requirements that are the concrete definition of a FIRE based project. The recent evolution in the technology state of the art brought the Experimenters to include in their experiments and to require from the used platform some key NFV/SDN functionalities. The SoftFIRE platform has the intend to meet these requirements, while keeping on provisioning the FIRE required features. The OASIS industry group defined in November 2013 a standard called Topology and Orchestration Specification for Cloud Applications (TOSCA) that aims to provide an efficient and precise tool able to model the cloud applications and associated IT services having a particular focus on telecom operators’ requirements. This industry related standard is suitable for modeling NFV and SDN applications (described in addition in the TOSCA Simple Profile for Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) Version 1.0 specification draft) and it has been chosen by the SoftFIRE consortium to be the reference modelling language for defining Experiments (Topology Template) as a set of diffe...

  • How Much May I Contribute to a Xxxx XXX As a result of the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act (“EGTRRA”) of 2001, the maximum dollar amount of annual contributions you may make to a Xxxx XXX is $5,500 for tax years beginning in 2013 with the potential for Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA) increases in $500 increments. However, these amounts are phased out or eliminated entirely if your adjusted gross income is over a certain level, as explained in more detail below. Year 2020 2021 Xxxx XXX Contribution Limit $6,000 $6,000 You may make annual contributions to a Xxxx XXX in any amount up to 100% of your compensation for the year or the maximum contribution limits shown in the table above, whichever is less. The limitation is reduced by any contributions made by you or on your behalf to any other individual retirement plan (such as a Traditional IRA) except SEP IRAs and SIMPLE IRAs. Your annual contribution limitation is not reduced by contributions you make to a Xxxxxxxxx Education Savings Account that covers someone other than yourself. In addition, qualifying rollover contributions and transfers are not subject to these limitations. If you are age 50 or older by the end of the year, you may make additional “catch-up” contributions to a Xxxx XXX. The “catch-up” contribution limit is $1,000 for tax years 2009 and beyond. If you are married and file a joint return, you may make contributions to your spouse’s Xxxx XXX. However, the maximum amount contributed to both your own and to your spouse’s Xxxx XXX may not exceed 100% of your combined compensation or the maximum contribution shown in the table above, whichever is less. The maximum amount that may be contributed to either your Xxxx XXX or your spouse’s Xxxx XXX is shown in the table above. Again, these dollar limits are reduced by any contributions made by or on behalf of you or your spouse to any other individual retirement plan (such as a Traditional IRA) except SEP IRAs and SIMPLE IRAs. Again, the limit is not reduced for contributions either of you make to a Xxxxxxxxx Education Savings Account for someone other than yourselves. As noted in Item 1, your eligibility to contribute to a Xxxx XXX depends on your AGI (as defined below). The amount that you may contribute to a Xxxx XXX is reduced proportionately for AGI which exceeds the applicable dollar amount. For the 2020 and 2021 tax years, the amount that you may contribute to your Xxxx XXX is as follows: Single Individual Year Eligible to Make a Contribution if AGI is Less Than: Eligible to Make a Partial Contribution if AGI is Between: Not Eligible to Make A Contribution if AGI is Over: 2020 $124,000 $124,000 - $139,000 $139,000 2021 & After - sub- ject to COLA increases $125,000 $125,000 - $140,000 $140,000 Married Individual Filing a Joint Income Tax Return Year Eligible to Make a Contribution if AGI is Less Than: Eligible to Make a Partial Contribution if AGI is Between: Not Eligible to Make A Contribution if AGI is Over: 2020 $196,000 $196,000 - $206,000 $206,000 2021 & After - sub- ject to COLA increases $198,000 $198,000 - $208,000 $208,000 If you are a married taxpayer filing separately, your contribution phases out over the first $10,000 of AGI, so that if your AGI is $10,000 or more you may not contribute to a Xxxx XXX for the year. Note that the amount you may contribute to a Xxxx XXX is not affected by your participation in an employer-sponsored retirement plan. To determine the amount you may contribute to a Xxxx XXX (assuming it does not exceed 100% of your compensation), you can refer to IRS Publication 590-A: Modified Adjusted Gross Income for Xxxx XXX Purposes and Determining Your Reduced Xxxx XXX Contribution Limit. The amount you contribute may not exceed the maximum contribution limits shown in the table above reduced by the amount contributed on your behalf to all other individual retirement accounts (except SEP IRAs and SIMPLE IRAs). Your contribution to a Xxxx XXX is not reduced by any amount you contribute to a Xxxxxxxxx Education Savings Account for the benefit of someone other than yourself. If you are the beneficiary of a Xxxxxxxxx Education Savings Account, additional limits may apply to you. Please contact your tax advisor for more information.
