Hi Linda,
Interesting insight!

>From my personal view, with the fast development of cloud technologies and markets, the cloud federation and cloud interconnection issues are becoming more and more important and urgent. The corresponding network technologies involve VPN connections, Data Center interconnection, federation among multiple SPs, etc.

One key issue of them is about the information exchange between different DC or SP to support their federation. The information can be related to locations, capabilities, logging, authentication, etc.

And by my understanding, CDNi architecture and its interfaces are very useful for the above information exchange requirements. But these issues seems to be not in the CDNI WG charter now.
