A Web Service for Cloud Metadata
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Descriptive information about available cloud services (i.e., metadata) is required in order to make good decisions about which cloud service provider(s) to utilize when deploying an application topology to the cloud. Presently, there are no uniform mechanisms for describing these services. Further, there is no unifying process that aggregates this metadata from the set of cloud providers and makes it available to a user in a programmatic fashion from a single location. This paper presents a methodology for and an implementation of a service-oriented application that provides relevant metadata information describing offered cloud services via a uniform RESTful web service. The data provided by this service is automatically acquired and mapped to a standard ontology. Community members can submit performance benchmarks using a metrics agent that submits metrics via a web service. Several example applications using this API to help users select resources are presented.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
