Japanese Cloud Service Provider
We created a lab to verify the OCP Output based on the Japanese service provider’s request.
The implementation of the service provider’s request included a 'Proof of Concept’ with OCP
output.
OCP-J Lab recommendation for Japanese users will create an expanding awareness of OCP
activitiesExpected Role of OCP-Japan Lab•OCP-Japan Lab•OCP certification~certified under OCP standard•OCP-Japan recommendation~local spec, software layer,
