Little fun with cloud API comparison

on YouTube ↗05m

" summary

Comparison lists concrete API call counts and behaviors across providers: Amazon AWS requires about 42 requests for a 40–50–element infrastructure because several describe calls and per-region queries plus extra calls for images and elastic IPs. OpenStack/Rackspace needs roughly 30 requests including a token per session and extra per-resource lookups. Google Compute Engine minimizes calls with aggregated endpoints and field filters so it finishes in 6–8 queries, reducing followups and unexpected per-region round trips.
