Managing the cloud with libcloud
summary
A Python library that normalizes disparate cloud APIs into three concrete APIs: compute, storage and load balancer, with drivers for 25+ providers including Amazon, Rackspace and OpenStack. Claims: a single create call plus SSH bootstrapping and key injection to provision servers (create+bootstrap via SSH), extension methods for provider-specific features like Amazon elastic IPs, token/HMAC/cert auth handling, and streaming uploads that enable direct streamed uploads for 50 GB backups. Project is Apache-approved, uses recorded API responses for tests and plans more storage, CDN and live tests.
