Ioan - There is a Python Client that exists out there as well. I recently forked the Github repo, added some reworks to make it perform better and submitted it back to the original repo, but it hasn't been pulled in. At the very least, if you were interested you could look at it here: https://github.com/Ralnoc/cloudstack-python-client
I was recently using it to build a command line tool for creating large numbers of VMs at once and deleting lists of VMs to speed up the process. -- James ________________________________________ From: Ioan Eugen Stan [stan.ieu...@gmail.com] Sent: Friday, November 30, 2012 1:03 PM To: cloudstack-users@incubator.apache.org Cc: Andrei Savu Subject: Re: java API for CloudStack Hello Andrew, Thanks for the suggestion. Andrei Savu (we work together) also suggested I go with jclouds but I wanted to hear what the community has to say about this. We're building an app that can reliably provision 10's 100's of machines across cloud providers. Right now it's actually a contest, winner gets a present from the looser. I have to implement Cloudstack and he's got Amazon. Good luck with your talk tomorrow, maybe you could share the slides/presentation afterwords.
