Darren, The integration we are working on will be closed source. The NetApp OpenStack integrations are GPL due to the nature of OpenStack. They may be simply doing xml/http request because that is the lowest level of communicating with our storage controllers. Our work uses an internal library that abstracts the xml/http work away (which transitively required the managontap library).
