Hello again,
OK one final question-- basically does a client (either using API or using a
client library)- have to provide the correct SSL Certificate to the
Deltacloud server? Is that the means of authentication?
And where can I find docs on the PHP and Java client libraries? I saw docs
on the Ruby client library online.
One more thing- I would like to (in future) contribute to DeltaCloud- in
that case, can I simply sign and send the Apache License Contributors
Agreement and send it? Or are some other formalities/processes also to be
followed?
Yours sincerely,
Arvind,

Hello again,
Is it possible to deploy DeltaCloud as a regular Ruby Web App? Which can
be accessed over a single domain name? (Just like a regular web app is)
Yes of course.
What kind of changes will I have to make to DeltaCloud to convert it from
the current API server--> API Web App? Will using frameworks like
Sinatra/Padrino/Rubyon Rails help?
Deltacloud itself rely on Sinatra, so you can treat as any other web
application.

Hello again
OK, the cloud credentials are needed- but how do I prevent abuse of the
server running Delta Cloud itself? (for eg meaningless calls to the
deltacloud server which have random values for cloud credentials-- these
will still cause the server to do some processing, right-- how do I
prevent
this? Or do you mean that whenever a client library invokes delta cloud-->
it has to furnish an SSL certificate? So that only authorised requests are
actually processed by the Delta Cloud Server?
I found out about Delta Cloud as I was looking for a cross cloud
provisioning library-- and Delta Cloud fits the bill because it can be
accessed from multiple languages.
Yours sincerely,
Arvind,

Hello again Francesco,
Thanks for the prompt reply-- so DeltaCloud is not a regular 'web-app'
which is accessed by going to a specific domain name?
Well, it's a ruby Rest API so, you can bind to a specific domain, also
you can put behind apache mod_proxy or nginx as you wish.
In that case, does it have any authentication/security built in? So that
no one can abuse the server running Delta Cloud?
Yes. To keep things secure, deltacloud support ssl encryption and for
the credentials, you don't have to worry because without the credentials
for your cloud providers nobody can abuse of your cloud machines.
Anyway, I would like to ask you a question, where you heard of us?

Hi
Thanks for your reply
Please clarify the following for me--
I thought Delta Cloud provides an API? How will I access the API if I
cant access that API over a specific domain(in which delta cloud is
deployed)?
Well, Deltacloud is an API Rest server. You can configure it to be
listening on any ip address that you think is the most suitable for you.
At the end the Rest API is given over HTTP/HTTPS so you have to treat
him as a web server.
Or, do I have to deploy DeltaCloud as you have said, and then use the
client library in the same machine (on which delta cloud is installed)--
in which ever application I want to use Delta Cloud in? Please clarify
the above for me.

Hello all,
Howdy!
I wish to deploy Delta Cloud and use it via its API.
Amazing!!
I want to use its API via a specific domain, in a server where I am
using a hosting control panel to deploy multiple domains/websites.
Can anyone let me know how to configure and deploy DEltacloud so that
it works under one such domain? For any of the popular control panels-
like CPanel/Plesk/Webmin?
So that some domains have their existing websites/php apps while one
new domain is used to access Deltacloud API?
Well, deploy deltacloud itself is really easy, what you need to do is to
install it following this procedure:
deltacloud.apache.org/install-deltacloud.html
You would need a shell to the machine to install this ruby application.
Well, you should not worry about it, because deltacloud run iteself on
127.0.0.1 that mean localhost, so is not accessible from the outside and
moreover we don't store any credentials so you should be safe for that
as well :)
Another query- in the above scenario, how do I deploy updates to
DeltaCloud?
Well, since it's distributed as gem for ruby you can run gem update
deltacloud if you're not using a pre packaged version (Fedora or RHEL).
Yours sincerely,
Arvind.
Cheers and thanks for contact us,
